My passions in life include my faith in God, my family, American history, and a good road trip.

123,456 miles!

Sunday evening, after we had returned from church and ate our dinner, Claudia and I went for a ride in our old 1998 Ford Windstar minivan. We took the back roads through Bountiful and Centerville to Farmington and drove by the house where Chris and Camilla lived for a while when they were house sitting for a missionary couple. We also drove by the historic rock home on the corner of 100 East and 500 North where my grandmother used to live after she married Harry Pledger. And by the old rock church where the first Primary was organized.

Less than a mile later, while still in Farmington, we pulled over to the side of the street we were on and took this picture of our odometer showing that our car had traveled 123,456 miles.


Not quite as far as the 222,222 miles Talmage's Saturn has traveled, but just as classy.

Thanks for letting us help you get to such a cool number by letting us borrow your car last week and drive it to Cedar City and back and then around the Wasatch Front. :)
