A couple of weeks ago, we were feeling the travel bug. We couldn't really go anywhere for more than a weekend because I can't get work off because my manager is on maternity leave, so we decided to go on a little mini trip to Bryce Canyon National Park. We left Friday after work, met my sister Carlie and husband Danny in Lindon and started driving. After 4 hours including a stop at the fine establishement of Arby's (I had the roast beef), we arrived at Ruby's Inn where we crashed for the night. Saturday morning, we got up and went on a 7 mile hike around the park. It was fun hiking in the snow, although we all took a few spills on the trail when our feet would get stuck in knee-deep snow. After the hike, we drove to the scenic town of Tropic, Utah where we dined at the General Store. We wanted to go see Grosvener Arch (Michael had been there before and knew how to get there) so we drove to Kodachrome Basin State Park where this arch was supposedly located. Well, it wasn't there, so we ended up visiting Chimney Rock. On our way out of $6 visit to a rock, we asked the park ranger where the arch actually was. He told us (it wasn't too far off), but we couldn't get there because we needed a truck to drive through the muddy river that crossed the dirt road that led to the arch. We had plans to do some more hiking on Sunday, but we woke up to a blizzard. So we checked out of the hotel, had Sunday brunch and headed home.

That'll teach you to go to Bryce at the end of winter. :)
But a hiking trip sounds mighty fine right now. And I could totally go for some Roast Beef and General Store dining.
