and decided to go to Moab the weekend after. Kelly had never been there, so we were excited!Friday night we went and saw Hunger Games in theaters, it was really fun and we enjoyed the movie having read all the books.
We got up early on Saturday and headed out. We decided to drive through Ephraim and do a little "awwww"ing at the place we first met. I am glad we did because the canyon up that way to get to Moab was gorgeous!
We went to Goblin first, we had a blast, we were like two kids on a playground; climbing on rocks and then shouting "look at me!" We hiked up some places that were slightly difficult to get up and VERY difficult to get down, but it was so much fun there. And the weather was the perfect temperature. After a few hours of hiking we headed to Moab. In our minds, Moab was a great city we could not wait to see, so we giggled a bit as we drove through the hippy lil town. We got some food and checked into our hotel.
The next day we got up early again and went to Arches National Park. I had forgotten how big the park was. We were really humbled by the beauty we saw, so breathtaking! We some of the short trails and then of course the Delicate Arch. Its cool to meet people hiking there, from all parts of the world, which made us laugh that it was Kelly's first time there. The weather was beautiful and we stayed up there for quite a while.
We got in the car and decided to drive to Grand Junction, CO. Kelly will be looking for jobs in a year from now, and we are trying to get as many options in the four corners area as we can that we would like to live as jobs in Utah fill up quickly. We liked the city and the valley there, and we stopped and ate some lunch. We drove home Price way this time, I read "The Maze Runner" aloud to Kelly for entertainment (very good book by the way). As we approached the opening coming to the Provo area, I scream in horror, then we laughed when we saw what I was scared by. Those windmills! At first I could only see a part of them slicing around the mountain, and I had no idea they were there. haha. They looked pretty cool as we drove by them though. Kelly thought it funny to sing "I am Lord Don Quixote the man from La Mancha" and those of you who know the story can see the humor in this.
We got home happy to see our little Moose, and it was so good of Bud to take care of him for us!
VERY FUN WEEKEND! And we cannot wait to go back!
