Over Memorial Weekend Andrew and I had a once in a life time opportunity- to go to Star Wars Land at Disneyland before it opened!
Um.... YES! We were so close to going but we had circumstances beyond our control and we could not go.
Someday, we will make it there! And Andrew will be in his own little heaven.
Since we were unable to go to Disneyland we still wanted to make the long weekend memorable.
We went to the Kennecott Copper Mine up in the Salt Lake area.
I had never been there before (shocker because it's totally something my parents would do) and Andrew hasn't been
there since high school. It also had a landslide a few years back and has been redone since he's been there.
It's no Disneyland but it was still pretty cool. I really love exploring our state and the amazing place Utah is.
^One of these tires cost $60,000 and each truck has six! AND they need to replaced every 6 months!^
We learned that Kennecott supplied 1/3 of the copper during WWII and that the mine supplied the medals for
2002 Winter Olympics when they were held in Salt Lake.
We later went to Cabelas and explored and paid a dollar to shoot at targets.
Once again, it's a good thing we do not rely on my shooting capabilities for food because we would be dead.
Andrew did pretty well though!
And look at this! The one on the right is a typical bear skull but the one on the left is another bear skull that is huge!
I thought it was so cool.
We did enjoy our time together in Utah. We do miss our California and all our friends there. We will make it back
soon because we can't stay away for too long! In the meantime, Utah is a pretty wonderful place to be.
