Travel On

This past two weeks we have gone on some quick trips here and there.
We drove up to Grafton (in Rockville) and walked around the cemetary and
the old buildings that are there. The headstones say killed by Indians and
stuff like that.
We went to PineValley and drove around until we found Steve and Toni's
cabin they are building. Teria's Dad was there and let us walk through it.
What a place it will be when finished.
We drove to Mesquite and checked out Sun City Mesquite behind the new Walmart
there. We had no idea Mesquite had grown so large. We ate at Casa Blanca.
We took a couple days and drove up to Navajo Lake and walked around, then to
Duck Creek, and on to Bryce Canyon. The Hoo Doos are amazing. We ate at Rubys
Inn and stayed at Bryce Canyon Resort after which we drove to Zion Nat'l Park
took the shuttle up to the end of the shuttle service and walked up to the
entrance to the Narrows. The water was ice cold and flowing quite heavily, so
the Narrows were closed to hiking. We wouldn't have gone anyway.
We were invited to Ashton's kindergarten graduation in Las Vegas, so we spent
part of the day at his school and then out to lunch for pizza, went to one
store and then traveled back home.
A few days later,(yesterday)Paul and I again hopped in the car and drove
to Lehman Caves in Nevada. That is an amazing place, too. Stalgtites and
Stalagmites galore. We drove from there to Delta and stayed at an old motel
which Mary and Lori and Dori were staying at. They had been there for several
days out exploring in the desert. We ate breakfast the next morning at the
"Rancher" then headed home. Jessica was here from up North and wondered where we were
but Dorene and she went and had pedicures and shopped until we returned.
