Road Trip 2009

I am not going to write much, but I'll let the pictures do the talking. We took a 9 day road trip through Moab (Utah), Mesa Verde, Durango, Silver City (Colorado), the 4 corners, Monument Valley, Navajo Nation, North Rim Grand Canyon, and Zions National Park in Utah. We camped, stayed at a family reunion in Colorado, hiked, and had a great time just seeing all the amazing sights! It was great! Isaiah was a little scared our first night camping at the Grand Canyon, because our spot was the closest to the rim and he was afraid we might slide into the canyon! He later said " we should try really hard to never forget this trip"! If you've never been, you've really got to do it!

Somewhere between Moab and Mesa Verde...."The Hole in the Rock"

Ancient Pueblo Cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde National Park.

Somehow all the pictures of Durango and Silver City ended up on someone else's camera...it was beautiful with lot's of mountains and trees there.

On to the 4 corners. Eli bought a buffalo rib knife, Isaiah bought a bow and arrow, and the girls bought gorgeous Navajo made jewelry.

The Rim can make moms a little nervous.

The Kaibab trail on our last day

This snake freaked us out because it looked so similar to a coral snake. We had to look it up...a mountain king snake (harmless)

We will Definitely NEVER forget this amazing vacation!
