{Southern Utah - Arches Part 1}

Southern Utah is so beautiful - it's sort of an alien beautiful. It's so dry, and it looks dead at first glance, but it really is beautiful. The colors are vibrant, the geography is amazing, and I have so much respect for all the forms of life that make southern Utah their home.
I have been to arches a number of times with my family as a kid and teenager, but unfortunately, I was a kid/teenager. The last time we went through the only thing that I remember was being pretty upset when I was woken up from my nap in the car to look at balancing rock...how sad. Oh the numerous things I must have missed out on in similar circumstances [sorry, parents]. On this trip I couldn't help but comment every few minutes on the beauty of the land around me.

The previous night we went to Moab to eat dinner and tour the little city. We picked up hats as well because we were stupid and did not put on sunscreen....oops.

This is what happens to his hair when he wears a hat ;)

 "Take a picture of me looking epic, ok?" Ok, husband!
