The Vacation Chronicles...

We've actually been back from vacation for 13 days now but I am just getting around to blogging about it. Actually, if the truth be told, I am still waiting for Screwloose to share the bulk of the pictures with me! The pictures I currently have were taken with my lovely Mother's Day gift. The rest were taken with our digital SLR and, apparently, needed to be re-formatted, blah, blah, blah... Get to it son! The world awaits our photos! LOL!!

Traveling is a favorite past time of our family and this trip did not disappoint. Beauty is to be beheld out there in the world! We began in Las Vegas, NV, for a business conference. We stayed at the Rio this time (first time for us at this hotel). Hubby and Screwloose worked hard at the conference while Footloose, On the Loose and I kicked back in our room.

From Vegas, we traveled east through Zion National Park. We had been to this park before so we just drove through on our way to Bryce Canyon National Park. Oh my! Magnificent is a word that comes to mind! It is truly an incredible place with its HooDoos.



We were blessed to arrive at a time when we were able to view the sunset as well as arise early the next morning to enjoy the sunrise. The colors and shadows were breathtaking!



Sorry about the heads in this photo but the sunrise colors were just amazing!



After watching the sunrise, we had a nice breakfast and headed northeast through Utah towards Vail, CO. Once we entered the Rocky Mountains, I was changed! I will never forget the beauty of that first sight of them! More to come when I get those pictures! :-)
