Wendy in the Wasatch: A Family Visit (Promontory, Maddox, Snowbasin and Beyond)

This past weekend my folks visited us. It was their first time in Utah. I have been babbling about how wonderful our town is, how beautiful the state is, etc. etc., and they were able to experience it for themselves!

We spent Friday night relaxing with homemade chili, Great Harvest bread, apple pie, salad, other stuff, and great conversation.

Saturday brought a visit out to Promontory (north of Promontory Point) to see the Golden Spike National Historic Site. Scott and my parents had not been there before, but I had visited 11 years ago. They thoroughly enjoyed the history and views of the area.

We then headed over to Brigham City for lunch at Maddox which was as amazing as always. On the way out, Mom and Scott were surprised my a chance meeting with Mr. Maddox, the owner. He was thrilled to hear the service his granddaughter provided us, and they were beaming at the chance encounter.

Sunday contained mostly quality time in the Ogden Valley area and Eden. We drove through the canyon, went to Snowbasin, spent time at the Olympic Lodge, visited with the moose, and more before continuing on to Causey. Of course, like last time, the trip required some navigational supports, and we wound up having a picnic lunch at the Eden Valley Market. We eventually made it to Causey where Mom and Dad enjoyed the views of this area.

So with that all said, here are some photos of the weekend's adventures. (Thanks Mom and Dad for a magnificent time!)
