A quick post for a quick visit!

It was a 6 hour drive today from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City with just a quick lunch stop.

We didn’t have a planned lunch stop but got really lucky when we chose Cedar City. The town itself was little and cute enough – flowers lining the main street and all that. We stumbled across a great diner with quick and friendly service that was really good value (yay!) and were back on the road in under an hour.

The trip ended up being a little longer with an accident (or breakdown, we’re not sure) on the outskirts of Salt Lake City. But that allowed for some traffic jam selfies and super-fun car games, like discussing the outcome of a hypothetical battle between Hawkeye versus Legolas. Yes, we know we’re nerds.

We arrived at about 7pm, checked into our hotel in the city centre, then headed out for a light dinner at The Cheesecake Factory which happened to be nearby. (No, Mum, it wasn’t a cheesecake-only dinner, don’t worry.)

A little Pokemon Go, some quick pictures and it was back to the hotel for an early night. We have another long drive tomorrow to head up to our accomodation for the Yellowstone part of our trip. We got lucky again with our server at The Cheesecake Factory – a local who’s travelled to more than 30 countries and 5 continents (although not Australia, yet). He sat down with us for a few minutes to talk us through things we could see on the way up to Yellowstone, and we’re really excited about the drive tomorrow.

Next update from Yellowstone!
