Well, we had a plan

to go on vacation last Wednesday and be gone until tomorrow.  Today we were planning to attend Church in Hanksville, Utah and then head to the slot canyons in the middle of Utah called Goblin Valley.  We were going down 122 miles of an "All American Byway" through south east Utah.  Oh well, we are home and I am typing on the computer so our plan didn't go as plan.

There were some early warning signs that things might not work out.  Ben changed medications just over a week ago and that is always not a good time to head out of town but we tried to remain positive.  Then our normal dog sitter broke her foot and had surgery..  And then life was busy and we didn't start working on getting the RV ready as soon as we had planned, but last Monday we were still planning on leaving on Thursday and then the bug hit....

first Gary, a few hours later Jena and a few hours later I got it--a 48 hour stomach bug.  That cinched it.  We stay home....and I was asked to sub for Relief Society, we attended the High Priest Social we were going to miss and we had a Scout meeting and I got homework done,,,so it was good.

We will try that trip another time.
