Day 24

Ok well today we got up and left Reno for our long treck across Nevada and to Park City, Utah. It was a pretty boring ride through Nevada cause there's not really much to look at. We did have one new experience for the trip though.... We got pulled over. Joseph got a speeding ticket going 5 over in a work zone. So 1 ticket for 4600 miles not to bad. Especially since both our friends were creating pools on how many tickets we would get. Anyway after that we continued on and finally got to Park City. We are staying in a very nice place thats actually a bunch of little condos. This is really good for us cause we have a washer and dryer for laundry and we each get our own bedroom. Basically this means I'll sleep better cause I won't have to listen the freight train in the other bed. Well thats all for now except the pictures.

5 over in a work zone. Man, that's down right embarrassing. Come on Joe we all know you can do better than that. Dang, I don't believe I would've told that.

On a better note:

I must compliment both of you. For over 3 weeks now, you guys have been sleeping together, eating together, drinking together, running the bars together, gambling together, driving 4600 miles together and even wine tasting together and you are still speaking to each other. That is amazing. I can barely spend 4 hours together with my siblings at Christmas time. I know you guys get along great and always have and I think this trip is a testament to the bond you guys have. I think is it wonderful. You did a great job mom and dad. You guys need to apply for the next Amazing Race TV show.

I'll second that... In fact, just the other I was wondering how on earth the two of you have stayed so sane. Imagine if the casino experiences hadn't gone as well as they had... perhaps teh situation would be slightly different.

When I discovered the boys were head to Utah I was a little concerned they might run into some interesting local religously persuaded regulations regarding the consumption of alcohol, and would be in dire need to quench their thirsts. In a twist of irony the following is a direct quote from the Park City Chamber of Commerce website:

Getting a drink in Utah isn't as difficult as what you might have heard. Park City makes it even easier with more alcoholic beverage businesses per capita than any other place in the state. So whether you're looking for a local brew or just a glass of wine, you won't be left high and dry.

Isn't tourism grand. Boys take note, they list several establishments by name and address some of which are bound to be good.
