The last few days have been a whirlwind! We packed so much in. On Saturday, we saw Bryce Canyon (again, to get a better view -- it was rainy on Friday), then drove to Cedar Breaks National Monument where it was 22 degrees and snowing very hard. It was beautiful! We were only a few miles from where the King and I had our honeymoon, in a condo in Brian Head, Utah. We spent the night in Cedar City, Utah, as did the other family we were traveling with, who are coincidentally homeschoolers who live in Morristown, TN. After the obligatory stop at Starbucks, we hit Kolab Canyon and then drove on down to Zion National Park, which was amazing. We took the shuttle down a most scenic route, and really were just in awe of the scenery and setting. Oh, and it was 50 degrees warmer there than it had been in Cedar Breaks just the day before! After that, we hightailed it on down to Las Vegas and got some terrific Thai food in China town. (Weird, huh?) And then the red-eye home. Note to self: never take red-eye on el cheapo airlines again. The seats DO NOT RECLINE on Allegiant airplanes. Ugh. Fortunately, at least the baby slept like a dream the whole way and it was over in no time. We arrived at 6 a.m. And guess what we did that same night?? Yep, you guessed it. We took the boat out for a spin. Tim even got some barefooting in. Everyone should watch Tim waterski -- he's an artist. But I bet his feet are black with bruises today! And in case I forgot to mention it, under his patient tutelage, I, Queenofthehill, managed to get up on (two) skis the day before we left on our two week odyssey to Utah! I was so proud of myself. Took me back about 25 years. And that same day, you should have seen the King on the end-of-season bargain tube we purchased; his face morphed into that of a 10-year old! He grinned from ear to ear. |
