Utah Road Trip Diaries: Day 14 and we are officially at
the two week mark. The kids were up late last night so we had a low key
day around the camper with coffee, school, and swimming. Daniel got off
at 4:30, so we picked him up and went biking. This time on the Canyon
Trail in Logan. This trail was a hybrid of greenway, dirt single track
and gravel. Logan, UT is not flat. We started by the river with plans to
go up to the university (UTU) to get ice cream from Aggies (engineered
on campus as part of their Ag program). The bike ride included a lot of
hills and Daniel telling me at least three times that we only had
another mile (most of it uphill). The kids were good sports, even when
Jack got a flat and had to finish the ride that way. We celebrated the
end of our five mile ride with ice cream. Then Daniel rode quickly back
to get the car. We ended up having another late meal and exhausted kids.
Utah Road Trip Diaries: Day 15 marked Daniel’s last day
of training and our last day in Logan/Hyrum. The kids and I did another
day of errands including laundry, groceries and we hit up two
playgrounds. Back at the camper we packed up before picking Daniel up.
We grabbed CFA on the way out of town. We are headed toward the Grand
Tetons but decided to take the scenic route via Logan Canyon up to Bear
Lake. It was a gorgeous drive with very rugged scenery that was
different from southern Utah. We are camping at the southern tip of Bear
Lake tonight. It is cold but pristine and beautiful. The kids (bundled
in hats, gloves and puffy vests) and Sophie had a ball running on the
beach before bed. We continue to love finding places that are off the
beaten path and empty due to the off season.
