Monticello Temple

Friday, the 5th we took the long ride to Monticello.

Jamie's friend, Laura came with us.

Saturday morning (6th) we went to the temple.

We got special treatment at the temple, the temple president talked with us and told some neat stories about the temple and the building of it.

After the temple it was on the road again.  This time to Four Corners to fulfill one of Jamie's dreams. Ever since third grade she has wanted to go there.  Come to find out it is one of the places Scott has always wanted to visit too.  

Jamie in four states at once.

After Four Corners we stopped in Bluff at the fort.  This is where the Saints settled after their long journey and then making the trail through the rock which has become known as the "hole in the rock".

We wanted to see the "hole in the rock" but it was many more miles on a rough road.

Our last stop was in Moab at Milt's, the local hamburger place.

That was the highlights of our trip to Monticello and how I spent my birthday. 

If you are on the road for your birthday I can't think of a better place to be, the temple, and no one better to spend it with than family and good friends.

Thanks Teri Sue for the pictures.  Yes, I forgot my camera again.
