Utah Trip Part Three

Our next stop was Moab, Utah. We arrived in time to drive around Arches National Park and see some of the sites before it got dark.

The Colorado River was overflowing.

We were lucky enough to go on a hummer tour over the rocks. It was a little scary at first...but it really was fun. We went up (even backwards) 60+ degree inclines.

We stopped once and we saw some dinosaur prints.

  

After the hummer tour, we went on a few hikes to see some arches.

Delicate Arch

Navajo Arch

Landscape Arch

We saw so many beautiful landscapes there, I can't show them all. We had such a fun time hiking, seeing the sites, and eating at restaurants.

I have one more Utah trip post to do. So stay tuned :)

Utah Trip Part Two

After leaving Devanie's, we headed south to the little town of Manti. The Manti temple was the 5th LDS temple to be built and it was finished in 1888. It also is home to two floating staircases that are located in the two towers. It really is a beautiful place and I'm so glad we stopped for a visit.

It was a gorgeous day! After visiting we headed off to our next desitination.

We saw a lot of this on the way....

Happy Birthday!!

We interupt our vacation series to wish Ronnie a Happy Birthday!!

He's a fun guy...the proof is in the pictures ;)

Happy Birthday to you!! Wishing you many more years of fun!

Utah Trip Part One

We're back from our summer vacation to Utah. It was so nice to get away from work and all the things going on. It was about a 5 hour flight. My brother picked Ronnie and I up from the airport and we stayed the night with them. The next morning we decided to hike the Y, which is up on the side of the mountain. We really are not used to the altitude there so it was a little tough but we made it!

I wasn't really lagging this far behind...I just stopped to take a picture :)

Looking over the valley and Utah lake.

We also stopped at the Provo Temple. Don't know much about LDS temples....check out this LINK.

After hanging out with Cory and Chelsea for a bit we headed down to Mapleton to stay with my friend Devanie. We had a good time with her and her husband.

Stay tuned for more updates on our summer vacation... :) We're headed south!

A Beautiful Memorial Day

On Memorial Day, Ronnie and I went to Sandbridge Beach. The weather was perfect, the water was clear and the waves were good.

Here is Ronnie playing in the waves.

I dipped my feet in too but the water is still a bit chilly for me.

Ronnie is running back to me :)

Last year we only went to the beach once...on our anniversary. Lame. This year we are trying to go more. We live so close, it seems silly not to go!! I'm happy to say that we also went today. 3 times in just over a week....thats more like it! :)

Back Bay

Over Memorial Day weekend we decided to go to Back Bay Wild Life Refuge. It is a beautiful area and pretty close to us...about 30 minutes.

 We were pretty much the only ones there. It was very peaceful.

This time we stayed on the beach pretty much the whole time.

We're hoping to go again and go on some of the trails.

100 / 2 = 50

This is our 100th post! Only took about 3 years! My dad turned 50 this week (on May 31st). We took him out to dinner at a Japenese steak house.

The pictures aren't that great but we had a good time.

Happy 50th dad!!
