But the vacation started with the drive from Cedar City to Mesa, AZ so there was the drive through Lake Powell which Clayton had never seen before. We stopped at the dam and admired it's incredibleness.
Don't worry dad, we took some dam pictures and admired the dam boats, and ate a dam hamburger, etc. etc.Then on past the Grand Canyon, we didn't have time to actually drive through the park, but the landscape looks pretty cool outside the park from the main highway.
Flagstaff was having a monsoon. It was awesome and I decided that this will be my next home. I loved that place.
Then a quick stop in Arizona, we met up with the Nielson's met the fam's and bought some groceries, then we headed on to the border. It was dark when we arrived but this next picture is what we woke up to in the morning. This is the view off the balcony of the condo.
There was a lazy river, a waterslide, and several pools. We lived in our swimsuits. It was great.
We ventured out to the town and Clayton of course had to have a picture of this place.
We shopped in the shops, didn't buy a thing and then rented this ranger and went jeeping. I must admit I was a wuss. I was terrified the whole time. Yeah, I know, that's not like me but we also rented jet ski's. Clayton had never been on one before and he had the time of his life. We just don't have any pictures of that.

Here's us in the pool. Clayton loves that hat.
We basically went from the ocean, to the pool, back to the ocean, ate, back to the pool, and then the ocean, you get the picture. Here is Clayton and Brik snorkeling. We all went out the last morning when the tide was really low and we saw all sort of awesome fish. Kind of like finding nemo. I felt like I was on the discovery channel. And yes, just for the record, my head was under the water.
Don't ask what this is. I have no idea but it was really disgusting.

Then there were all these hermit crabs. They were so cute. Running all over the place.
Here is a jelly fish. Some lady was walking around picking them up. She told us they were argentinian jelly fish or something like that and they could sting us. None of us ever got stung though, thank heavens. We only saw them on the shore, never in the water. Kinda strange.

We did more snorkeling and swimming in the morning and then headed out. Sadly, now it's all over and we are back at home. But it was an awesome vacation.
