Weekend Trip to Grand Junction, Colorado and Moab, Utah

My husband told me there wasn't much going on in Grand Junction, CO.  He went to Mesa State University and spoke so fondly of his friends who lived there, so I assumed that one day we would visit. So, for his birthday we went to Grand Junction, CO to visit friends. 

This past weekend was great aside from getting sick together.  Las Vegas has already gone through its bloom season, but it seems in Grand Junction, Colorado and Moab, Utah it just started.  I blame it on the numerous Cottonwood trees that were everywhere.

Here's a some pics of our visit.
Me, Kelly and Eli!

I believe this is delicate arch, which as a beginner hiker I could not hike up the slope.

Can you see the delicate arch in the background?

Joy!

A terrific fin

Balancing rock

I think this is the double arch.


Byron took this picture of the lizard at the Colorado National Monument.

And another picture

I think I was in mid-sentence here. 

Experimenting with the camera background defocus feature

Tree, I think it's a Utah Juniper.

A New Blog

My husband and I set out for a new adventure.  Recently, I've been obsessed with hiking.  I think it's because of our frequent visits to REI.

We are very excited about traveling this summer.  We're selling everything and then heading out on a wonderful road trip up the west coast then flying to Alaska!

Pray for us.
