Bryce Canyon

Posted on August 21, 2015 by Bec

We arrived at Bryce Canyon just in time for sunset. It’s one of the strangest places on earth and further evidence, in my scientific opinion, that the universe must have been high when it created southern Utah. Because we are … Continue reading →

Moab, Utah

Posted on August 17, 2015 by Bec

It’s been a while! An entire state actually. I turned 27 last week in Colorado, Denver to be specific. We celebrated with delicious food and cocktails and an early night to prepare me for the rest of old age. I’m … Continue reading →
