Carol and I woke up from our nap just in time for Barney's arrival from Mesa Verde. He was smiling from ear to ear because of all the great petroglyphs and rocks he had seen. We all settled down to another scrumptous dinner Carol prepared and then watched the colors on the huge mountains fade to darkness.
We all woke up early to get on the road to Canyonlands National Park (although as you can see in this picture, Barney and I were a bit slow to actually get out of bed). Packing the Kia has gotten a little easier, Carol puts the stuff on the porch and I tell Barney where to put it in the car-works for me!!
The canyonlands was beautiful, so many things to look at all at once and a beautiful scene around every corner. They decided that today would be the day to try out those boots-it was very warm and I was not allowed on the dirt...so here we go....I didn't walk much, just too weird!! I did get treated to a bunch of loving hugs from some kids from Australia who were touring around America.....that was special. Barney saw artwork all over the huge mountains of rocks, he was amazed!!!
We got to our place for the night here in Moab at the Redstone Inn about 7:00, Carol whipped up strawberry/blueberry protein smoothies and we all settled in to watch Boston Legal.....Carol just loves Alan.
Now we are getting ready to go for a stroll and to smell the honeysuckle behind us and return to watch Bill Maher...Barney likes him, but he makes Carol mad!!
Oh, well, here we are off to Salt lake City to stay in Layton at the Comfort Inn-we plan to take in Antelope Island and see all the bison that live there as well as many different birds...I like birds, I really like to chase birds, maybe I will try to chase bison....hmmm..Carol, what IS a bison????
