More Road Trip...More Pictures!

After our first day in lake powell we stayed in Kanab, Landons parents had won a gift certificate to stay at a hotel.


Apparently it used to be the place where all the stars stayed while they filmed lots of old western movies in southern Utah.

The next day we were going to go back to lake powell and rent some jet skis and play around but it was way to windy and made the lake to choppy for jet skis :(

So instead we decided to take a side trip to Zion's and had lots of fun there. We could not hike angels landing because of the wind, so instead we did a hike called hidden canyon, which was very cool.











We ate at an amazing restaurant that night called sidewinders (I think) and then went to the local candy store in springdell and got some amazing chocolates!

After our last night in Kanab, we started to head home :( on our way back we decided to stop by Bryce Canyon! It was so pretty, I was a little bummed the hike I really wanted to do (called wall street) was closed due to a rock slide, I guess that's a good enough reason. So we did a few smaller hikes and still had some fun.

















Funny story about the last picture...so in order to take this great picture Landon decided he needed to stand on the fence! Which entailed him trying to get on the fence and stay balanced on the top of the post, this took about 10 min, I and everyone around was dying laughing! So he finally gets balanced on the fence some foreign lady comes and stand on the other side of the tree totally ruining the shot! She stands there for a good 5 min clueless to the fact she was in our way, while poor Landon was dying trying to stay balanced on the fence post, I could not stop laughing!

So all in all we had a wonderful trip, it was so refreshing to get away from all our cares for awhile and enjoy some great scenery! We came back with lots of amazing pictures, sore legs, and a slight sunburn and we could not have been happier!

Road Trip! Picture Overload!

A few weekends ago Landon and I too the opportunity of taking a few days off firm work and taking a road trip to southern Utah! It didn't turn out quite like we had planned but we had a great time!

About an hour into our road trip our wonderful brand new car broke down!!! we had to pull of the freeway and wait 30 min in the middle of nowhere for a tow truck to take us back to Orem!





It turned out to be just a faulty sensor, and luckily since the car is under warranty the tow and repair was all free! But non the less it put us 4 hours behind schedule and we still had 6 hours to drive!

On the drive down in. The middle of the night we managed to have some fun...


Somewhere in Panquitch...right after this picture I was climbing up to get a picture and broke the wagon door :( opps!

We also managed to get on the wrong road somehow. Luckily this sign was there before we got to far out in the middle of nowhere!


We finally pulled into our lake powell campsite around two in the morning and then had to pitch our tent by the the headlights of the car.


The next day we did a lot of hiking and saw some beautiful things.....

We went and hike antelope slot canyon. It was so amazing!














I have hundreds of pictures I want to put up, they are all so pretty!

After that we went here...











It's the only place in the Colorado river that makes a 270 degree turn.

After that we went over and took a tour of the dam. Landon had a great time making dam jokes the entire tour.












And the rest of our trip will be concluded in another post, my iPad is getting mad at me for all the pictures I'm putting up!
