I love traveling! When I was growing up, my family and I went traveling every summer mainly to various parts of California, Nebraska, Minnesota, Oregon, Arizona, and Idaho. Since I've been married though, Raymond and I have been doing lots of traveling exploring different parts of our country and the world. For our honeymoon Raymond took me to Cancun, Mexico in 2008 (I'll post pictures of our trip to Cancun in a future post). In August of this year we went to Washington, D.C., my first time stepping foot on the east coast (I'll post pictures of this trip in a future post too)!
This fall we also went to Utah twice for camping/hiking weekend trips. We went to Snow Canyon, UT in September - very nice camp spot but I don't consider this truly camping because our campsite had electricity. Then October 1st and 2nd we went back to Zion National Park and camped and hiked through the Zion Narrows! Raymond and I have been to Zion National Park back in August of 2008, but we hiked some of the easier trails: Emerald Pools Trail, Weeping Rock, and Riverside Walk aka "Gateway to the Narrows." Hiking through the Zion Narrows was one of the craziest things I have ever done, but it was so worth it! The hike through the Narrows was about 16 miles in length, the majority of which was through water. Crazy I know! On Saturday, I survived 11 miles, falling down five times, rain, and wind. Sunday, was only 5 miles with 2 miles being on a paved hiking trail (Riverside Walk). At the end of the hike my body ached so bad, but the experience outweighed any pain I had. If you ever have the chance, I suggest you hike through the Zion Narrows. Here are some pictures of our trip to Zion.
