Moab

We took a trip to Moab recently. It was so great. We rented a little 'log cabin' from a place just outside Arches National Park. http://moabvalleyrv.com/ The kids LOVED the whole adventure & slept most of the 3.5 hour drive down (and back). Abby got really car sick 5 minutes from our final destination. She has a reputation for doing this.

We squeezed a lot into a short trip; a car tour of the whole park, hiking, picnic lunch & dinner, swimming at our "resort", offroading, driving through hail & 37 degree weather (it had been 77 the day before), meeting new friends from all over the world on the trail, sandcastle building, hot tubbing, carrying tired kids, and TONS of beautiful rock arches & scenery. Oh, and lots of red sand in the car and even in our teeth.



















































































To Arches National Park in southern Utah: We will miss you!

Jess, I love these pics! Nice job, and thanks for sharing. (I guess I could just look at them off the camera, though, huh?) Good thing you blog. :)

These are the just the beginnings of great memories you will have! Wish we were there! Now - make the kids create an illustrated scrapbook - you know you loved doing that!

Stacy! We're moving this week, actually. If I were part of the moving committee I'd suggest we head through Denver! Alas, I'll head out tomorrow to work on Monday, so won't get to road trip with everyone. Two of my brothers will help Jess bring the kids out.
