it has felt like forever since we've taken a vacation. now that jacks and livi are in elementary school, travel is somewhat restricted to major holidays and spring break, which are unsurprisingly, the most expensive times to travel! for memorial day weekend, we headed to park city, utah with 6 other families, and for five glorious days, we caught up with amazing friends, ate delicious food, and took a break from the craziness of our daily lives. i'm very thankful for vacation and especially for wonderful friends and family to share it with.
