You just go ahead and figure out that title! We are finally in Houston! Not that it has taken us this long, we're just still happy about it. :) Even though we said we would take it slow getting here, once we got in the car we just wanted to get out! So when we left Moab on Saturday night, we made it to Farmington, NM and spent the night there, and then drove the rest of the way on Sunday. Yes, the REST of the way. 18 hours I believe. It was ridiculous. But it was so worth it to get here! We spent time with both our families on Memorial Day, and we were glad to be here for that. Anyway, here are some pics from our Moab adventures!

Above is our campsite. We got to Moab around 8 pm on Friday, but since it was Memorial Day weekend, Moab was absolutely packed with people. It was insane. Not one open space at any of the nearby campsites! We drove around forever trying to find something. After a brainstorming dinner at Wendy's, we decided to try going further out of town than Arches or Canyonlands. We went south of Moab to the national park that's pretty close to Ken's Lake and found a spot there a bit after 11. Yes, we were campsite hunting for over 3 hours! It was crazy. *Note: Ken's Lake was hilarious. It was dark when we were searching for a campsite so we didn't see it until the next morning... pretty sure Ken just decided he wanted something named after him so he dug a lame hole and filled it with water. It's so man-made and funny-looking. Poor Ken.*


About to begin our jeeping adventures on Fins 'n' Things.


Yeah, we drove down that. And made a white mark similar to the ones already there! Thank goodness for the hitch or that mark would have been made by the bumper.


Austin was a really good and cautious driver (possibly because that's their daily commuter and not a vehicle specifically for those trails)!




Check out the angle... stuff was flying from the back to the front of the car! It felt so funny.

 A quick lunch of PB&Js before hitting the trail to Delicate Arch

 Proud of our lunch-making skills! :)

 That hike was a lot more difficult than I remembered... maybe it was in part because we went in the hottest hours of the day?!?

It was so fun to be there with Austin and Giselle! We had a great time. After we hiked, we drove back to our campsite. We decided it was much too hot to build a fire, and we were all exhausted, so we just kind of packed up and left! Our plan was to stay until Sunday, but I was glad we left when we did. The wind really picked up on our way out and I was glad not to be sleeping in a tent that night.

So that was our Moab trip! We had a blast. We've had a great week in Houston, but more about that later. I feel pretty accomplished just catching up this much!
