Inversion City, Utah

The air quality in slc was so bad today that they issued health advisories. That meant another day on the trainer for me and running around the short track at the gym for katie.

I was a little worried about the 4 of us crammed into a hotel room together, but nobody seemed to mind


Zack and I at the kids table. At what age do we become adults?
