Vacation Part II: Salt Lake



Here's a travel quiz: You are in Tucson, about to board a plane to Salt Lake where you will almost surely spend the night at the airport because it's snowing in your final destination, Boston. Oh, and your toddler is coming unglued because she is 1) sick, 2) teething, 3) flying on very little nighttime sleep and no naps for five days. And you happen to be from Salt Lake, where you have great friends you have not seen in a long time. What do you do?

You cancel your flight, that's what!

Boy are we glad we did. What would have been the crappiest, longest layover of our lives turned into a lovely visit in Salt Lake with Kate, Molly, Myron, Malon and Mike. The first four in that last provided great company, food and lodgings to us (and when you travel with a toddler you don't take any of that for granted) and the last one, Mike, gave us a tour of the gorgeous new library in Salt Lake.

Great to see you, everyone. Thank you! We will be back. And your rooms are ready at Hacienda Willcox whenever you want them. We are a cat-free establishment now...

You're a cat-free establishment? What happened?

Love the photo of you and Audie in the butterfly house--she's so enthralled!

And the one of Janna and Audie in the glasses. So cool.
