The CoolComforts Visit Utah
My dad updated his blog with posts chronicling my parents' recent visit to Utah. Head over to the CoolComfort's Travel Journal to follow along with their vacation, and be sure to click on all the links to check out his (and mom's!) beautiful photos! On a related note: Utah, you're no Bay Area...but you're sure a beautiful state, I'll give you that.
