Memorial Weekend and a good ole fashion sand blasting

I want to share my memorial weekend adventure. First of all since I am at work right now it will be a "No Picture" post, but I will try and remember to post pictures later.

Our 3rd Annual neighborhood BBQ was held on Friday to kick off the weekend. The weather was cold and sucky. We still had an ok turn out but not like last year. One day maybe mother nature will pull it together and have nice warm weather for this awesome event. (Maybe next year)

After we cleaned up the bbq we got busy packing the car for a camping trip to Cedar Mesa. We woke up at 5:30am and dragged the kids out of bed and drove for six hours to meet up with some friends of ours. It was warm but it was windy. We ate lunch then got back in the car and took a drive to see...... well I am not sure what we really saw but we ended up in BLANDing at a new swimming pool. Kids were excited to swim since it has been raining and snowing at home. It was still windy but the kids enjoyed the pool. (We drove 6+ hours to go swimming) After we went swimming we ate a local restaurant and headed back to our camp site, started a fire and roasted marshmellows.

DAY 2 - A 1 mile hike to some ruins and getting sand blasted by the wind the rest of the day. We spent the rest of the day in our friends camper while the wind spread sand and nastiness all over the place. We drove to a place in trees where we could grill up some burgers and hot dogs away from the wind and then by the time dark came the wind died down.

So here is the question..... Which is better staying home and going skiing and watchin movies since Salt Lake got snow and rain or getting sand blasted for two days.....
