We left Wendy's house after breakfast. Wendy had to take Julie and her kids to the airport, so we figured we'd go at the same time. We drove to Elko and got some gas and walked around Costco. We then picked up some lunch in a small town on the way. We had planned to stay in a hotel in Battle Mountain but once we got there, we saw that their pool was closed. The main reason we didn't just drive home in one day was so that the kids could swim one last time. So, we called a bunch of hotels in Elko (an hour away from Battle Mountain and an hour closer to home). We finally found one that had an open pool and a room that would work for a family of six. So, we checked out of the ghetto hotel and drove the hour to Elko.
The new hotel was much nicer, and the pool was good. We all got in and enjoyed the pool and their hot tube. Allie and I got done first so we went up to the room to get showered and dressed in jammies. The rest came up a little later and also got showered. Tony picked up some pizza for dinner and we enjoyed it in our room while watching a movie.
The next morning, we got dressed and went down to eat breakfast in the hotel. It was ok. Better than nothing, I guess. After we checked out and drove home. We were all glad that we were an hour closer to home. We were able to listen to the morning session of General Conference in the car once we got to Wendover. It was a lovely way to spend our Easter morning with family and talks on the Savior. It was a great trip, and we were glad we were able to do it!
