Golden Spike



Did you know that this is the most famous picture in America's history? Okay, well maybe not this exact picture. But the most famous picture in America's history was taken on May 10, 1869 when the Central and the Union joined their tracks. The boys and I tagged along with Donovan the last couple of days. He had a business project in Tremonton. Yes, sounds boring, but the hotel had a pool. And if the hotel has a pool it's a vacation for the kids. We visited the Golden Spike Railway as you can see. And JT absolutely loved it. Why hadn't I thought to take him there before. He only sleeps, breaths, and eats trains. We also visited ATK and saw the rockets that NASA has used. Cool! They are quite large and impressive. JT loved this little get away. Nate on the other hand loved the swimming pools and the "bubbles" of the hot tub. I know we only let him go in for a few moments. But he loved it. He didn't mind that the water was hotter than hot.

That sounds like a great trip. If you ever make it to Denver (Golden to be more specific) you'll need to stop at the Colorado Railroad Museum (www.crrm.org)

Yea...trains! Happiness abounds in the Brunner home. Sounds like a fun time seeing fun new stuff, and enjoying the hotel and pool. You guys are so creative!
