The Joseph's: Our Utah Trip

So Tommy and I went to Utah for our neice's blessing. We met baby Abail. She is so tiny and cute. I just couldn't stop watching her smile and look around at everything and everyone. Everyone thought she was the cutest little thing. Thanks so much Diana and Al for everything. We had a great time. We met Al's parents, and some of his family. Everyone is very nice. The drive out there took 21 hours. The drive back took 24 hours. We didn't stop at a hotel. We only stopped to get gas, use the bathroom, and get food and drinks. We wanted to drive straight threw so we did. We got behind due to snow in Kansas, Colarado and Utah. We left Thursday afternoon after I got off work and we finished packing and dropped off the dogs at our friends houses and arrived Friday late afternoon. There was a blizzard so we had to go extra slow. We were so exhausted.That night we all went out to dinner at Tucano's buffet/brazillion restaurant. We loved it. It was a noisy crowded place but the food was so delicious. Wish we had that restaurant where we live. It is expensive but it is totally worth it. You get so much food. The next morning, Al's mom made breakfast. It was very good. Then some family went shopping while others stayed home with Diana and Abby. Tommy and I stayed at the house for the most part. Then later that day, Al and his brother grilled while his mom cooked in the kitchen. Everything tasted so good. We had dinner and so it was a nice day. The next morning, we all got ready and went to Abby's blessing. The blessing was very nice. Al gave a speech to Abby in front of everyone so that was really special. Then we all came back to the house, took pictures and hung out. We left that afternoon and arrived home Monday night. We bought some souveneirs from the states we drove through so that was cool. Diana and Al really liked the gifts Mom and Dad J got her, what we got her and the frame and plaque I painted for Abby. It was a great trip. Short but nice. Our pets were so happy to see us. We were happy to see them too. Saturday is Duke's three week vet checkup and vaccination appt. He should be over the gaurdia, which will be good. Now it is back to work!! Fun fun, haha!! I posted pics of our trip, so you can see.
