ROAD TRIP TO UTAH = BIG BLOG!

After we attended the SAQA conference in Philadelphia, we set out south towards North Carolina, then we went west and  just kept driving... hope you enjoy our adventures. We had a really memorable time. The USA is a fascinating place. 
We ended up at the Alegre Retreat at Gateway Canyon Resort - blog to follow about that.
