We had a super fun weekend with our friends (Stephanie, Jacob, Tania, and Rex) in Moab. We took our second wedding pictures in the morning, and then we headed out in Rex's parent's mini van. It was our kick off the summer trip! We got to Moab around 2:30pm, and staked out our campsite behind a trailer park. We were a little skeptical at first, but Rex had camped there many times before. (It turned out to be really perfect). We wanted to hike delicate arch around sunset so we could get cool pictures, so we decided to hike the other arches first. We first saw balance rock, window arch, double arch, landscape arch, and then finally delicate arch. It was very breathtakingly beautiful, and a very fun thing to see in person. We all had a fun time hiking and talking.
When we got back into the city of Moab, we were all starving so we decided to eat at a really fun place called Pasta Jay's. I ordered a delicious fettuccine dish with a creamy red sauce, broccoli, mushrooms, chicken, artichoke, and peas. It was absolutely delicious. Rhett ordered a white clam pasta in a delicious clam sauce. We all shared their famous spinach artichoke dip! So gooood!
After dinner we had Smores and roasted Starbursts around the campfire. Stayed up late talking and laughing. In the morning we had bagels for breakfast, and played games till about 1pm. We headed out stopping by subway, and then trying Moab Brewery's famous Gelato. It was pretty yummy. On our way heading back to Orem we decided to go see Goblin Valley. It was the perfect weather to go see it. We hiked our way through, climbing and jumping all over the sandstone. Goblin Valley is the perfect place for a kid to play house, and let their imagination run wild!! We had lots of fun picking out different shapes in the rocks!
After Goblin Valley we headed home, and played name that Celebrity for at least an hour and a half! We had a great time, and it was way fun to kick off the summer with great friends and a new adventurous place!!
