Utah

We took a 5 day driving vacation to Zion and Bryce National Parks in October. The 11 hour trip straight through was made bearable by a newly purchased portable DVD player and Sasha's little potty which we whisked out on the side of the interstate countless times. Honestly diapers would have been a little bit easier on this occasion. Zion was one of those "wow" places that just takes your breath away. We went on several amazing hikes, Angels Landing being the best hike I have ever done. The last 1/2 mile up this huge red rock monolith required hanging onto chains with 1400 ft. dropoffs on either side. We took turns doing this as it was not recommended with a child on your back! I'll post a few more pictures from our travels on the next entry.

Sasha was a champion hiker as long as she had a lollipop in hand. Since Halloween when I ask her if she enjoyed eating a particular food she says "Yummy. Tastes kind of like candy." whether it's cold cereal, soup, vegetables, whatever. Is that bad?
