In December of 1965 we went on a family vacation to see my Dad's relatives; our Aunt Anna, Uncle Stanley and their children Clark and Leann in Ontario California.
My parents took turns driving straight through to Utah. My other baby brother napped on a blanket in the floor boards of the front seat, my baby brother and I slept in the back seat.
I recall be impressed with Salt Lake City and the Provo Utah area where we stayed in a Motel...the first Motel I had ever stayed in. Our Mom had packed food to eat along the way...we did not eat in restaurants. At the California border we sat at some picnic tables and ate what fruit we had because it was not allowed into California.
Leann, Carey ( my baby brother), Jody ( my other baby brother), Clark and me
We had lutefisk at Sylvia and Gusty home ( Uncle Stanley's parents), luckily there was also roast pork, potatoes and gravy!
We went to a Candlelight Church Service on Christmas Eve. The day after Christmas we went to Disneyland. After we left California we headed toward Houston Texas and stopped at Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico and someplace that had reptile gardens (I was scared nearly to death).
Leann and Aunt Anna.
It was a good trip, the only family vacation that I can recall.
