Days 1 and 2

I have been so busy I forgot to tell you all about yesterday. So tonight I will fill you in on the adventures of the last two days.


Yesterday we visited Arches National Park. We hiked and drove until we were exahasted. This little corner of the world is simply amazing. We saw arches galore. Played in the sand between fins. Hiked in huge canyons. And much, much more.

Today we took a drive south of Moab. We knew we wanted to go towards Blanding, Utah but had no plans from there. We ended up driving some 300 miles, and for lack of better words, were simply amazed. We saw three different sets of ruins, from three different Native American tribes. We saw more arches. We visited Natural Bridges Monument. We hiked and drove. The best was when we dropped off a 1100 foot Mesa. They carved the road into the side of the Mesa. It was so steep, but the view was incredible. When we made it to the bottom and looked back we couldn't even see the road. So crazy steep and so amazingly gorgeous.

Today I am thankful for my new video camera. I can't wait to share the drive down the Mesa.
