What's wrong with this picture?

Well, a couple things, actually. First there is no Yukon in the picture, and second, the trailer is not in Yellowstone. Bummer! We started having a transmission warning light so we took it in to the shop and it is getting a whole new transmission!
Now, let's look at what is right with this picture. We are just outside Salt Lake City, not the middle of the Navajo reservation without cell service. There were two transmission fixer-places a block apart (we got a second opinion!). They are going to be done with it in the morning, so just that they are open on Saturday is huge! Half a mile away from the repair shop is Camping World, and we are camping just a half a block from that! There are also a slew of restaurants and stores nearby. The park we are in has a pool and playground, so the kids had a great day. David finally had the time to do some maintenance, like flushing the water tank and replacing the leaky faucet, without feeling like he was wasting vacation time that we were supposed to be exploring with. I was able to clean and organize a bit more and make a nice dinner. We missed our first night in Yellowstone, but confirmed the next two nights and were able to add another night in another campground there. It won't have hook-ups, but that won't be a problem at all. We really are counting our blessings tonight!
We are relaxing for a minute now, the kids are fighting on the other end of the trailer ( Luke is trying to "hug" Vivy- likely more of a wrestle!) and when this is done, I have promised them another round at the playground. Then, I am hoping for some Farkle and dessert: pretzels with Philadelphia white chocolate dip. Mmmmm.
