We went for a little weekend adventure into the Southwest mountains in the great state of Utah. Traveling back and forth to California with my dad while I was young and almost every weekend while I lived in Vegas made me think I had seen the whole state. Let me say, this is not true.
This weekend our adventure took us to Escalante and Capitol Reef and I am converted. I have always liked Southern Utah but after a while one red rock looks like another. Red. Bad attitude? Yes, but so is my reality. This was a great mix of good people (Chris and Saphu our only other "couples" friends we see frequently),
cool weather and fall colors. Gorgeous! The self-timing pictures didn't turn out so well but you get the idea of how happy and refreshed we are in the great outdoors. The hiking was enough to get you short of breath at times without being challenging and the weather was ideal.
On top of all of that, I got to drive my race car like a race car on the winding back roads through the mountains at high speeds. Don't do this with kids in the car, it will make grown men scream.
I love that Elliott is a true adventurer and he is up for anything. I also love that he will drag me along with my sore knees and fat butt so we can do it together. Good times.
