Road Tripping

In the fall we like to go on at least one drive to see
 the beautiful fall leaves. 
 This year we decided to 
 
 check out the Nebo Loop.
 And while we were probably a bit late
 it was really beautiful. 
Also as a family we are trying to visit all the temple in Utah.
So we took a little road trip to Monticello.
And since we were driving South - why not have a little 
Cubby's on the way.
Some people might watch too many horror movies
because they thought our motel looked like
 The next morning caught the early session
 in Monticello.
 Incidentally it was the first of the small temples built.
 Then we headed for Arches!
 I used to visit Arches a lot when I was young
but had never shared it with the kids!
And let me tell you - it left them jumping for joy!!!
 
 Park Avenue
 Rare entire family picture. 
 
 It was just all so beautiful! And it was perfect weather.
 North Window
 Turret Arch
 Parade of Elephants
North and South Windows
 But the pièce de résistance, of course, was
 Delicate Arch.
 Let's just say I am 30 years older than I was
the last time I took this hike and it got harder.
 But it was well worth it.
 
It is as magnificent as I remember.
 
 I have the cutest little family!
 We stayed in Moab that night and on the way home
 we had to visit Dead Horse Point.
Where Mark posed for the same picture twice!

All I can say is that we are lucky to live in such a beautiful state!

Visiting Canyonlands is now on our to do list!
