Mini-Vacation #1: Turns out they're fun!

The powers that be in the Miller family decided that there would be no official vacation this year, but that didn't stop yours truly from taking two short ones!

First was a trip to Park City to watch my amazing starlet sister Sarah perform in a harp camp concert. For the first time ever, I was the sole driver, and was prepared for the boredom of a long car trip with plenty of Odysseys, but the highway turned out to be quite exciting enough. Fortunately, Hannah responded well to my tense attitude and barked orders for her to repeat (up to 25 times) the next step in our journey as thoughtfully outlined by Google Maps.

We had a great deal of fun at our hotel, swimming and watching "Little House on the Prairie" as we ate our Sub sandwiches, then more swimming and watching of movies and staying up until 1 am reading when we were unable to sleep due to the hardness of the bed and pillows... wait, how did that get in there?

The highlight of our visit was of course, seeing this lovely person:

Look how shocked she is to see us for the first time! Ok, so maybe she's playing it cool. I tried to upload the video we made of her performance, but my computer was overwhelmed (by the sheer awesomeness, I imagine) and crashed after a couple of hours of *loading*, so...no video.

Sarah's competition in the harp-off. Whoa, it was a performance you say? Aw, and here I thought the whole time they were competing for that fancy harp. Sarah totally won, by the way, in the completely unbiased opinion of

the judges.

It's all about the people you spend them with.

I'm glad y'all enjoyed yourselves! Tell Sarah we expect to hear a performance come Christmas.
