THE MOAB 2010


A four day weekend, great weather and beautiful scenery
makes Moab a perfect destination in October. For us and
about 100,000 other people. We decided to wing it without
hotel reservations and were perplexed when every hotel
had a NO VACANCY sign. Apparently, this is the 2nd most
popular weekend of the year. Out of sheer determination
Dave found us a fun little place with only a king bed. The
maid brought in a roll-away bed for Hailey, making our
small room just one big huge bed.
During the next three days we enjoyed amazing landscapes
which most tourists travel thousands of miles to see. And
to realize Moab is practically in my backyard makes
me wonder why I don't come here more often.


Hailey is ready to tackle the hike to Delicate Arch

Sooooo worth it!


Landscape Arch is one of those natural wonders which could
fall at any moment.


Nowhere else on earth can you experience such crazy formations.


Of course the Big Sand Mountain was the chosen favorite.


Still, Tanner prefers to be back at the hotel where he
can flip through channels. For him, keeping it simple
is the key to his happiness regardless of how beautiful
the world is.

We always go to Moab in October but this year we headed to Hotel Rock Jeep trail and Goblin valley and 3 nights camping with no shower :)

Glad you had a great time
