Celebrating....on a road trip!

Kelsey! She got it from me. She got it from Grandpa. Our kind of fun.... road trip! She took the day off work and we went for a drive to celebrate her birthday. The day was much like the day she was born. Bleak, gray, windy, and stormy; not what you would expect the first day of Spring to be. But Kelsey is anything but that... she's energetic, optimistic, and full of sunshine!

She's looking for acreage (only window shopping, mind you) so they can add a horse to their growing farm. We headed to Logan and stopped at Seagull Book first of all. Kelsey picked out a few books for her birthday and then we had lunch at Chili's. On the way to Preston Idaho we found the most delightful house, North of Richmond, on 12 acres. A phone call let us know it was under contract. When we got to Preston, we filled up at a service station and purchased a couple of maps for directions on the back roads of Cache Valley. We stopped at Arctic Circle and got a milk shake for the road. The sites were pleasant enough but it was nice to come back home, over the hill.... Box Elder! Kelsey found her dream property, only a few miles from her house, sitting up against the Wasatch range. She couldn't resist... she climbed the barbed wire fence, got stuck, just to check out the foundation in the middle of the property. Doesn't that sound like something Grandpa would do! The property sits on 6 acres. The owners are not in any hurry to sell... so, just maybe, in a few years!!!

Road trips are definetly our kind of fun!
