Springhill Suites By Marriott Cedar City

I woke up and decided I really needed to make a supply run...my sandals just aren't sticking to the duck tape anymore. I need face cream with spf 30...my freckles are smilin' at the sun. Tommy needs an oil change. I need a haircut...I need STUFF! Small towns are quaint, but extremely limited in supplies. So I figured I would make a loop out of going to Cedar City, and across through Dixie National Forest to loop back to Kanab ...

... RV. I was so freaked out that I literally ran back to our safe zone. You would think my fear of darkness would subside at my age, what a loser. Now the sun is up and I&#8217;m drinking a cup of Via coffee from Starbucks, it really does taste like brewed coffee rather than instant. I&#8217;m going to make eggs, bacon, and biscuits for breakfast so I better get started.<br><br>We followed 50 east but somehow turned off on 93 north. We turned around in McGill and ...

... came to southern Utah, accounted for the hoodoos as the "Legend People" whom Coyote had turned to stone.<br><br>Capt. Clarence E. Dutton and John Wesley Powell, explored this area in the 1870s and gave it many place names. Dutton's report gave the name Pink Cliffs to the Claron Formation. Names from the Paiute are Paunsaugunt, place or home of the beavers; Paria, muddy water or elk water; Panguitch, water of fish; and Yovimpa, point of pines. Paiutes were ...

... snow on the cars outside. Everything was exciting. Probably too much for a little guy to take in all at once. But wide eyes and a dropped jaw were doing their best to take it all in. One of the best things about being an only kid, is that you don't have to compete with brothers and sisters when it comes to present opening. So Zac has learned to take his time. Not really the way I remember things growing up, but he ...

... the road. Our home for the night was at Cathedral Gorge where Linds and I cooked our first meal for the group. In the morning we took a stroll around this magical area, a stranger rock formation than you'll ever see, it was like Arnie's Total Recall or something. From there we drove into Utah and settled into our new campsite surrounded by the towering red rocks of Zion. There we stayed for a few nights, spending the days walking on various ...

... planet (whether you subscribe to these theories or whether you have your own ideas via your belief in the story the Bible tells), there's just no possible way you can come away from exposure to the grandeur that places like Zion National Park bestow on us with anything less than respect for nature, the nature that God created. By now you have at least had the chance to see some of the pictures I posted above. I wish I could put them under this text, but alas, if it ...

June 19, 2007 - 11:30 MT We're on the road today, going from Zion Canyon to Bryce Canyon. Jimmy Buffet is on the radio. OK so Margarita-ville does'nt't fit the scene here, but it's fun nonetheless. The ride up and out of Zion was beautiful and we saw up close the cliffs we had been looking up at for three days. The tunnel ride was different, but uneventful One of my favorite things about traveling is meeting so many different people ...

... s so deep, there aren't any trails down into the canyon, because they'd simply fall away every year. So we drove along the rim, stopping at some of the overlooks such as Chessmen overlook. We drove on to Cedar City to our Holiday Inn Express Hotel, where I had a swim, and Matt went back to Cedar Breaks to take some pictures. Had a really nice meal at a place called Applebee's, which is a bit like TGI Fridays but less cheesy!

... donate to. First stop was New York, New York just to have a quick go on the roller coaster. An expensive ride at $12.50 a pop (or a hand of blackjack in Vegas terms) it was the best roller coaster I had ever been on. The adrenaline was pumping. Fee wet herself. I think she did. She denied it but went straight to the toilet afterwards. Now we were set to win money. It was not to be. At Excalibur, King Arthur and his knights robbed us. Pharaohs at Luxor ransacked us. At Mandalay Bay we ...

... club passes have the annoying tendency to slap the passes on their hands as you pass. They must get taught this as everyone single one of them up and down the strip were slapping the passes. It was like a rhythmic beat. We pushed past all the pedlars to check out our first casino- Caesars Palace. Ornately decorated as an ancient Roman palace replete with fountains and statues, Caesars Palace is huge. Even by Vegas standards it is enormous. Recently it ...
