We drove close to 30 hours over the three day weekend. It was worth it though for Josue and Stephanie's wedding! We were able to see Mom and Dad in Elko before they left for England to pick up Cam (I am so excited to see him soon!). Dad gave us an accordion concert including "La Cucaracha" for Jamir. Then we headed to Utah the next day to meet with friends, eat our favorite gyros and Cafe Rio, visit BYU, and shop a little before having a family dinner.
Sharon and Dave (Sam's parents) let us stay the night and fed us a great breakfast before we headed back to Bountiful for the wedding. It was a very nice ceremony half in Spanish and half in English. Then a reception in Pocatello, followed by a drive to Elko to spend Memorial Day with Grandma.

| We stopped halfway to write on our car. That road is so long and deserted. |

| I had made this banner and wanted a pic before we decorated their car with it. The salt flats were a great place to stop. |

| Still not finished-Provo Temple. |

| The room we met for the first time. It has carpet now and no plants! Weird. |

I was glad we got to spend some time with Grandma visiting Grandpa, Great Grandma, and Gerry's graves. Grandma said that Grandpa always liked to have fresh flowers in his yard. In honor of this, every year we cut fresh flowers to put on his grave.
