So we went and we liked. @Terri_O and myself loaded up the 3 kiddos and made the first of many trips to Utah. First off, the kids where amazing for the 6.5 hour car ride and almost 11 hours home. Then add another 7 hours while we drove around looking at properties and the area. Anyways, we did some hands on research and found some places. One place was pretty dang nice and needed little work. Well, besides doubling the house size. haha you know nothing to major. After looking at different lays of land and areas we were able to narrow down what we really would like and location of the area.
While we were there we saw some amazing views and even made a trip up to Brian Head. Even got to get the line wet for a few. While we didn't get to see any (live) deer in Utah @Terri_O did find a shed. Oh, and the oldest spotted (2) does on our way home.... in the Cajon pass of all places. Haha. It was a great trip all in all and of course we couldn't pass by Bass Pro Shops without making a quick stop.
If you are thinking about wanting to leave California and move it's not easy. It's a life style change, it's an attitude change and a pace change. On a side note Utah is not for everyone. AZ, ID, MT and NV can be more appealing for most. One thing I do know from living in other states is actually 2 things; 1.Driving: people think think it's so far and 2.People dont realize how much they drive. and 3. The speed limits on the freeway it's 75 in town areas and 80 out of town. Then once in town it slows down to 35 to 45. Oh, and the town closes down on Sunday.
