every time i have driven to utah from arizona i have passed so many places that i say, "that would be fun to stop sometime..."
so i decided to have a fun "road trip" on our way to utah this summer... we got an early start on the morning and took off... my brothers, jones and i in my car and my parents in their car... we had so much fun and stopped a few times for what i planned for us to see... it was a most memorable travel to utah!
first... i always want to stop and admire the beautiful turquoise... who doesnt love turquoise! it is one of my favorite colors!
too bad they were all a little too expensive and out of my price range!
next stop... the dam...
i have never stopped here... driven over it i dont know how many times... but never stopped... someday i will stop again for the tour... unfortunately we missed the tour while there but had fun anyway...
jones loved the bridge... he kept saying "whoa"
and then my 'tree hugger' had to show off and get some energy out while running around just outside of the visitors center
'rest stop'
dont laugh too hard...
i couldnt resist...
i didnt even know that they had some dino tracks for us to look at... but lucky for us jones was wearing his dino shirt and loved seeing the dino tracks!
then... on the road again...
i love the mountains that are all around while driving... they are so diverse and so beautiful...
next we stopped at the moqui caves...
just outside of kanab...
they are amazing and i loved that the temp inside... never more than 70... i loved hearing the history of the caves and about the people who own them... you will have to stop by to learn about it yourself... all i will say... is that they used to have live concerts inside because the acoustics were perfect... and i wish they still did that... that would be an amazing place to see a live concert!
of course jones couldnt miss or stop playing with the rocks in the moqui caves...
then once again surprised with some dino tracks...
once again dont laugh... two things... i know how weird my thumb looks... and i know its weird that i like this gas logo... but i love the sinclair logo... it is so classic! just had to get a picture
next we had to turn around when i saw this photo opp....
brandon... alex
then me... i loved the 'you are here' part...
unfortunately our last stop was closed because of all the recent rain... their could be flash flooding and danger... so we just took a picture by the sign...
'the grand staircase'
finally... we arrived to the cabin... to say hello to my beautiful grandma... we were lucky to arrive on her birthday and spent the evening with her and family!
that about sums up our road trip to utah... there was so much more... pictures and moments... but i will leave it at that for now... we had so much fun and really enjoyed all our stops and memory making!

As Strawberry Shortcake says, "Getting there is half the fun!" Are you embarrassed for me that I just wrote that? Been hearing way too much SS lately. But really, I like that you planned out all those stops!
