A Brief Intermission: SLC Punk (7/26-28/2012)

Austin had a meeting in SLC on Friday and invited Ilija and I to go down with him.  Long car rides were not Ilija's strong suit, but recently he has gotten pretty good at handling a handful of hours in the Subaru with the right combination of treats, books and toys.  We took half of Thursday off to head down during daylight and since the internal YNP roads are open (yay for summer!) we went through West Yellowstone and south.  The drive was beautiful.  Ilija was well behaved and we got a great hotel in downtown SLC that Pirate could stay in with us so he didn't have to go to a separate doggy hotel--score for all of us!

Aren't they just the cutest?! A little more sleep.

First dinner in SLC was at squatters brewery. Yummy food and a nice cold brew.  It was late and Ilija was starting to lose it, but the waiter was really helpful and quick.

It was HOT in SLC.  So Pi found a nice cool bed in the hotel room.

When Austin got out of his day of meetings, we all walked to this huge park.  Some relaxed in the shade.

Some slept in the stroller. Hot little guy.

Some wore ridiculously large hats.

Friday night we wanted to hit a local resturant for dinner, but it was super crowded so we headed to Buca di Beppos for pasta.

We left relatively early on Saturday for the drive home.  So we got home in the late afternoon in time for a beverage on the porch.
