Moab 2013 (part 1)

This year we decided to take a family vacation to Moab utah. We planned really early, reserved our cabin in January and decided we were for sure going this year. It was so much fun! On our first day we went and toured the hole in the rock museum. It was pretty cool. Then we were able to check into our cabin. We stayed in a cute little cabin just North of Moab it had running water and a kitchen! I love "camping" when it involves indoor plumbing. It also had satellite TV and wi-fi, so we really had to rough it. After getting settled in we tried to get Maylee to take a nap but she was too excited so we piled into the van and headed to the Arches National Park. These pictures (above) are from the visitor's center and that area. We did a couple of hikes before it was time for dinner. We hiked first through Park Avenue to the Courthouse towers. Next we hiked around Balanced Rock. We were lucky to be able to borrow a backpack from a friend so that we could easily pack Maylee around. When we got back we got to hang out at the pool while our dinner was cooking in the oven. After a decent night's sleep we woke up quite early and headed back to the Arches. We did several trails and spent most of our day there. We hiked to the Window's, Double arch (favorite for Morgan and I), Sand Dune Arch, Broken Arch and skyline arch. That evening after a nice nap, we headed to Delicate Arch. It was a rough hike for some of us (me-mostly) because of the sheer drop offs and the steep incline but we all made it! This was Steve and Koby's favorite arch/hike.
