Our friends had invited us to Lake Powell this last week, we were unable to go because of all the doctors appointments we have been having. It really made Ryan sad. We haven't been able to do much at all this summer it seems, so Thursday I got a text from Ryan saying we were going out of town this weekend. We were going to Zion's! I was all for it, we are lucky enough to own a house in St. George and so even though it feels like a vacation to us it is someplace our dogs and us are very comfortable in.
We drove up Friday, got everyone settled in and headed out to get some dinner and some custard from Neilsen's. We ran to target since Ryan forgot his shoes and went home and watched a movie.
Saturday morning we hiked The Narrow's at Zion's. Well not the whole thing it takes like 8 hours and we had dogs waiting at home. To get to the Narrow's you ride the shuttle up to the Riverwalk, then walk that about a mile to begin the Narrow's. The Narrow's consists of a steam you hike through about 60-70% water. It's not uphill so it's not hard per se, it's just walking in water and rocks for miles. I only fell once, but that's because anytime we were in the water I was holding Ryan's hand. :).
P.S. don't tell the park rangers we fed a squirrel a cheezit. It's a 100$ fine!
After the hike we stopped at this little place to have a sandwich and came home and crashed for a few hours before going over to our friends house for some pizza and good conversation.
It was a much needed get away for us. We have one more getaway planned to San Diego at the end of this month before Ryan starts PT school July 5th and we hopefully get pregnant in July too!
Glad you enjoyed your mini vacay! I love that you got a photo of the squirrel eating your cheez-it :) Anyways love the new colors of your blog. Keep posting because I love reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzy! We didn't see the no feeding the animals sign until after. Thank goodness no one saw :) He was loving it. He came right up to the backpack as Ryan was getting it out of the bag.
ReplyDeleteGlad you just posted. I know with working it makes it so you don't have much time but I enjoy reading your blog. I hope you had fun with Uncle B and Aunt Cara!
