April 23-26 Zion National Park

It was so nice to have friends take us on a guided tour of Zion.  Bob and Flo drove in from Vegas to show us around.

Love the water marks

The moon

Like the flag and the mountain 






Lots of steps

Love the contrast

Water at the Narrows




My dad said we needed to check out the coral pink sand dunes.
It was worth the side trip.




We have one more day in Bryce Canyon then we are off to Capital Reef and then Moab.

April 14-22, 2015 Salt Lake City

The weather report said 70 degrees in Salt Lake City.  My dad called and said "watch out for the wind".  What a day. We had 70 mile per hour winds coming over not 70 degree temps.  Oh and SNOW!!



Yep that's ice on the front of the rig.  It was a first.  This was a spring snow for Salt Lake City that lasted 24 hours.  The last one was 10 years ago.

These pictures were taken around Temple Square, home of the Latter Day Saints.  We spent a couple of days at the Family Ancestry Center and learned so much.

 





This is a picture of our traveling companion Flat Stanley.
He is traveling with us at the request of our
great-nephew Camden.
These pictures are at Antelope Island.  This is where we seen 
the great salt lake. 



 This guy came up for a scratch.  Made my day.




We also thought we would check out the Hill Air Museum.

















We are on our way to Zion but we
wont be going through the tunnel.
