When I was recovering from [global convention/end of month/exhaustion/computer induce migraines] and I just needed an afternoon off?
I do. It was last week. I was haggered by Wednesday. So Adam called and came to pick me up a little early from work. Which was a nice change of pace. During convention week you work like a billion hours, so leaving a little early sounded nice.
So he picked me up.
Drove us home.
I was too exhausted to get out of the car.
He felt like the drive wasn't over yet.
So he backed the car up, and we headed out for an adnventure.
We just had to decide where to go....
So as we headed West on I-80 I decided to google the sculpture. I found {THIS} little write up about it, which is where I NOTICED it was 95 MILES west of Salt Lake City....oops....must have felt a lot shorter when you are at the beginning of a 12 hour drive.
Adam {GASPED}
I laughed.
Then we kept driving.
When we got there it it was a Beautiful day out. & EVEN though there were signs that said NO STOPPING...we stopped anyways.
We were both sad to see there was a fence around the sculpture that kept you from getting anywhere close to it. It was fun to stop. To stand in the sun for a minute. To explore.
We posed for a few pictures.
Adam Kissed in the sunlight.
It was awesome.

OUR next dilema:
WHERE to turn around
We could either turn around in one of the authorized only turn arounds...OR DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO WENDOVER!
What do you think Adam picked?
WENDOVER.
I mean we had like 48oz of Mt. Dew left & 2 CHOCODILES why not just go for it?
Along the way we stopped to view the flats
see the Blue star Memorial Highway
&when we made it all the way there, we met Wendover Will.

It was such a weird fun little advenuture.
How often can you say: My husband picked me up from work, and we ended up in Nevada!
Hardly ever. So I glad we took this chance while we had it.
Sometimes, its a lot of fun to be us!
Hey Bubbeye'Thanks for taking me on an adventure. For driving the whole time. For not getting mad when I miss calculated the distance. For sharing your car treats & for making us stop for Ethiopian food on our way home. NEXT time we ride the fun bus.
