Arches National Park

Jimmy and I were able to spend a weekend away, without the kids, to celebrate our anniversary and Jimmy's 30th birthday. My sister and parents came to watch the kids. We went to Arches National Park by Moab, UT. It was a lot of fun, and we pretty much spent the entire time hiking. These were hikes that would not have been fun for little kids, so it was great to be able to do everything without worrying about diapers, naps or snacks! The pictures are in no particular order and in no way do these scenes justice!


Double O Arch - really cool view!


Delicate Arch - the famous one on the Utah license plates. This was our favorite one. It was one heck of a hike to get up there, but it was SO worth it!! You come around a corner and there is the arch. It is on the side of a cliff and looks like it could fall at any time.

This is the view when you come around the corner.



Landscape Arch - very cool!!

Behind us is Partition Arch - Jimmy is sitting in the smaller arch in the picture below

This was one of the many awesome views that we got during the hike. We were right on top of one of these 'fins' in this picture.

Yes, I am holding up this rock!
