"Someday" Was Yesterday

There are a couple of landmarks along I-15 in Southern Utah where I also mean to stop someday when I have more time.  Driving back from St. George yesterday, I decided it was "someday."  Lucky for Tricia, right? 

First stop was Cove Fort.  We watched the video about President Gordon B. Hinckley's grandfather, who established Cove Fort as a waystation at the request of Brigham Young for travelers and early settlers in the Utah Territory.  (Happy Pioneer Day to one and all!)  We also toured the 12-room fort and admired the authentic quilts, telegraph, shotguns, and five-pound bread pans. 

Posing for the required photo beside a Swedish copy of the Book of Mormon.  Since one of our brothers served a mission in Sweden and the other served in Nauvoo, we will always have stories to share to distract senior missionaries who really want us to supply them with names of people we know who might be interested in learning more about the Church.  Thank you, Ty and Tay.

Our last stop on the drive home was The Red Barn outside Santaquin.  They sell fresh fudge (we tried Rocky Road and the Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter), ice cream, berries, jam, and all sorts of goodness.  Thanks to Biz for being a good sport!  In exchange, I will not mention that you brought TWO pairs of shoes on our trip... and I only brought ONE.  Oh, wait.  I just did.  Whoops.  That's just never happened before.  And it probably never will happen again.  So I feel it needs to be documented.  The End.
