bryce. grand canyon. vegas.

we spent the nite in a nice little
motel parking spot in kanab, utah.
when we woke i realized that i may have been a bit hasty in transferring things to the front seat last nite... OOPS!


since the turn signal and lites were broken, we decided to rent a car from fred flintstone, but the brakes were a bit touchy so we switched back.


on our way to bryce canyon national park, we decided to stop at the best friends animal sanctuary. such an amazing place, and so beautiful. some day i want to go back and volunteer there.


just beside this barn lived the turkey that kara befriended:



our visit to bryce was rainy and COLD - the park sits at about 9,000'. we spent very little time out of the car and snapped few photos, jumping out at the viewpoints and running back quickly for warmth


then we headed back to kanab. on our way thru a little town, we thought we'd definitely get a speeding ticket from the sheriff... turns out - that dummy was sleeping. ;)


from kanab we headed to the north rim of the grand canyon. we seemed to be following the storm, so it was rainy and cold again.


ok. over it. lets go to vegas!!! big smiles...


finally arrived and spiffed up a bit.
mmmm showers are a beautiful thing.


a few drinks into it and the nite started to look like this:


i'd tell you how the rest of it went -
but you know how the saying goes...

*note: you may have noticed a lack of bijou in this post.
