The drive out to Utah was a little frightening, but we made it in one piece. We had been watching the weather all week and hoping to avoid a storm. Friday night as we went to bed with the car loading a large portion of I-80 was closed. By 3 am most roads were open but slick. When we woke up at 6 most roads had switched to "slick in spots." So with each hour bringing improvements we headed out.
The three times we stopped we almost died of frostbite walking into the bathroom. We hit a couple whiteouts where we could not see 10 feet in front or behind. And some really scary roads near Evanston. But since all our travel was during daylight we made it safe and sound. We're hoping to hit better weather on the way home this weekend. Wish the pictures I took with my phone did more justice to our perilous journey.

Oh I do not miss those winter storm drives. It's way too stressful. Glad you made it and sounds like you were very smart--not surprising! Great idea for the boys! Perfect idea! Looks like a fun Christmas. Thanks for the cute Christmas card. Spence was glad to "see my James".
