All According to Plan...I Think Not

A while ago Becca, Elsa, Brooke and I hatched this amazing plan, we were going to leave as soon as finals were done on Wednesday and drive that afternoon to San Diego where we were going to go to the beach and get tan and have an amazing tan. Wednesday afternoon saw us driving away from Liberty Square right on time and way excited for the trip ahead of us. But someone else had differnt plans for us...

After about an hour of driving my car started to overheat, we stopped in Kanosh (pictures to hopefully follow shortly) and again at Cove Fort to try and let it cool down, but it was not getting any better, so I called Uncle Todd and he said that I most likely needed a new radiator and that we needed to come back to Provo. You cannot imagine how depressed we were by that prospect.

So we went to turn around in Beaver, but luckily stopped at a shop there to check the coolant levels. Turns out there was almost no coolant in the car, so this really nice guy at the station added some for us and we continued on our way. But again half way between Cedar City and St. George it stated to overheat even worse than before. So we had to stop in St. George for the night. Luckily Brooke had an aunt and uncle in St. George that let us stay with them.

So a new radiator and another 6 hours in the car and we finally arrived in San Marcos last night. So to sum it up, longest trip of my life.
