Sunday Drive

So it was a gorgeous day, Amelia had a super nap, and Mark and I were both home on a Sunday at the same time! We decided to hop in the car with my Mom and just start driving. Those who know me well know that this kind of drive is my most favorite activity. Sunroof, sunshine, music, and the open road! We headed South not having a particular plan and ended up having a perfect Sunday drive. We headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon where the views of the river were awesome. There is something about watching the flow of water rush by that is so calming for me. The steep mountains were so lush and green and just so serene. The road led us up and across Guardsmans Pass. We felt like we were driving on top of the world - which is such a cliche' but I don't know how else to describe it. That feeling also created quite a panic with my Mom so I had to be sure to drive nice and slow, but that made it even more breathtaking. We continued down through Deer Valley, ending up in Park City to walk around Main street for a while. It was perfect in every way and just what we all needed! I couldn't help but think of the lyrics to my favorite hymn while trying to write this post to describe how I felt. "When through the woods and forest glades I wander, and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees, when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze, then sings my soul, my Savior God to thee, how great thou art!" Perfect Sunday drive.
