Monument Valley and Arches

I am so far behind. We have been home for months and I still have not finished blogging about our last trip. We left Arizona and drove through Monument Valley where apparently I didn’t take any pictures. Seriously I can’t find them. I know I did. I even have a video of John running through the street like Forrest Gump. That is why you need to blog as you go. Either way, I need to finish this so I can make my book.
After driving through Monument Valley we headed to Arches National Park. We stayed at Sun Outdoors Canyonland Park. All Swanky camping when we travel with the kids. Mike had to leave us at this point and we really hated to see him go but, our adventures were not over.

I lied. Just found these pictures of Monument Valley. Yay, didn’t lose them.

Back to Arches. We camped right down the road–like within a mile of the entrance. This is going to be somewhat short and sweet because my memory is failing me. I am pretty sure we went in that night and then the next. We did go inside for sunset pictures. I watched as the rest of the crew climbed the rocks and sat in the opening of the Arches. Just a beautiful sight!

And now for some sunset shots

With all our mishaps on this trip, John was ready to go home but, the kids wanted to go back to Zion to do another hike that we missed out on earlier. So we agreed.
