Colorado Road Trip: A Few Nights in Moab

Skip scrambling at Arches National Park!

Uncle Mike let Skip drive this very old-school tractor all around their property and he was in heaven.

I like the colors in this photo.

Tori's destination was my uncle's house outside of Denver, but she stopped the first night in Las Vegas and stayed over at a friend of her sister.  Tori doesn't flinch at staying with people she doesn't know very well, that's for sure.

The second and third nights she stayed with Uncle Mike and Aunt Mary, who live in Moab, Utah.  Uncle Mike is Tori's mother's brother, and so naturally he's a great guy who is very outdoorsy and fun.  Although I wasn't there, Tori said that Uncle Mike was great about engaging the boys in the outdoors and on the tractor.  And apparently Zadie gardened with Aunt Mary for four whole hours and said she wanted to garden at our house when they got back because it was the most fun thing in the world.

I went through Moab once on a road trip in college, but I would love to go back and stay with Mike and Mary.  They used to actually run a bed and breakfast in Moab, so they know just how to treat their guests.  Tori said they had grilled salmon and healthy veggies and of course Tori loves it when other people cook for her (since I do not).

Tori and the kids got in two very nice visits in Moab, once on the way to Denver and once on the way back.  Thanks to Mike and Mary for hosting our family!
