I spent last week in North Carolina, traveling for work. The trip was fine, and it was nice to see my team. I got home Thursday night around 8:30 and then worked a half day on Friday. I packed my bag again (differently) and left Friday at 12:30 for a road trip to Escalante, UT with my sister and the twins.
We had a good time. I don’t think I’ve ever stopped in Escalante before and it was very small. The hotel was good, but there were not many options for food and pretty much everything was closed on Sunday. We had planned ahead and had ramen and other options.
We did a few small hikes to some Petrified Forest state park, and the Devil’s Garden. And played in the hotel pool in the afternoons. We also did the short hike to Mossy Cave this morning and because it is Presdent’s day, the national parks are free. We stopped at Bryce on the way home. We didn’t stay long, but the wind was blowing and up at 8000 ft, it was cold! Still, it’s beautiful to see and we got our free dollar’s worth.
Now I’m just sitting here enjoying my quiet, clean, and chaos-free home. I love the kids, but it can be a lot. I have a busy week ahead and this will actually be my only night home until Friday. I have things every night this week.
We passed the 2 year milestone for mom on the 14th. Still can’t believe she’s gone sometimes. She did love a good road trip though.
