At last, a night's sleep in familiar surroundings! It is nice to wakeup late, know where the bathroom is, be able to fix yourself whatever you want for breakfast. We knew that we needed to have the oil changed on the plane, but there were other benefits to coming home for the required maintenance. Ahhh!

    Utah is an interesting state. It boasts the greatest number of national parks (five) and has a myriad of landscapes all within a couple of hours by car. We have harsh desert regions, towering mountains which provide for the best skiing in the world, a great salt lake, lush forests for hiking and biking, and various bodies of fresh water for boating, skiing, fishing, you name it. And isn't it funny, there are people, like Jared, that have this wonderful variety in their own backyard, and haven't sampled much of it. We go to other places, our 48-state tour for example, to experience what life has to offer, and out-of-staters come to Utah to check us out. Kind of wierd.
