MOAB

We decided to take a last minute trip to Moab for Memorial Day. We booked the trip on Tuesday and left Friday morning. Friday morning, Spencer had an appt for Botox injections. Ryan went with him to do that and Dillan and I went to do the grocery shopping. Spencer did fantastic, as always. After that we went and got the tire fixed (I picked up a nail somewhere) then we went to our friends to stay the night. Higbees are always great to let us stay with them. We really appreciate their friendship.

Saturday we got up and headed out and made our way to Price. There we went to the local museum, that has dinosaur tracks, fossils, displays and such. From there we went out to the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur quarry. It's very very small. A few hiking trails surround the quarry, but looking at the dig site and little visitor's center doesn't take long.

We stayed in Wellington for the night, which is about 10 min down the road from Price. There we went to the local 'hot spot,' which is a bar and dance hall. We had the biggest hamburgers ever. I had the bleu cheese, bacon burger. The bleu cheese was the absolute best dressing I have ever had.

Sunday we got up early for the 2 hour drive to Moab. We picked up our jeep at 8:30; 2 door red Rubicon. The rental place was takng a couple people do drive the Hells Revenge trail. So we decided to join them. Holy Cow, that is a big first timer's trail. Ryan drove the whole time and I rode in the back with Dillan. There were times we could only see the sky out of the windshield and times we were staring at the ground. After Hell's Revenge, we went over to a less aggressive trial called Fins & Things. It was still a lot of fun, at one point, I thought we were going to get stuck in some deep sand. I gassed through it and we made it!

Later that afternoon, we drove up to Arches National Park and saw all the gorgeous sites there. Such a beautiful place!

Sunday night we went to Pasta Jay's for dinner. Fantastic food, crappy service. If you have time and no or calm kids, definitey enjoy dinner there on the patio.

Monday we got up and went to Dead Horse Point on our way home. Another gorgeous place.

We had such a great time!!!!
