Fall Break!

Landon's mom had a free two night stay at the Ramada Inn in Moab and since Jim is gone she decided she wasn't going to use it. Landon and I were the lucky ones who got to, Thanks Candace for the practically free vacation. The trip was quick, but lots of fun. Our hotel was really close to everything and almost the perfect place to stay except that it had two double beds. Landon thought for sure we'd have to sleep in separate beds to have enough room, but to his surprise we survived alright.


Tuesday morning we headed to Arches National Park. I had never been there before and was surprised how big the Delicate Arch and the Windows are. Landon really wanted to find a trail that we could go Jeeping on. Tuesday night we ventured around to see what we could find and also went to Hole In The Rock. During all this driving I decided I'd start reading the book I needed to finish in a week. Between driving to all the National and State Parks plus going Jeeping for 3 hours on Wed. I finished my book. That is by far the fastest I've ever read an entire book.
My favorite part of the vacation was a break from school, warm weather, hiking and sleeping until 9.
Landon's favorite part of the vacation was going jee
ping. This trumped everything for him. He found 2 perfect trails for us to go on and even made me get out of the Jeep to take pictures. This picture doesn't quite capture the great time we really had, but it was a fun little getaway .
