Moab, Utah

Brad and I went on a camping trip to Moab over Memorial Day weekend.  It was so much fun! I took a day off work, and then we got Memorial Day off so it was an extra long weekend, which was so very nice.  We drove there on Friday, went on a hike and then miraculously were able to get a camping site when everywhere was full.  We went the cheap route and didn't reserve one in advance because it is more expensive that way.  So when we saw one available, we grabbed it even though it was right by a main road.  We set up camp and then went on a bike ride.  Dinner that night was chicken kebabs and baked beans from a can.  The next morning we did a 10.5 mile bike ride through a slick rock trail.  The slick rock was much bumpier than I ever imagined it could be, and also difficult.  I got off and almost fell over many times.  But we conquered it so that was fun! Then we went off-roading, where I swear we almost died.  We were near the edge of a cliff and for awhile were stuck there.  But we are very creative and filled the holes our tires had dug in the dirt with rocks to get our car to crawl up the rocks we had just bounced down.  It was intense.  Then we went on a calm nature walk with a nice view, and had MRE's for dinner. It was excellent.  I will also add that during the drive we listened to Harry Potter 4 and I just know that deep down, Brad is in love with them.  It makes me SO happy!!!  We can't wait for the last movie to come out!  Yay!

  1. What a fun weekend. I regret that Scooter and I never went to Moab together before we moved from Utah. Good job for taking advantage of our GORGEOUS state! Your pics look amazing BTW.

  2. Now you be careful when you off-road. Maybe you should buy an inclinometer. By-the-way, aren't you glad that you have such a nice camera?
