Took a quick weekend trip to Moab with a couple of friends. It am seriously in love with red rock and blue skies! Although it was quite hot - Moab isn't necessarily the middle-of-summer-vacation-spot of choice - we had a great time relaxing and just enjoying the free time.
One of our spontaneous activities included making music at this awesome park! Why don't we have these at home? Those bridge looking things are xylophones. There were drums, bells, chimes of all sizes, and tons of xylophones all over.
We met this odd gentleman who built his own bike - with two (maybe three) bikes welded on top of each other. Soon to be more.... of course.
We did other wonderful things like rock climbing, hiking, swimming in a watering hole...
...and snapping my very first instagram photo! Holla! (Yes, I gave in to the instagram world. I've been holding out for awhile. Maybe one of these days I'll blog about why I decided it was worth the time suck).
Definitely need more of these quick and relaxing getaways - fuels for the spirit....
One of my favorite things to do is head to southern utah, arrive when it's dark, set up the tent and then wake up in the morning to the gorgeous view of the red rocks against the ble sky. It makes my heart jump. Next time you go to Moab go when it isn't so hot. And eat at the Quesadilla Mobilla (a nummy food truck).
ReplyDeleteHave you ever been to Capitol Reef? The campground is awesome because it has grass and lots of trees. And if you can figure out how to time it right, go down when it's peach harvest time. They have lots of fruit orchards and you can go in eat peaches and pay for what you take out.
