Mini vacation to Vernal!













Since Jake's company got the job in Vernal he has been driving back and forth several times a week. It is not a very fun drive.....six hours round trip! The first week he drove there and back three days, the next week they told him he had to go up on Tuesday morning and stay over until Friday evening. So Jake drove there on Tuesday morning and decided at 6:00 pm to come all the way back to Salt Lake to pick us up and take us all back to Vernal with him. So we left Salt Lake around 9:30 pm and arrived in Vernal around 12:30 am and that was after getting pulled over in Roosevelt for speeding. The cops just sit there and wait for people to drive into those small towns where the speed limit drops by 20-30 miles. The police officer woke up all three of our kids and all of them were crying. I would have been really angry but he decided to let us off with just a verbal warning. Thank you Mr. police officer! Here are some pictures from our little trip to Vernal. These pictures are from dinoland, throwing rocks in the green river and swimming at our hotel. (Jack would call the hotel the museum!) I guess I need to get used to Vernal.....it is where we will call home for the next little while!
