our little vacation: part 1

The week before school started Josh and I headed our for a little road trip vacation. First stop on our trip was Bryce Canyon in Utah. We had both never been and we wanted to camp and hike. When we got there we explored around the different outlooks and scouted out places we wanted to hike to the next day. Around 5:00 pm we decided that we better head back to camp to start a fire and warm up some dinner. The clouds were daunting and everything was already wet from previous rain. The fire did not come easily and as we were making it it began to rain! With some quick thinking (holding a tarp over the fire) we were able to heat up some dinner quick enough before it started pouring and hide out in our tent to eat. Well the rain sure came down hard! As we ate we noticed a little water in our tent... and then more and more! I guess we did not know that our tent was NOT water proof! What the adventure! We had to pack up our stuff into our car in a hurry as the rain came down. Well, we already paid for our camp site, so what better thing to do than to just sleep in our car at our campsite so not to waste our money! We folded down the back seats of the car and slept in the trunk. Poor Josh was too tall to ever get comfortable, and like the good husband he is gave me the only mattress pad thing that we had, so I was just fine. It was completely NOT what we expected and we weren't able to see/do all that we wanted but it made for a very entertaining time.

Funniest face of Josh ever.

  1. Awesome pictures and your jumping techniques are fantastic:) I don't know if I could sleep in the trunk... I'd get way too claustrophobic!!
