Our family vacation this year consisted of a road trip back to Idaho with my parents and little brother. We left about 7:30 in the morning and we got home around 11pm. It was a long day, but a lot of fun! We drove through northern Utah and made lots of stops along the way. Our first stop was through the fruit loop. Near Brigham City there are quite a few fruit stands out by the highway this time of year-thus the name "fruit loop". We randomly stopped at this stand to check out the prices and later noticed that it was called "Nielson's". So of course we had to take a picture!
Our next stop was in Brigham City to visit the grave of Lorenzo Snow-the 5th president of the church.
The sweet lady I work for grew up in a small town in southern Idaho. We went by her family ranch-it was white when she was growing up. Her daughter-in-law just opened up a small cafe in their little town, so we went there for a yummy lunch.
We stopped at the ice caves-Eric loved them because they were so cold! He said if he had been a pioneer he would have settled in the cave!
I think Eric, Andrew and my Dad were the only ones who ventured into the caves-they were pretty dark and Adam said it was too scary!
We went to Soda Springs to see the geyser-we were less excited about it once we found out it was man made. Adam was still amazed by it, so the stop was worth it.
Living in Idaho is kind of a blur to me, but I do miss the beautiful blue sky and giant clouds!

While in Soda Springs we went to have a taste of the natural "soda" water. Adam filled his cup, took a drink, made a face, said, "No thanks!" and dumped his water back in the spring. It was hilarious!
After driving through beautiful country, a quick visit to Bear Lake, a stop for a famous raspberry shake and a drive through some beautiful canyons, we stopped at the famous Maddox restaurant for some dinner before heading home. It was a long day, but a fun one! I love road trips!
