Home from paradise

Back now from our 10 days away.   The Moab area and Arches and Canyonlands National Parks are stunning.  I could have stayed several more weeks and still not felt like we saw everything.  Between the geology...


The 4WD roads...

The wildlife...


And the history, both ancient...


and "modern"...


I was in heaven.  Of course, while the kids liked all that stuff too, they liked the pool best. 

Even a little stitching was accomplished.  Mostly while waiting for the mountain-goat members of the family to rejoin the group.


I do not think this will be our last trip to southeast Utah.  More, please.

    Sounds like my kind of vacation! I so miss being out west - 2 years in New Mexico was not enough, must get back out there again...

    Just dropped by from "stitchin' fingers". Great vacation you had and lovely photos. Your embroidery is also lovely. I liked the idea of using the colors from an old book as inspiration. Your pictures of Washington make me just a tad nostalgic as I was raised in the Northwest...but, I've really gotten used to the sun in Tunisia! best, nadia
