Salt Lake City Day 2


The first day of my vacation was eventful. The second day was more fun.
My Vacation Story continues.
Here is the second post...


12-30

Continuing our longer than expected drive,

We left the Day’s Inn for our final destination.

With clearer roads and sunny skies,

Three quiet hours passed quickly, landing us in SLC.

So, naturally once we arrived, we ate.

After the last day of white-knuckled driving,

Noodles and Co. with a good friend was necessary.

Filled to the brim with food and good company,

We rented our Snowboard equipment,

And returned with boards and boots to Dakota’s Home.

We settled into Salt Lake City as the

Excitement for the coming day spilled over into our night.

We played games to celebrate our arrival

And the next day’s activities on the Mountain,

Mario Kart and Bananagrams consumed our time.











I love playing games because I’m typically good at them.

In fact, I tell others that

“I don’t play games I don’t win.”

Our competitive natures collapsed

As the mass of games amounted.

The pace of activity slowed as our tired brains

Strained to create words with our inconvenient tiles.

Unwinding from the drive and subsequent day

It felt great to be at our vacation,

Not in route to our vacation.

Played out from the drive and games,

We ended the day with a movie.

Despicable Me was played, but not watched

As tired bodies slumped on the couch and slipped into sleep

Bringing a much needed restful end to the day

And concluding a good start to a great vacation.
