Traveling Together - Vernal

People are starting to say to me, "You're always traveling..." and it does seem like a theme of our almost two years of COVID. A couple of months ago, our travel club had a flash sale and we grabbed a condo for a week in Steamboat Springs, Colorado for a hundred bucks. The condo was good for 6 of us... but wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.

While a lot of people were heading out to do a little Black Friday shopping, I was madly folding laundry, cleaning up from Thanksgiving dinner, and packing suitcases and food. We were trying to get away around 10:00 AM. It was a little scary traveling with Grandpa since he had another kidney stone removed last week, but the drive to Vernal was only about 3 hours and we wanted to get there before dark.

They had a Christmas Festival going on in Vernal and the kids were excited for some of the activities.

My sweetie got a lot of 2nd looks with his cute little elf! He has been growing out his beard since Labor Day and as you know, he looks like the real deal.

This ice sculpture was cool... ok, cold, really. We got free popcorn and hot chocolate from the missionaries.

Baby Doll went down this huge slide.

She even tried ice skating!!

This is the bravest thing Curly did...

We all loved the light parade.

It ended with fireworks, all within walking distance of our hotel. 

Such a great day...a little cold...but awesome.
