Hey...I thought it was Spring

Fillmore, Utah
This is not fair, one day your wearing shorts the next day...a snowsuit!! As the old saying goes, "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get"; the weather is the same when you are traveling in the Spring. We took the girls out to do their business - all they wanted to do was play. They look like huge snowballs, they did nothing significant, and now we have two very wet little girls. Getting the snow off of them was quite another matter. I should have taken a picture but we were too busy trying to get the snowballs off.

The sun is out now, so hopefully it will melt the snow. Even with the improvement in the weather, it's too late for us to leave, our next stop would be Pocatello, Idaho and it is a fair distance from Fillmore,Utah. We will keep our fingers crossed that it does not snow anymore and that the roads will be dry in the morning.

Just before St George, Utah
Up until now the trip was very uneventful (mind you, we only left on Wednesday), very pleasant drive. Our first night was spent at Needles, California, which was hot. Las Vegas was actually quite quiet when we came through the traffic on the freeway was light in comparison to other times.

I'm always amazed when we drive through the canyon just before St. George when heading north.  Not really sure if it is the scenery so much as the road that goes through the canyon. I always have these visions of the people who built the highway, blasting their way through the corridor which in my opinion seems much more exciting and challenging.

Regardless is a very scenic drive. Spotted a Mormon Temple while going through the City of St. George.  It's the first time I've ever noticed it.  It looks huge from a distance.  Not sure why I've never noticed it before.

We were hoping the Salt Lake City Corridor would be the same today, being that it is Good Friday and a holiday for most, unfortunately that did not happen.

Oh well, we'll see what tomorrow brings.
