The last couple of days, we have had visitors from Australia. Jeff, Peta and Olivia (pictured above) have been staying with us while they visit southwestern Utah's national parks and monuments. We meet them when we were in Fremantle, and during our last trip we plotted this visit. Peta is doing a semester abroad this spring, and squeezing in a little vacation before that happens. This is Olivia and Jeff's first visit to the States.
We have had so much fun visiting and hanging out. Olivia is ultra polite and really enjoyed having a home base where she could just relax and play instead of being in a car seat and motels. Jeff is a "crib" master, and schooled me 3 out of 4 games. I am hoping for a rematch sometime soon.
This morning, they packed up and headed south. They are going to overnight in Las Vegas (Jeff used to deal in a casino) and then drive down to Las Angeles where they will catch a plane for Minnesota and Uncle Larry. Of course Larry introduced us to Jeff and Peta in the first place. After spending Christmas with Larry and J, they will ride a train back west to begin their semester abroad. We are very jealous of the train trip. I think we will try that sometime.
It has been so great visiting with them. Glad we had a chance to see them again.
