[moab]

I went to Moab this weekend... it was such a nice little get away. It amazing to me that in a four hour drive, the scenery can change so dramatically. Best of all, its warm, and hardly ever snows. Thats almost enough to entice me to move there! :)

I went through Arches National Park today. It was incredible. It had been about six years since I'd been there... I had hiked Delicate Arch then. I thought I couldnt make it. (let it be known that the park map says its a 'strenuous hike') Just as I thought I'd just hang back, my 76 year old grandma passed me on the trail... There was no way she was going to beat me up the trail. ;) And it was worth it. This time, I had 2 kiddos in tow. It was fun to share the beauty of Moab with them.

Some highlights:
-Eating way too many smores/burgers/fries/pizza...
-seeing shooting stars/milky way
-finding a vintage apron pattern book
-and the best of all... not ONE 'are we there yet?'
