After a couple hard days, it was nice to sleep in a little bit – until 10am anyways. Not a particularly busy day really, I spent quite a bit of the day working on processing photos from Arches National Park (I’m actually almost done…). Around 3:30pm, I realized that the Hill AFB Aerospace Museum closed at 4:30, so if my dad and I were going to make it, we had to head there ASAP. We ended up with about half an hour to poke around, and we’ll probably be heading back for some more photos on Monday when we get back from Zion and Bryce.
In the evening, we headed to The Bayou, a cajun restaurant with an absolutely amazing beverage selection. Their beverage menu had over 250 different options on it in fact. We wrapped up our evening by heading to Keys on Main, a piano bar. It was my first time in a piano bar, and I will say that it was nice. The singing wasn’t that great and the “dueling” was non-existent, but it was still fun.
Well, the evening was fun until we got on I-15N from Salt Lake back to Hill AFB. Then we set in a traffic jam for an hour and a half as the road was closed from 10:30pm-6am daily. So, the great state of Utah, instead of simply closing off one or two of the lanes at a time, closes the entire road. At one point we timed it, and covered 3/10 of a mile in half an hour. Just another reason to wonder what the people running this state are thinking.
