Summer Trip to Logan and Bear Lake

Between Summer Term and Fall Semester, Mary Ellen and I took the opportunity to get away for a couple of days and travel up to Logan and Bear Lake. It was after the public schools had started so we were pretty much alone at the normally crowded vacations spots. We stayed at the Anniversary Inn in Logan, in the Ice Cave room (I think the name is something else but that is what it reminded me of). Considering it was 90 outside, the room felt cool. We also attended a session at the Logan Temple (smaller than I was expecting), ate at two of the local Logan dives (American and Chinese, both pretty good), had a raspberry milkshake at Bear Lake, and enjoyed the drive up Logan and Sardine canyons.

The only problem was that we forgot our camera. That seems to be a theme for the summer, as I have rarely remembered it on any of our trips or family outings. I think that I may be a "impulsive camera shooter", as I seem to remember the camera only when I have a strong desire to take pictures, something that only happens every few weeks. I really enjoy taking pictures, but since I don't really like my picture taken, I project that on everyone else so I have a hard time taking other people's pictures too. But I know that pictures are what memories are made of. So I take them anyway...

So without a camera, I used the camera on my phone. Daylight pictures were a challenge to hold the camera steady enough. But I tried to take a picture at night. The first ones were really bad. The best is posted below along with other memory shots.
