Holiday in Utah

In need of a break form city life we took a long weekend and did an abreviated tour of Utah's national parks. As always, wish we had more time to explore but what we got to see was fabulous...
First day in Bryce Canyon - took the scenic drive and found a small waterfall and cave with icicles:






Second day at Bryce Canyon - saw the hoodoos and Queensland Garden trail:






Later that day drove to Zion - stopped at an Indian souvenir store and ate at the swanky steakhouse with lots of taxidermy:





Third day, took the scenic drive through Zion National Park and went to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab; went to the Mocqui Cave (where they had a great basset hound hat); walked up the Virgin River:






Later that night, we drove to Vegas where we stayed at New York New York - visited the Bellagio and enjoyed the topiaries:

Fourth day, before driving home, we stopped off at Red Rock Canyon outside of Vegas - we even saw some wild burros:

i find the phrase "wild burros" to be hilarious.

you and kelly are both lovely, as usual. i especially enjoy the pictures with the (sad face) stuffed bears.

and also that your sunglasses match your purple shirt. color coordination is key.
