Salt Lake Vacation

For Memorial Day Weekend we took a trip down to Salt Lake City for some family fun.  We stayed in our World Mark Condo in Ogden and focused on seeing things around that area.  One of the places we like to go to is Lagoon.  As we were driving there on the freeway, McKay threw up.  It was all over him, Kason, and the seats and floor.  Luckily we had a lot of wet wipes to clean up the spill.  We stopped off at Walmart and had to buy McKay some new clothes, lucikly we found a short sleeve shirt for $1 and a long sleeve shirt for $3.00.  We got to Lagoon and it was a bit cold at times and super crowded.  They did not have the Lagoona Beach open yet and I think that could have thinned the crowd a bit.  Also they had a really good Memorial Day sale on the tickets and I think others took advantage of the deal as well.  The kids rode lots of rides and had a lot of fun.  Kory and I waited in line for Wicked and just as we got to the end, the ride shut down.  They made us all get out of line.  Then we went on another ride and it broke down when we were almost to the end as well.  They did eventually get that ride going and we were able to ride it by the Wicked ride never opened again while we were there.  Also towards the end it started raining, really raining.  We hurried and left.  It was fun, but at times I wish Kory and I could have went on more rides.  The kids had a blast though and were exhaused on the drive back to the condo.

One of the days we went to the Airplane Museum in Ogden right off the freeway.  Kory has always wanted to go there.  We had no idea what it was about.  We thought it was just the airplanes you see outside as you drive by but it was so much more.  Inside were two huge hangers full of planes.  It was really amazing and the kids were soooo good there and well behaved.  We just walked around and took our time.  It was peaceful and quiet and not very many people there.  We found a fun play area for the kids with hands on toys and science projects and other aviation things that they could try.  We spent about an hour just in that room with the kids having a blast.  The planes were amazing and HUGE.  We really enjoyed this place and glad we were finally able to go.

On our drive to Ogden, we got off the freeway and headed to Golden Spike Museum.  It was in the middle of nowhere and really simple and nicely done.  We were there later in the afternoon and we got the chance to watch one of the trains move and blow its whisle and drive off where they put it away for the night.  That was neat for us and the kids.  Overall we had a wonderful trip and were busy most of the time but also had some time to relax.  Can't wait till next year!
