We took a little trip to Thanksgiving Point, Fillmore, Cove Fort and Provo for our UEA break. Who knew being so close to home for vacation could be so much fun??
We stayed at a hotel next to Thanksgiving Point. It was a great location and it had a swimming pool. ‘Nuff said!! I managed to forget Daniel’s swimming suit, but we were close enough to Walmart that we were able to get him some shorts and swimming diapers. Whew! Thank goodness for modern conveniences!
We explored a volcano in Kanosh and had fun looking through the hole in the rock.
We drove through Fillmore and stopped at the cemetery to see the gravesites for Grandparents and other ancestors.
Of course we stopped at the Finlinson wall. And we even located some bacon!
We went to Cove Fort and explored the wonders of a real Pioneer settlement.
On our way to Provo, we passed the Payson and Provo Town Center temples (both under construction).
We went to BYU and ate at the CougarEat, explored the Bean Museum, and had ice cream at the Creamery.
Whew! That was all in one day!
Then we spent a day at Thanksgiving Point’s Museum of Natural Curiosity and petting zoo. I happen to know some people who were in heaven!
We ended our vacation with a stop at the cemetery to see Grandma F.’s gravesite, as well as other ancestors.
We had so much fun!! We are thinking that a UEA vacation needs to become an annual tradition. Wonder where we’ll go in 2015?!?!
That sounds fantastic!
