The Rest of Vacation

So when I left off on the last blog, we were leaving Sedona. Our next stop was Lake Powell. We decided to camp here to try and save some money, however, after $23 for the campsite, $60 for the space heater, and about $20 in extra warm clothing, I'm pretty sure we would have been better off in a hotel. Todd didn't sleep well at all because I think he kept rolling downhill on top of me (get your mind out of the gutter), but I slept just fine.

The next morning we packed up camp and headed out for the slot canyons. They were pretty incredible. It's really hard to explain how magnificent they are. You just have to go see them for yourself. The hike was about 3 miles round trip, so that wasn't bad, but the annoying part was that the hike was through a stream/creek bed. I have to say though, it was worth the agony and annoyance of walking through that creek bed.

After the slot canyons, Todd and I were worn out, so we headed for Panguitch, UT. It's a little town outside of Bryce Canyon. We found a cheap hotel (cheaper than the space heater-cough, cough), ate dinner and hit the sack.

The next morning we headed out for Bryce Canyon. It was cold, there was snow on the ground, but it was incredible and totally worth going to see.

Us at Inspiration Point.

Yep, there was about a foot of snow to hike in.

This was going to be where we stayed. We decided on a hotel...ya think!

After a long and wonderful day of hiking, Todd and I headed back to the hotel to get a good nights sleep.

The forecast was calling for snow, so we boogied out of Panguitch pretty early and drove, and drove, and drove, and drove. We made it to Fallon, NV.

The weather was brewing.

Pretty cool clouds and mountains.

And the sun sets on our vacation.

We pulled in to our driveway on Sunday about 1 PM. We were exhausted, but so happy we had the opportunity to share time together. It was a great trip, and we can't wait to take the kids with us next time.
