So, all Dustin wanted for his birthday was to have a little break from life. He wanted to get away for a few days with no work and no school. We left Macie in Logan and headed to Moab. It was a way fun weekend. It was our anniversary/birthday weekend. We left on Thursday, Dustin's birthday. Of course, on the way we got pulled over. Dustin was going 12 over, but maybe the cop saw it was his birthday and let us off with just a warning.
We first went to Goblin Valley. It was pretty cool actually because you don't see anything as you are driving up until you basically get to the parking lot. Then it just opens up into this little valley with goblins all over.
We took this picture because it kind of looked like a brochure picture.
We were going to go to Canyonlands to camp, but it was getting later, and we thought it might be full, so we just drove up into some hills by Goblin Valley and found a nice little campsite. My only complaint was that the wind was brutal til about dark. It was all good, though. We got there, set up camp, went for a little bike ride, and ate dinner.
Dustin was so lucky and got some jeans for his birthday. He actually got a GPS, too, and he thought that was kind of cool. (Don't mind the Christmas paper wrapping, it's all I had! Stop judging!) :)
When we were about to go to bed, we realized how bright it was outside. We walked over to the other side of the little valley we were in and Dustin got this awesome picture of a full moon. Those are just the rock cliffs in front of it.
Friday morning, we got up, packed up camp, and headed out. We went to Arches National Park. I'd never been there. It was awesome. We hiked in to Delicate Arch, the one from the license plates. It looks SO amazing in real life. If you look really close, Dustin and I are on the rocks at the front of the arch.
Parade of Elephants.
After Arches, we drove into Moab and got our hotel room. We were going to go for another bike ride but realized we were tired, so we got ready, went to dinner, and went to see Star Trek instead. Basically that show is awesome, and Spock is my hero. (Besides Dustin of course!) Anyway, Happy Birthday, Dustin! I hope you had a good time. I love you!
