Walt Tours 2014

Grandpa Woodbury does an annual trip usually involving his sons called "Waltours." This year it turned into a little Woodbury reunion.  It took place in St George, home of Grandpa until he was four. We went down in mid-October and the weather was perfect.

Instead of heading to Zion National Park (it was extremely busy) we went to the ghost town of Grafton.  T's great grandmother taught school there back when it was a community.  It is a fun little picturesque place and home to a few movies including "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid."  There was also an interesting cemetery where the tombstones described their deaths for example: being killed by Indians.

That night we all got to go to the Children's Museum.  As a treat Grandpa rented out the place so the kids had a ball with the place to themselves.  It was fun for all and relaxing knowing it was only family around so the kids could wander off and play until theirs hearts were content.

The next day we toured Brigham Young's winter house followed by a walking tour lead by Grandpa. We saw the house he lived in as a boy and his grandmother's house.  We also stopped at Judd's general store full of old time sweets and original decor.  We then headed over to the center of town for a picnic and playing in water.  Later in the afternoon we enjoyed a walk in Snow Canyon.  It was lovely.  We then ate dinner all together at a local restaurant.  It was a great time catching up with family. We were glad we could go.
