How I Spent My Spring Vacation

Everything about your schedule is decided by your seniority level when you work for the airlines. Therefore, Tommy seldom gets vacation in the summer. Which is OK with us--you don't have to fight the crowds, there are usually more available seats on the flights, and the temperatures are better. We almost always fly to vacation destinations.

However, this week we decided to take a road trip that we have wanted to do since moving to Utah thirty years ago. We drove a modified version of what's called "The Grand Circle" in southeastern Utah and southwestern Colorado. Layton, Moab, Ouray, Cortez, Monument Valley, Moab, Layton. Five days and 1200 miles. It was everything we hoped for and more--beautiful scenery, relaxing time together, good weather, no car issues, and fun!

Although I don't journal regularly, I usually take detailed notes when we travel. This 56-year-old mind can't remember things like it used to. Over the next few days, I hope to share some of those notes and some of the beautiful pictures we took.
