Well they were on track break and my mother-in-law offered to take them for two and a half weeks! Maybe you are thinking, "I could never be without my kids for that long, and what a bad mother, and how could she let them go (or maybe you are not)" Well I will tell you, it was very easy! Since I am the only parent 24/7 for months at a time it was a very nice, very needed break! Anyway, as I drove into Cedar City I noticed gas was $1.77!

How could it be so much cheaper than here? Bear in mind that I took these pictures two weekends ago, and gas in Vegas was still over $2. I gladly filled up my tank and couldn't wait to fill up again on the way back to Vegas. It's stupid, but I've never paid so little to fill up my van!

Nevertheless I made it there and back on less than $100 for gas, which is unheard of for my van. The kids had a great time and I got so much done in my house! Every parent should be so lucky :)
