Wow!  We are doing good... a new post!!!

On Friday Greg played at Addicted Cafe.  Sid and I decided to go out on the town, it being Friday night, and went down to join in the festivities.  It was a lot of fun!  Greg had a great turn out and the wonderful baristas supplied Sid and myself with free drinks and bags of kettle chips throughout the night.  Greg of course sounded amazing and had good time playing.  We always love it when he plays the cafe's because it means the whole family can go and Sid gets a real kick out seeing Greg play.  He also makes a great roadie and feels pretty cool helping Greg load up the car after the show. 

We were planning on escaping to Moab for the weekend for a little family get away, however thanks to the wonderful winter-like weather we decided to post pone the trip.  But, we couldn't be content not going somewhere so Saturday afternoon we spontaneously opted to take a "Down's Roadtrip."  For the most part "Down's Roadtrips" consist of  choosing a destination full of possible photographic adventures, strange side roads and of course treats for the car.  Needless to say 5 camera's, 10 rolls of film, 2 laptops, 1 tripod, an assortment of cables, a small overnight bag, 1 child, 2 adults, an assortment of cd's and TREATS we found ourselves headed west on the good ol' I-80.  After only one strange side road photo journey, and a philosophical discourse on mirages in the desert we arrived at the Salt Flats.  It was Sid's first time to the flats and he thought it was pretty strange.  After running around and taking strange photographs we decided we might as well head onto Wendover, (why not?)  Needless to say we all agreed Wendover was stranger than the Salt Flats.  After exploring the old airforce base we decided we had most likely seen the best of Wendover and headed home.  It was an excellent Saturday adventure.  We got home just as the snow was really hitting and settled in for dinner around the fireplace.  

This week has been nice.  Thank goodness for Spring Break!!!  I've enjoyed getting some extra sleep, drawing castles with Sid, and working on projects I haven't had time for lately.  Sid's Spring Break started today.  He say's he's going to miss his friends, but he's really excited to get in some extra pokemon battles, going to see Grandma Tana and Grandpa Joel and of course the upcoming infamous Johnson Easter extravaganza!  My Grandpa is renowned for his overly challenging Easter egg hunt.  It usually involves scaling rooftops and climbed extremely tall pine trees.  Sid looks forward to it every year!

That's all for the Down's Posse.  Hope you all have a great Easter weekend!
