Our Family - Trip to Dallas

 In May 1990 I was put in charge of starting up and staffing Computerized Forwarding System (CFS) operations in the Provo Post Office. This necessitated two weeks of training in Dallas TX in June. So, we rented a minivan, none of our vehicles being sufficiently sound or suitable for such an excursion, and took the whole family. The trip was challenging, but fun and memorable. We visited a nice mall and had a fun dinner with my CFS instructor at a western restaurant. August and September of 1990 were challenging at work, as I got CFS operations going.


While the kids and I packed, Garrett redid the floor in the kitchen, hall, up bath.  We enjoyed visiting Carlsbad Caverns and Mesa Verde. The kids also loved the long slide at the steak house and visiting a fun mall which had holographic photos. They loved all the room in the rented minivan. At the hotel they spent most of the afternoons in the indoor pool. During the mornings, we cleaned our one room (girls in one double bed, Garrett and I in another, and the boys on the floor). Dan was our “agitator”, because he stomped our clothes in the bathtub, then we hung our things in the bathroom to dry. We went out with Garrett in the evenings. It was a fun trip!
