A couple of weeks ago we went to Bear Lake with my family to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary. It was an interesting weekend for several reasons. We had never stayed under one roof before with my family. My only sibling who is a parent is my sister, who has a two-year-old. So we were a little anxious about kids being loud and keeping people up. Katie doesn't care to spend too much time in the company of extended family, preferring the comfort of our own home.

In N Out

Convertibles
Again with the blasting of something just because you can't have one. Ok, in Utah, yes. Convertibles are a bad idea. If you live somewhere that doesn't ever snow, however, they're awesome. You obviously have never flown down the highway at 80mph with the top down.
