So Many Trips to Utah

We drive out to Utah a lot.  Like, a lot a lot.

We have that four hour drive DOWN.  We know every potty stop, every make-your-own-potty stop, the best gas stations, which beef jerky is the most delicious, and exactly how much time we have left at all times.  We estimate that at an average of 14 trips per year, we have crossed the Salt Flats 112 times.

So whhhhyyyyy do we make this less-than-attractive drive so often?  

Well, we have weddings (Congrats McCall and Connor!):

Hanging out with wonderful grandparents:

Funerals:

To experience actual splash pads (with cousins!):

To see childhood friends and their children:

To meet our adorable new nephew Archie:

And to attend yet more weddings (Congrats Justin and Alicia!)

But really, we just love our families, and we love Utah.  Wild horses couldn't keep us away!
