Utah from Top to Bottom

We just go back a couple weeks ago from a trip to Utah. My parents, Russ and I have gone out to Utah for General Conference for the last few years and it has become a fun tradition. It's great getting to see Conference and so much fun to see family who live there and visit with great friends. It was a big added bonus that I got to spend so much time with Russ. He hasn't gotten much time off since he started his new job so it was nice to get to be together for a whole week!

We flew in early and spent a couple days in Moab, Utah to see the arches and windows in the canyons there. It was beautiful and fun because neither of us had been there before. In Moab we got to see beautiful sights like...

...this... 

and this. 

Us in front of one of the "windows." So cool huh?

Random adorable, and might I add adventurous, couple in front of us on the trail. Not only were they precious and holding hands while they slowly walked down the path, but he was carrying an old-fashioned video camera that only added to their cuteness. 

I spent a lot of my time in the canyons trying to make sure Russ didn't fall off the side of a huge cliff. But I guess he's always been one to "live on the edge." (get it?)  Can you spot the Russ in this picture?

I knew we were high but it didn't really hit me until I saw a bird fly right by and perch itself on the edge of the cliff. Realized we were as high as birds fly! (Which to me sounds like as high as you can go.)

It was pretty crazy cause we went from 80 degrees in Moab to about 30 degrees in Park City! (world's fakest smiles?)

We spent a day in Park City and we got some snow! It was kind of a nice change of pace.

We spent a lot of time in the car on our mini Utah tour driving from place to place. One day at the tail end of a rain storm we saw this beautiful rainbow. 

After some time in Provo and SLC, before we knew it our trip had come to an end and we were heading back home. It was such a nice get away and we had such a wonderful time.
