Okay, so last weekend I headed off into southern Utah.... roadtrip!!! I loved road trips. No telling what adventures you will have. We (five girls and all fabulous by the way) started our trek about 4pm. For reference before I start into my story, typically a trip to Moab from Salt Lake is about 31/2 to 4 hours long. We literally just meandered our way down to Moab. How long did our trip take you ask? Well, we weren't thinking in terms of time or distance until we saw a sign that said "Moab 178 miles." What? You have got to be kidding me! We had already been in the car for three hours. How was that possible? Were we lost? Nope. Could it possibly have been the bakery stop for deliciousness? The horrible traffic? Or the fact that we just could not get everyone on the same bathroom break schedule? Don't you worry. Our time was well spent.... constant talking. Yep, we chatted that whole time! My time in Moab was spent hiking. Loved it! Delicate Arch is beautiful. Amazing. I did get a picture of the arch with no one by it... a very short window of time for that to happen on a Saturday afternoon. But I opted to put this picture in to give a better idea of the scale of the arch. Amazing. Next picture up, this cute little pile of rocks actually has a name, but it has escaped me. So, cute little pile of rocks is it. These were all along the way to designate the trail. Loved them! Oh last but not least....A shout out to President Obama. We went to pay our entrance fee to Arches National Park and the attendant told us to put our money away. National parks were free all weekend thanks to our President. Saved me $10. Wahoo!
