This week Kenneth has Spring Break, so we decided to take a few days off of work to head somewhere warm! We had a great time in Vegas, St. George and Zions. Here's the run down:
On Friday, 3/13 Kenneth and I headed down to Vegas to meet up with our friends, Ben, Jenalyn & their ~3 year old daughter Camalla. Kenneth was climbing buddies with Ben & Jenalyn at Snow college, and they currently live in Flagstaff, AZ and will be moving to Alaska in the summer. We love getting together and enjoying the outdoors together! We camped at a place just outside of Las Vegas (literally minutes away) near Red Rocks. Saturday we did some hiking and rock climbing. The weather was AMAZING and we all got a lot of sun and exercise. It was lovely! That night we went into town and met up with Jenalyn's sister and brother in law for dinner at a buffet in the MGM Grand. It was amazing food! Thanks guys!
On Sunday Kenneth and I watched Ben & Jenalyn do some additional climbing before they headed out that night. It was fun acting as the baby-sitter and finding things to keep Camalla occupied without letting her fall off of rocks! It was fun. After they left to head back to Flagstaff, Kenneth and I ventured over to the Las Vegas temple grounds and read for a little while. I LOVE that temple! It is gorgeous!
Monday Kenneth and I did some additional climbing in Red Rocks and it was AMAZING! We were in this little slot canyon that was packed with climbs on either side! We did a ton of great climbs - seriously one of the highlights of the entire trip! Afterwards we headed towards St. George and did some shopping and picked out another place to camp.
Tuesday we headed to Zions National Park. I absolutely LOVE this park! It is gorgeous! We did a hike and then did a crack climb. Kenneth was very excited because he has now built 2 homemade CAMs and he placed his CAM while doing this climb. How exciting! (Don't worry - it has normal protection very close to it just in case). Placing his CAM was a goal for the trip. His other goal was to take a fall on it...but I wouldn't let him...sorry Kenny!
This Spring Break trip was just what we needed! Sun, exercise, good company and a break from the norm. Gotta love vacations!
