As I was working on this "to-do list" and trying to plot everything on the calendar I noticed all my trips to Utah in April. I thought it would be interesting to add it all up so here is the data:
Conference Weekend- Picked up Millie and went to Grandma's and Mindy's for a fun get away and time with the kids. . . 560 miles
2nd Weekend- Picked up Millie and went to Brigham City for Jessie's Shower. It worked out great being as how Millie had just finished her semester and had a week break and wanted to spend it at Mindy's. So Mindy picked her up at the shower and I went home alone. . . 388 miles
Later the next week- Becca flew in to SLC for a mad week of Wedding Stuff! I went to Bountiful, Saratoga Springs, shopping in Lehi/American Fork, back to Bountiful for the shower, to Orem for Becca's best friend's (Caralee) shower and back to Idaho Falls. . . 622 miles (without adding shopping miles)
While Becca was in Idaho Falls- Went to Rigby and Rexburg to meet with florist, get thank you notes and have a birthday lunch with Millie. . . 58 miles
2 days later- took Becca back to the SLC airport to fly back to California, headed straight to Rexburg to get Millie for a dentist appointment in IF. . . 512 miles
Later that week- took Millie home after she spent her birthday here in IF (with a great dinner at Red Robin!). . . 58 miles
Sunday- April was sick so Dave and I went to Twin to pick up the kids. . . 312 miles
For a grand total of 2,510 miles, 110 gallons of gas (or about $115)!
But. . . time with family and friends- Priceless!
It is about 875 miles to Becca's and back. . . I could have driven there and back and almost all the way there again! But that trip will come the end of May!
Our poor cars!That is how I spent April, nearly 40 hours in the car, no wonder It seems I didn't get anything done!
