Camping

Well, we took 3 days and went camping down in Moab. We had such a great time! While we were there, we took in Canyonlands National Park, Arches National Park, Goblin Valley State Park, and drove through Capitol Reef National Park.

We were really only planning to see Arches and Canyonlands, but on Saturday, when we were driving home, we drove down to Goblin Valley, then through Capitol Reef. What a terrific day!

I'm not going to write much, 'cause I plan on posting a bunch of pictures, but here's the quick run-down.

~Found out that the campground drained their pool on Tuesday (Serayah was bummed)
~Put up tent while kids played on the playground (which was a godsend)
