Arches Aniversary Trip

I guess it's true what they say...what do they say, you ask? Time flies when you're having fun, that's fo dang sho. Our 2nd anniversary has crept up on us in a sneaky sort of fashion. I can't believe it's here already! But we sure have loved every second of it. Last year for our anniversary we went to Park City, did a fun little horseback ride around the mountain, hit the Alpine slide and did some shopping. This year we celebrated a week early and took a trip down to Arches National Park. It was blooming hot, but we had a blast. We just stayed one night in Moab, and were extremely grateful when it finally cooled down a bit in the middle of the night and we were even blessed enough to have a light sprinkle. We awoke bright and early, had breakfast and hit the road towards the park. We only did 3 hikes, but we estimated we did about 9 miles that day. First we hiked Devil's Garden and saw Landscape Arch and Double O Arch. Darwin climbed up on top of the bottom O at Double O and scared just about everyone there who was watching. Sand Dune Arch was our next stop, as well as lunch break. Our last stop was Delicate Arch, which was beautiful beyond measure as always, but the hike up there was our grandest adventure. We started this hike around 2:00pm and at that time had the wonderful companionship of 97 degree weather, hardly a cloud in the sky. By the time we got back down, we were all hiked out and decided to head home. We are still in awe of God's beautiful creations and hope to make worlds just as beautiful some day. Anyway, 2 years is another milestone and we're on our way to the next with great anticipation of the adventures in store.
