I’m writing this from my phone as I sit in the lobby of a hotel I’m not staying at, because it’s the only place near Bryce canyon that has a tv showing Monday night football. And I am blissfully happy. Getting away is just what I needed.
I have seen more incredible beauty in the last week than words or pictures would ever be able to accurately describe. And I also got to spend some quality time with Sleeping booty. All I have to say is that if you have never spent time in any national parks, you need to now. My husband and I are so in love that we started talking about becoming park rangers and spending our whole lives surrounded by incredible nature. When you hike down into a canyon, climb out on a ledge and just gaze out letting the silence envelop you and the wind whip around you, it is utter perfection. And you have to hike to make it worth it because it’s only when you get away a little bit that you can avoid the giant throngs of tourists and really appreciate the nature fully.
I feel like I can’t fully express my feelings in words. You just have to experience it yourself. I don’t really know how I’m going to be able to go back to real life after this. But I’ve still got another week and I’m going to enjoy it.
