We do and we love it! In fact, I plan on doing this every summer. We had a wonderful time! We left on June 29th and stayed overnight in Winnemecca, Nevada...one of Nevada's finer cities for sure. Our usual hotel was taken, so we chose one that was, well not our first choice. We stayed with Grandma Hobbs for the first few days and then with Grandpa Hobbs
for the next few days. We had a week full of fun, but our camera was with George on his hike. So I don't have pictures of the Dinasour Museum, Provo 4th of July parade, BBQ with the Hobbs side, visit to the Hogle Zoo, & the Bucket pool with grandpa. But they were all a blast. George went with his dad & uncle Roger on a 4 day hike in the Uintas. I asked if they had fun and they replied that it was hard and are glad it is over. George then flew back to Palo Alto to work and we headed off to Idaho for the next 2 weeks. We started off in Shelley and got to ride & hang out with Great Grandma & Grandpa Searle. Then it was off to Island Park & Yellowstone Park. There we went swimming, to the Playmill in West Yellowstone and to see Foot Loose with the older cousins, saw some gysers, & ate lunch with a buffalo. We had a blast even though we didn't get much sleep. There were 7 kids under 7, 4 adults in a 2 bedroom condo. Then we were off to Twin Falls to stay with Uncle Tony & Aunt Jodi. We went to art in the park, a 4-wheeler ride with Cache & Cooper, slip-n-slide with Uncle Tony, & lots of scrapbooking for me. Then it was off to Grandma Gourley's house. We went & saw Beauty and the Beast at the Hale Center Theatre, had lunch with the Disney Princesses, swam and slip-n-slide, Farm Country to ride the ponies, had 3 birthday parties (one for Alex, one for Sam, & one together), fishing with both Grandpa Gourleys, going down the slide at Natalie's pool, & a Hobbs Family Reunion. We ate lots of yummy food, stayed up late, went to the movies, & were lazy when we weren't partin. We were exhausted by the end, but loved spending so much time with the people we love. Now it is back to reality.

Looks like you guys had so much fun! Sounds like the kids were good travelers too. And a date for Heather is a way better souvenir than a snow globe or a t-shirt. Call me and fill me in on the details. Now that you are back in town we'll have to get together. I take the GMAT in 2 weeks...but I'm always looking for study break excuses ;-).
We do that too, and we love it! It's hard to be away from Mike, but it's the best way for kids to know their extended family when they live away. Glad you had such a great time.
We were glad that you were here that long. It was a good way to allow you to visit with everyone. It was good to see you. It is now our turn to come out and visit CA.
