We visited Megan and Jason in SLC and really liked it there. Aaron got a free IV lesson from Megan (I kind of wish I had tried now! I'll have to get a rain check).
My first time to Colorado
We did a factory tour at Celestial Seasonings and loved it! You get to actually go on the floor, and you can try any of their 98 flavors as many times as you like. All for free. They are a great company that has stuck to their roots.
We went to Arches NP, this is Delicate Arch. I thought it was alright, but for some reason I wasn't that impressed with this park. Maybe it had been talked up too much?
But I absolutely fell in love with Bryce Canyon. You have to see it to believe it. The hoodoos are so vast and so beautiful and change color all through the day. I would like to go back and do some hiking here.
Mesa Verde NP, also very cool. We explored a few of the cliff dwellings. It was amazing how they were built right into the side of the cliffs.
Our last stop (planned anyway) was to Aaron's grandparent's house in Union, Oregon. His grandparents are wonderful and it was nice to spend some time with them. His grandfather told us all about his days in the war, he was a gunner in a plane and went on 30 missions.
Exactly 185 miles from our house the bearings in Aaron's water pump went out. Luckily his parents were just an hour behind us. They rope towed us 50 miles (not fun) to his cousin's house who let us stay the night. He then used one of his few days off to tow us all the way to Albany. We definitely got lucky thanks to some very kind people.
