It’s so Moab

We took a weekend trip to Moab a few weeks ago. 

Saturday evening we went with Grandma and her sister, Aunt Grace, on a Colorado River Cruise called Canyonlands by Night.   We were served a yummy Cowboy Style Dutch Oven dinner before the cruise.   

The picture above is a quilt that was hanging on the wall in the big room where everyone eats.

We loved spending time with Grandma and were sad to leave her in Moab with her sister.   Aunt Grace we very excited that it was here turn to have Grandma stay!  Moab is Grandma’s last stop after being gone from Mesa for three months.   She spent three weeks with us here in South Jordan and we enjoyed every minute of it.

Little Mister loved the food and went back for seconds of barbeque beef. 

The hosts had a lot of fun with the kids.  Notice their extra big helping of whipped cream with their apple pie.

The red rocks are beautiful. 

This man was our host.  He was really fun and very knowledgable about the area.  He had lots of fun stories to tell.

He’s not the only one with stories, however.   Aunt Grace has lived in Moab practically her entire adult life.  She knows lots of people and tells great stories about how Moab has changed (and not changed) through the years.  She served as the Grand County Treasurer for several years.

Last summer when we were in Moab, Aunt Grace took us on a tour of Arches National Park.  She knows more than the tour guides!

It was fun to be on the river when it was really dark and watch the narrated light show. 

Pulling back into the dock.  The building where we ate dinner is all lit up.

It was a great evening on the river.

Before we left Moab we stopped for brunch at Milt’s.  It’s off the main road and looks like a dive.  The food is good and we were relaxed eating outside under a huge shade tree.
