Vernal with the Aunties

The week before the wedding, on Tuesday 16 July, we headed east to Vernal to visit Auntie Katy. After lunch at Freddie's, Katy took us to Dinosaur National Monument, which I hadn't visited for years. The dinosaur bits were fun and interesting, but the park, which extends into Colorado, is beautiful. That evening, Katy, served us a delicious butter-chicken dinner. It was a delightful day.

We had a great visit

The rehearsal dinner and wedding are next, but this is all for now.
