I miss my car.

GOING TO THE TEMPLE IN PROVO:

1. Get in car.
2. Drive one mile.
3. Park.

total time - 10 minutes


GOING TO THE TEMPLE IN WASHINGTON D.C. :

1. Walk to metro stop.
2. Wait for train. Board train. Transfer trains. Get off at Silver Springs, Maryland (time - 45 minutes)
3. Realize that I forgot the map/directions.
4. Enter McDonalds.
5. Call dad to get directions. Eat breakfast sandwich and diet coke.
6. Attempt to regain feeling in frozen toes and fingers (seriously folks, it was FREEZING today)
7. Exit McDonalds to wait at bus stop.
8. Realize that we aren't at the right bus stop.
9. Re-enter McDonalds and buy two baked apple pies.
10. See our bus drive by and rush out the door to try to catch it. Cross the wrong street and miss the bus.
11. Re-enter McDonalds and wait for next bus.
12. Try not to cry.
13. Finally board the correct bus. Exit bus at correct stop.
14. Walk down tiny, windy mountain road and avoid getting hit by oncoming traffic because there are no sidewalks and the shoulder of the road is pure ice.
15. Arrive at temple.

total time: 2 hours

It was worth it, but BOY do we have it good in Utah.

That sounds like so much fun and would be awesome to do again when we come to visit.
