Being the cheap people we are, we found a way to have our trip (mileage) paid for. Since Ryan works for Family Search we could be reimbursed if he stopped and worked at some family history centers. So, we drove to Circleville. Where is that you ask? Exactly! It's directly east of Beaver, over the mountains in the middle of nowhere. Besides the financial benefit of stopping there, we were able to plan our trip around Carter's eating schedule. Fed him before we left and by the time we got to Circleville we fed him again and let him play for an hour or two while Ryan worked. Perfect for a trip with the baby. He didn't get mad about being strapped in the car seat for too long and I didn't have to ride in the back.
Side note: the family history director in Circleville is nuts! If you ever want a good story, just ask Ryan. He even has a running joke with his coworkers because of it.
We are blessed with the baby we have. He didn't really cry about being in the car until we got to New Harmony. We finished our drive and remembered what we didn't miss about St. George...the HEAT! Poor little baby got super sweaty whenever we had to go somewhere.
During our trip we decided to attend church at our old ward. Apparently the reorganized the ward boundaries about a month after we moved. It was fun to see our friends from the ward and it made me miss all the good people there in the St George 2nd ward. Everyone there got excited to think we were moving back...sorry nope.
We finished off the weekend trip by going out with friends and baking all the goodies for Lake Powell. It was really fun to see our friends.
