Road Trippin'

I went on vacation! I got away...out of town...with my husband!

It was a quick road trip, but a trip none the less. It's not often I get to go on vacation with my husband. Thank you to our good friends, D & D, for taking care of our hooved, pawed, and winged family members while we were gone. All the animals, large and small, were happy and healthy when we returned.

We left last Thursday morning and stopped at one of my favorite breakfast spots in Georgetown, Colorado.

Tee Hee Hee.
I wish they sold T-shirts at this place.

We drove over the mountains and into Utah. It's June and what did we find in the Colorado mountains?

That's right. Snow!

Fortunately it warmed up as we left Colorado.

We visited Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. I'd never been there before.

It was spectacular.

The park is full of huge rock formations and over 2,000 natural sandstone arches.

The epitome of the rugged, wild west of the United States.

My favorite rock formation called "The Three Gossips".

Utah's famous "Delicate Arch".

Yes, I wanted to bring it home with me. But my husband has decreed a "2 for 1" order in our household. He says if I bring 1 more critter home, I have to get rid of 2!

I would love to return and see the area from horseback.

If you are ever in Southern Utah, be sure to visit Arches National Park. It's incredible!
