Homegrown Watermelon

Jesse with our 1st watermelon from our garden.  We picked it in late August. It weighed 36 pounds and tasted wonderful!  From just one watermelon plant, we got 15 watermelons....awesome!  We had tons of tomatoes too.  We were giving them away.

Arches & Canyonlands National Parks

We got to Arches National Park in Utah on May 26th.  The wind was blowing out of control.  It was difficult to walk, dust & sand hitting us with quite the force.  It made it difficult to see the sights.  We were troopers at first, taking lots of pictures, but soon grew tired of fighting the wind.  Jesse's camera had enough and shut down on him.  Glad we had 2 cameras! 

Getting to Utah ~ the wind is crazy!

Arches NP

Entrance to Arches National Park






We left Arches and headed south to Canyonlands National Park. It is a one-way in/out about 34 miles each way.  We drove in, looked around briefly and at this point we were running low on fuel, so headed back out the way we drove in. We found a station a few miles south and then decided to skip the rest of our planned Utah trip and headed back to Colorado......no destination in mind, just wandering....
