Arizona Day 1

On the road again...

We'd only been home from Escalante for three days when it was time to pack for our Spring Break vacation to Grand Canyon. This was set to be a big one, too, because we'd be gone for 9 days. Unfortunately, the week was so busy that Dad didn't really have any time to help Mom pack, so she had to do everything on her own. Then, just as she was finishing Mark's laundry, she noticed that everything was blue! Someone had left a blue crayon in his clothes. It was a last minute nightmare. She was able to get most of the blue out, but it put us back on our leaving time.

The plan was to leave at 4 o'clock as soon as Dad got home from school. We'd drive out to Price where we'd pick up dinner at Wendy's to eat in the car. Then we'd keep right on driving down through Moab and Blanding to some cute little cabins in Bluff. If we were lucky, we'd be there by 9 o'clock. With the crayon incident and a stop for gas, we rolled in at about 9:30.

We spotted a Golden Eagle eating a deer carcass on the side of the road. It was amazing!

The cabins were really cool, but we weren't there long enough to enjoy them. It would have been great to play around and spend some time, but as it was we got a few minutes to look at the stars, which were beautiful in Bluff and go to bed. But at least we got five hours of driving out of the way.

The boys enjoyed breakfast at the bar in the cabin.

Dax was so excited for this raspberry sparkling water until he tasted it and almost died.
