Utah Day 1

I just got back from a family trip for a wedding in Utah!  We had a blast and definitely left with tons of new stories to tell!  The first day was spent mostly traveling and was exhausting!  The wedding was for one of Grant's cousins.  Grant couldn't go, so I volunteered to represent our family!  
 
His grandparents, and cousins Alec and Walker, and I left on Thursday morning at 5 a.m.  Since I have been out of work mode for the past couple of months, 5am came WAY early!  We drove the two hours to Nashville and got to the airport two hours early (per Grant's grandmother's request :) love her)
 
We had a two hour layover in Phoenix, so we sat down and ate at an authentic Mexican restaurant and tried to waste some time with an 8 year old.

 Walker thought this lime drink was so cool...yuck!
 
 The 4 am wake up call got to Alec! haha!  She got me back though when she snapped a picture of me with my head falling over and drool running down my chin! Ha!
 
We finally landed in Salt Lake City around 4:30 their time and Clay, Kem, and Courtney were waiting for us at the airport!  We rented a couple of cars and then headed to the spaghetti factory to meet the cousins for dinner.  We visited for a while and then headed to our hotel.  The hotel was in Park City, Utah, where they held the 2002 winter Olympics!  We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria (fancy!) and it was beautiful!! 
 
 This is the pool area. SO gorgeous!

 Courtney and I after a LONG day of traveling!  Love being reunited with my sister-in-law!
 
 Every night they had s'mores stations set up by the fire pits.  Of course that was the first thing the boys wanted to do when we got there!
 
 Walker, Clay, and Kemy trying not to burn themselves or each other!
 
 Thankfully they just burned the marshmallows!
 
Loving on Clay!
 
After we settled in and roasted our marshmallows it was off to bed!  Clay was still on Maryland time, so after little sleep all day he was up at 5am Utah time!  Ughhh!  No rest for the weary!
