Moab trip

ahhh..Moab. It had been along time. Our friends Duane and FreLynn purchased a jeep just in time for our trip. ( we had planned it several weeks in advance with the intentions of only doing hikes. Thanks to the purchase of this jeep we didn't have to do any...well except for all the walking that FreLynn and I did from being too scared on some of the hills and rocks on the trails ).

We stayed in a little "tent only" campground. It was quaint. There was a nice bathroom with showers and yes...electricity for my flat iron ( can't leave home without it!! ) It was nice and cozy, just Jason and I in our little tent :)

Our first trail was "Poison Spider" I have been on this trail before. I don't remember it being so bumpy. My seat belt sure kept me in tightly, maybe a little too tightly. At one point I took it off due to the fact that I was losing air and honestly I would love a flat bell but not that way! Of course as soon as I took it off we went over a nice boulder as you would call it and I hit my head on the bar above me. Lots of bumps!!

We couldn't of asked for better weather. I put on plenty of sun block except for one little tiny spot above my knee. Nice and red!

The pictures below~ This is when I wish I had one of those super dooper fancy cameras so I could zoom in. FreLynn and I stayed back at the lookout while these two, who by the way have no fear of anything walked over and on to this arch. These pictures don't justify the height. If you look closely you can see a parking lot threw the center. The drop off on the other side was probably a good 300 feet..straight to death, but hey who needs to worry about that when you have balls of steel?After our first trail I was feeling like I was getting too much sun so we stopped off at the local True Value store for some hat shopping. The guys are such great models.

Don't you just love the granny hat that I chose!!? ( don't mind the HUGE zit on my face!! )

The second trail we took was called "Hell's Revenge" and boy did it feel like I was going straight there. It was mostly slick rock but lot's of steep hills up and down. We told the boys that they should of warned us but all they said before is "Oh you'll love it!" YA RIGHT!! This is where we did most of our walking. I felt the burn in more ways then one!
It did take us to this beautiful look out. It was nice to sit for a while to rest. Considering we were going to have to start walking again.

We ended the day with awesome Mexican food and a hot shower!!

It was a short little get away. I don't get too many too often with my Man.

On our way home we went to Dead Horse Point. It's another wonderful State Park here in beautiful Utah. The view was amazing and again my camera just doesn't justify the beauty that I saw with my own eyes. If you ever have the chance to go it is awesome!

I can't wait to go again..although it will have to wait until September I think. It will be too hot to go so soon. Next time we are going to take the kids and maybe do the hikes :)

Farewell Moab..Until we meet again.
