Our great little escape


A few months ago, there was a deal on Living Social for a 2 night stay at Zion Ponderosa Resort. It was 50% off, so I didn't waste any time to get it. We went down there for the weekend at the end of April. It was so much fun, especially since it was our first time visiting Zion National Park in Utah. We totally fell in love with everything down there. The sight-seeing was breathtakingly amazing. I can't believe there are so much things to see and learn about this place. We don't have to worry that there's nothing to do in Utah anymore. The fact is there is too much to see; I worry I might not live long enough to see everything. (Editor's note:  Chummy isn't dying, merely being dramatic.-Brett)


It took us about 5 hours to drive from/to our home in South Jordan. Although I must point out the 80 mph speed limit was pretty awesome. It cut down our time quite a bit :) The view was very nice as well even when it was stormy. During this time of year, it didn't get way too hot yet so we could hike during the day.

These pictures really can't do it justice because the view is so much more magnificent in person.




In just a few million years, this will become a great arch



The drive through the canyon was so much fun, some people probably get seriously car sick though.

I was so sad to leave our little cabin suite, such a nice place to stay. I couldn't wait to go back another time.



Ok, so Brett and I both thought this was pretty funny :) Who would actually name a road 'End of the' haha
