Browsing Michaels yesterday rekindled my obsession with buying scrapbooking products and seeing as how the modern version was born in Utah how could I pass up the opportunity to visit an LSS (Local Scrapbook Store), course the nearest one was back in Salt Lake City. Batting my eyelashes I convinced Wouter to drive the 30 odd miles back the way we came encountering nasty traffic along the way only to find the stupid shop was closed – bitterly disappointing.
Because of my fruitless expedition we ended up being a little behind schedule and while Wouter went round the Browning museum, the kids and I had breakfast in the restaurant. Seems most restaurants will refill your drink when you’re finished for no extra charge which can be nice if you’re really thirsty but somewhat daunting when not.

Tanya’s travel tip no. 34 when travelling from Ogden in the direction of Jackson and you happen to mention how close the snow seems to be and your driver spots a patch really close to the road when you stop to frolic in it – do not, I repeat do not walk on it in flip flops and try to do your world famous (at least soon to be) ski’ing impersonation – “swish, swish” because you will find yourself flat on your back, ask me how I know. Side effects of trying to impersonate one of the cutely clad skiers one sees on tv – vicious headache and rapidly stiffening neck, hmm wonder what the signs for concussion are?
I am now relaxing on my bed in my hotel room figuring it’s more whiplash than concussion.
