We're back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our road trip to Arizona.  Lots of driving in the car, which wasn't so enjoyable, but always an adventure.

Oh, the Arizona warmth and being with the family does a body good.

I was expecting all the snow to be gone (wishful thinking) when we got back, so I was a little bummed to see a yard still full of the white stuff.  Yet, we have spotted the robins, so spring is on it's way!

I will spare you all the details about our road trip and all the cool things we did in Arizona, but I do want to mention one a great day trip option to Thanksgiving Point, Utah.

Geepers, that place is awesome and so perfect for families.  We were on a time crunch, so we could only explore the Dinosaur Museum, but next time, we will definitely venture to the farm and the garden and perhaps some shopping for me!

The  museum is hands-on for kids and kept our toddler, preschooler and kindergarten thoroughly entertained for more than 2 hours.

Seeing how big the dinosaurs actually were, was an amazing sight!

Also, the museum was very educational for me.  They had an actual palentoligist in the museum and we watched him work on reconstructing an actual dinosaur whose bones were discovered in Colorado.

In one area of the museum, they had a large water and sand table that took up the entire room.  Little kids were having a grand ball having their mini- dinos tramp around all the water and sand. It was a little boy mecca.

Literally, within walking distance is the farm, the shopping, and the hotel that we stayed at.  I believe you have to drive a little ways to the garden.

Thanksgiving Point is a new" must visit again" spot for our family!  Only down fall?  Target is a distance away, but I was still able to make a quick visit!
