On Monday, Bob and I stopped at Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks. Bryce had amazing formations. At Zion, we went for a walk between two Canyon walls…most of it walking through freezing water and sometimes almost full leg height.

One morning, I decided to snorkel for the first time in my life. Okay, I practiced in the sand bottom pool a couple days ago in Tahiti, but it was without fish. Now, I was going to be brave and get in the water with all the wild sea creatures. Bob had been in the [...]
