UTAH

UTAH is exciting.  Day one we went out for delicious burritos, sneakily hijacked firewood, purchased some premium alcoholic beverages & tried to sleep outside for the whole night (FAILED due to chilliness). Early yesterday we got our national park pass- hiked up, around and through the arches (just behind a large family of mormons)--we earned our patches.  There is a great fossil shop here, we took advantage of their parking lot to make a fabulous mexican lunch.  Made our way to the local thrift shop after && spent more money than we should have.  Who can resist a belt with cats all over it?  Not me. Spent a good couple of hours in the afternoon at the cafes in town to go through pictures, the coffee is not nearly as spectacular here as it was in Boulder.  Always comforting regardless. We celebrated HALLOWEEN by driving out to Canyonland, slightly sketchy because of the lack of anyone or anything within 30 miles, a great way to celebrate a spooky holiday though. I wore a skeleton suit and Ashley got a weird wooden cat mask with the name 'Hayden' scribbled on the back (cute!<3).  Just this morning we watched the sun come up over the canyons.  It was pretty majestic, lacked the pegasus I hoped for- I think it might be too cold here.
