Capital Reef Getaway

Our family needed a weekend out of town, to break up the mundane of daily life, work, chores and other responbilities, and Capital Reef National Park, about three hours SW of Salt Lake, won out. We drove down Friday after work, stayed in a hotel, went swimming, jumped on the beds and just relaxed, ate a yummy breakfast in the morning (best hotel breakfast I have ever had with a beautiful kitchen) and then spent the day at Capital Reef. We hiked a few short hikes, toured the visitor center, ate lunch by the old pioneer homestead and fed horses our left over apple cores. Saturday evening we stayed with our good friends from Peru. They have a beautiful home and were amazing hosts. It was such a fun weekend and a great recharge . . . . we were amazed that we could accomplish so much, make so many memories and have so much fun in soo little of time, in less than 48 hours.

Here are a few pictures to explain our trip . . .


Jacob wanted to climb everything, he REALLY is a monkey.

I tried to find all the holes carved out by water and weather.

Jacob was a trooper most of the time, but occasionaly wanted to be carried . .

Aren't the Chuy boys handsome?I love this picture. (Click on it to enlarge it and enjoy it even more.) Erick was the photographer.

And I also love this picture too, guess who the photrapher was? The one and only, Jacob R. Chuy -- I think he has some hidden talents budding . . .
