Vacation Week 1

David has a couple weeks off so we planned some local adventures. 

We took Grandma and Grandpa C. to the Ogden Temple open house

David, RaDawn, Sadie and Emily went to Promontory Point to see the Golden Spike,
only the Golden Spike is on display at Stanford University in California.  

Fortunately we were able to buy a chocolate replica, Yum!

We stopped in Riverside to visit the graves of David's grandparents, 

great-grandparents and other family members.

We headed to Logan where we checked out Utah State, and toured the laboratory of our good friend, Craig. Dave and Craig have been friends since college and we have enjoyed getting together with Craig and his wife Trudy over the years. Craig and Trudy bought us dinner (which we ate in the canyon) and then we hiked the Crimson Trail.

We celebrated our triumph over the 3 mile (felt like 6) trail with Aggie ice-cream

Sadie has been working at the creamery all summer so she was anxious to compare ice cream.
She says BYU's is better, although we really enjoyed USU's.
