Well, it's Monday morning and we are getting ready to go to Diane and Bill's house in Oregon. We spent yesterday just relaxing since we've been on the go for the past three weeks! Salt Lake is an easy city to get around by foot, but John and I wanted to try out the trolley too! We spent some time over in Temple Square to see all of the buildings. I was trying to get John to stop for the Tabernacle Choir's practice, but he had other plans! Don't worry Mom - no one tried to convert us!
We spent the rest of the day at the movie theater seeing Get Smart.... It was actually a good idea since I think it was 98 degrees here. No matter what anyone says...98 is hot - dry heat or not! We then got on two incorrect trolleys before we finally got back to the hotel. We did pick up a new book for John about Ripley's Believe it or Not. As I watched him trying to read that book as we were eating dinner, and reading it as we were walking back to the hotel, he reminded me so much of myself when I would read my books at the dinner table. John has discovered that there are 15 or so Ripleys museums and he'd like to do a road trip to visit those as well. We saw our first in Jackson Hole. Thank Goodness there's another in NYC and Atlantic City so we won't have to travel too far just yet. However, one of them is in Thailand!!!
We will be in Oregon until the 30th and then we fly home. John is looking forward to riding bikes, going four-wheeling, going to the coast and (if you can believe it) not eating in restaurants anymore! I'm just looking forward to sitting down and talking to my friend!!!
Talk to you soon!!

Hi Maureen & John - We've been meaning to post something on your blog but are only now getting to it. It was great to see you in Ohio! We still have some ramen noodles - hope you didn't miss them. :) Glad you were able to visit us and the rest of your trip looks like a blast. Have fun in Oregon!
Love,
Mary & Mike
