Saturday, December 24, 2016 – Glendale, Utah
In 2016 we were all still Floridians. We didn’t know that within a few years we would all live in the Upper Midwest or Northeast and that snow and ice would be a normal part of winter life. Snow was definitely a novelty back then and we were rewarded on Christmas Eve.
We checked the weather forecast and knew that a decent amount of snow was coming. We thought we might be able to get a short hike in in the morning and we headed out for Zion, but it started snowing pretty hard on our way so we turned around and went back to the cabin. This Floridian was smart enough to park the car near the end of the driveway instead of up by the house, which turned out to be a good decision. The snow kept coming all day. We had about 8 inches when we went to bed and it was still coming down.
The cabin was a great place to ride out the storm. We read, played games, and went outside for an epic snowball fight. In the evening Chrissy made fried rice from my grandmother’s recipe, one of my favorite dishes and somewhat of a Christmas Eve tradition for us if we are traveling. It was a nice, relaxing day.
Where Are We Going Now?
