On our way out of Calgary, Alberta, Canada

We left Calgary, Alberta, Canada at about 6:50am on Monday, January 7th with our speedometer reading 175055 and drove like maniacs. We drove Highway 2 all the way to Montana. Once in Montana, USA the highway turned into Interstate 15. We stopped in a few places for gas such as: Milk River, Alberta; Boulder and Dillon Montana, and Malad City, Idaho. That first day we drove through part of Alberta, the states: Montana, Idaho and partway through Utah. The drive overall was quite boring as it was very flat and uneventful. At times, I actually felt like falling asleep at the wheel. The most exciting part was at the Monida Pass as it started snowing and the highway was down to one-lane traffic. There were a few cars in the ditch so we drove cautiously for a while.We stopped at about 12am because we were getting very tired from driving and we ended up staying in Lehi, Utah for the night, at The Days Inn-Lehi ( http://www.daysinn.com/DaysInn/control/Booking/check_avail?p ropertyId=10979 ) The room was nothing special but it included a continental breakfast and the service was not bad. However they were located near a construction site or it seemed to be in the Industrial part of the city and was quite noisy at times.
