Moab, UT
We just got back into the Bay Area a few days ago and we are missing our Moab already! Especially more so since the weather here is rainy every other day, whereas in Moab it was blue skies and warm warm sun on your skin almost every day. Truly lovely! Andrew’s dream day in Moab was out on a dirtbike riding through the canyons and over the slickrock… my dream was walking into a wide open red dirt landscape, feeling the hot sun on my skin and hearing absolutely nothing. Needless to say, we all had a wonderful time in Moab. Ingrid really enjoyed climbing up the rocks and playing paper airplanes with Uncle Eric, who we picked up in Salt Lake City on our way into Moab. I’m glad Andrew had someone to do the challenging stuff with, as it took the pressure off of me. I did venture out on my dirtbike once, but didn’t really enjoy it all that much. The only part I liked was when I got off my bike and climbed onto the back of Andrew’s :) That’s when I could relax and really enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The pets had a fun time as well. Ginger and Otto got to run free, after we made sure they wouldn’t run off. This time they had some sense of where they were, since we took them walking to the open space adjacent to the campground. We also waited a few days until they were less excited about the rabbits. And we didn’t let them off until we’d been out on the rocks for a good fifteen minutes. Even then we had the ball to keep Ginger near, and Otto is never really a concern, he’s such a mama’s boy that he always comes back. As for Pluto, he followed us out to the rocks a few times and played in the crevices and climbed all over the rocks, following Ingrid most of the time. On the way home he panted like a real lion and swished his tail in happiness.
We did a few hikes together, and they were all awesome. One of them was a hidden canyon that we drove out to in Vanny. This was a little nerve wracking for me, but lots of fun for everyone else, Ingrid included. The canyon was beautiful, and there were many shapes to see in the rocks. Check out the pictures, it’s easier than me trying to describe them.
