Fall Break: Moab/Arches National Park (Day 1)

We loved our Staycation in August, but we were REALLY excited to get out of dodge for a few days on our first Vacation since the first of the year. Thank you, dear U of U, for scheduling a Fall Break! For October 10-12 we enjoyed a mini-trip down to Moab where we enjoyed the town as well as Arches National Park. It was my first time to the town of Moab (that I remember) and it is Becca's favorite place on earth. We couldn't wait!

Day 1:

Saying goodbye to Ellie

This is the TWO PAGE note that I left on instructions for taking care of the cat. Ridiculous!

Wind mills in Spanish Fork

Becca saw this cemetery off the side of the road in the canyon. We thought it looked kind of cool so we turned around on the canyon road and decided to check things out!

A very cool wooden bridge leading into the tiny cemetery on the hill.

This little birdhouse was sitting outside the chain link fence that surrounded the headstones in this beautiful place. The pink notebook is a guest book documenting tales of travels from people all over the west. Such a cool thing to read! A very fun moment of connecting to history--both very old and very new 'history'. We loved it. Nice eyes, Becca!

We stopped in Price at a local pub for food. The ale was delicious--a very summery raspberry wheat. The food wasn't great, but we walked away with a growler of the good stuff!

My attempt at looking like John Lennon... I was a little bit introxicated.
(And yes, that's how i said it...)

Made it to Moab! Stayed at the Ramada Inn on Moab's Main Street. We DO NOT recommend! When we got in to the first room they gave us we realized that we could sit on the toilet and eat a sandwhich on kitchen counter at the same time. Not conducive for my long legs!
