The RV

Days 9-10. Zion National Park. The RV's last official stop. We drove the beast through Zion tunnel (a mile long), past Checkerboard Mesa, and into our campsite right outside the park.
We spent one day here, then a day to travel home . . . Goodbye Hoo Doo Doo Doo, Thanks for the ride.
We stayed cool during the day by tubing down the river. The guy without his shirt on got pretty toasty. We kept our bums up to avoid rocks, but occasionally got stuck, or bumped off from rapids. I took a few photos on the mellow parts. Yikes. The kids loved this, little J was really brave. He did not exactly meet the age requirement, but they made an exception for us. So nice! He had his hands behind his head most of the time and just enjoyed the ride! Daddy did all the work.






We also stayed cool with ice cream and hikes as the sun began to go down. It was pleasant at this time of night and we were able to see turkeys nesting up in the trees. Quite a sight to see so many large birds up in the trees at night.
Ice Cream
Sunset hikes
Our favorite was Weeping Rock.




Love you babe, Thanks for the adventure!!
