All My Vacation Days...

I often ask myself why I rushed through high school to rush through college to rush into my career where I now have to work for time off. Why didn't I ever just take a summer off to be a normal kid that sits around looking for cures for boredom? But I was always just so busy. Now I use my one week of vacation and my five days of paid time off all within a few weeks of each other all for summer vacations. But what can I say... I love me some summer time!

So we showed up a day early... no big deal. Because the trip was planned by men we just waiting until all workers went to bed (2 am!) and then sleep on the benches of random tour boats until the sun woke us up around 6 am....

I mean, I'm not complaining. Invite me to Lake Powell anytime and I'll sleep on a rock but I'll look like this...

I'll tell you what though. It was all worth it when we arrived in this breathtaking location!

Lake Powell trips are a lot more adventurous when you have a few inspired men a ski rope, a pulley, and a few spare ropes... Say hello to the makings of a zipline! And... a few injuries.

Lake Powell. What an incredible place. One of my favorites - but so is this little gem... :-)
