The Drive to Idaho

On the way to Idaho, for Robin's wedding, we decided to take a detour out to Promontory, Utah to see where the railroads joined and see the golden spike. Well little did we know the golden spike isn't even there, let alone how far out there it really is. We were all a little disappointed. All that is there is the laurel wood railroad tie, that was the last tie laid, and the holes where the spikes should've been. It was cool and everything, just not what we were all hoping for. But the trains on the other hand were well worth the drive out to the middle of nowhere. They were amazing!

Us on the railroad tie...with no golden or silver spikes! :(

My neice Megan came with us to watch Hallie while we were at the temple.

Thanks Meg for coming, it was so nice to have you there!

Yep, pretty sure we're in the middle of nowhere!

We also stopped at a missle display that was on the way to see the golden spike, it was rather impressive!

This is what is attached to the space shuttles when they are launched!

It is ridiculously huge!

Us at Jack-in-the-Box in Boise, 10 hours down, 1 more to go!

It really only should've taken 7ish hours, but we took a couple detours,

and Hallie needed to eat. Put it this way, we took our time!

More to come later!!!
