We went hiking several times. My goal this summer was to make it to Lake Blanche up Big Cottonwood Canyon. I attempted it two times before I went the entire way up, 2.8 miles up 3000 vertical feet. I made it with the help and encouragement from my husband and kids. It took us about 3 hours to get to the top. The view was spectacular. Too bad I forgot my camera. We spent some time enjoying the view, knowing we would have to make our way back down in the dark. We sang as we trekked down the dark trail. But we made it. What a great feeling and experience.
We also had the chance to visit San Juan Capistrano, California. What a great historic town with it's Spanish Mission. The beaches were a nice treat and we spent time with relatives and life long friends. Then a weekend in Grand Teton. It is a must see. Beautiful.
We had many great trips and memories.
But now I am back to work. The first day back was great and many of our long time customers came in. I always enjoy seeing familiar faces. I can say I have missed my customers and my staff. I am glad to be back.
