Well this weekend was nice to get away but my family drove me nuts. I really wish I could have been at Khara's wedding on Saturday instead of being home but it happens when you can't get the right day off (I was going to get Friday off but my boss gave it to another person-we only like having one person out of the office) so I took yesterday off. I am going to go out and visit Khara & Bryan in the fall and meet up with them. So lets see, Saturday I went to a Rodeo with the fam. It was a good time but the seats weren't so hot. They just moved the rodeo to a new arena and the seats that we sat in were really good in the old one but now they suck (right behind the shoots). We could hardly see the bulls & bronco's but it was a good time in general. Sunday morning we got up and drove to Bryce National Park and we got there in the afternoon so we went hiking down into the canyon. Monday we got up and did a 4 hour horseback ride up one of the nearby canyons. It was so cool climbing up the canyon and coming back down. It really reminds you about how little things are so insignificant. It took millions of years for the sand to be deposited & compacted then to have water & wind erode the various areas and crate how they look today. Its so amazing!! Gotta love geology!! Then Monday afternoon we went on a 6 mile hike (3in and back out) that went to a very cool waterfall. It was so amazing (again) for the hidden valley to have such luscious green plants and wild life in the middle of a desert. Then the place we were staying at had fireworks so we watched them after watching some of the Boston Pops on TV- it was hard going from that to the ones the hotel put on because they were so slow and few & far between the amount used. Then Tuesday we slept in and then went on a short hike (1mile) that took you to a cave that had water leaking through the sandstone and a waterfall from a hand dug river bed. So the weekend was nice to just get away but the family drove me nuts. My mom was cranky the whole weekend and my sister wasn't feeling very good and was cranky on top of that so needless to say I had a good time but I hate traveling with the family.. Ok, time to run to the restroom before I have to start working again. I hate coming back after a long weekend!!
