Highway 12
I was up way too early, before five and long before the coffee in the common room was ready. So I had no problem catching the sun come up this morning. I worked on a post and got ready before Amanda, which is an oddity unless I’m headed to work. By then, the coffee was…

Bryce Canyon
As we drove through Zion past the scenic drive turn-off, it was no less beautiful, but the sheer rock walls were just a bit shorter. We began to climb upwards through switchbacks. On one of the switchbacks, there was a half-arch or a massive alcove in an impressive rock face. We would then traverse through…

Zion
We had every intention of getting up and heading to a bluff with a 360-degree view of the sunrise. These were good intentions, but we’re just not great with time management in the mornings. We were about 30 minutes late seeing the sun rise over a plateau in the distance. This put us behind by…

A long travel day
We had planned to stay in San Antonio overnight to be ready for our 5:45 a.m. flight but not get to town as early as we did. Amanda got a last-minute appointment with her endocrinologist for some new symptoms that started while we were in Pagosa. I’ll update on the medical side when we know…

Gearing up for Utah
We’re switching into vacation mode this week. But of course, saving everything for the last couple of days before we leave! We are wheels up Friday around 5:30 a.m., so we’re staying the night in San Antonio before we go. We land around 9 a.m. Salt Lake time, then grab groceries and make a mad…

Next trip booked!
Well, we’ve yet to unpack our bags still. Go ahead and judge us, they still won’t get emptied any sooner! I did move a few things around to pack another bag for a work trip to San Antonio! Usually, Amanda would go with me so that we could eat out, and she’d shop while I…

The Drive Home
We slept so late we missed the hotel breakfast. Not that there would have been much complaint for us anyway, but that didn’t stop me from walking down in my PJs and slippers to see! I had to double-take a dry-erase board in the lobby. My name was written loud and proud solo at the top…

First leg of the drive home
When Amanda got up, she said do we have to go home? Let’s just get the puppies and stay she exclaimed. This has been a lovely week to unwind and see some beautiful country. There hasn’t been much time just to sit and take it in, though. We have been blowing and going. When I…

Last day in Pagosa
We wanted to get coffee from the excellent place downtown, but it was in the wrong direction. Today, we were headed to Chimney Rock National Monument, an archeological site. So this morning, StarBs would have to do instead of the local grind! We got one coffee for free due to an app glitch. After we…

Silver Thread Byway
As I walked to the van this morning, I could smell teriyaki and see the stain on the asphalt! I even washed it off with water yesterday. I heard something like a blow torch and was confused because it sounded above me. When I looked up, a hot air balloon was not more than 100…
