Century #4

Can you believe it? That's not too shabby for a man who has begun his 5th decade! This time we drove down to red rock of southern Utah.  Beautiful! We graciously accepted an invitation to stay in a lovely condo of some sweet friends and really enjoyed our little getaway.

 The condo was beautiful and the weather was perfect!


Walk through the courtyard and into the house...where does little goldilocks end up?
That's right...in Papa's bed!  And she was quite pleased with herself.
 This is where the baby bear really slept....well when she wasn't snuggling 
wih her Papa and Nana, that is.


Ballgames, card games and watching Molly kept us all pretty entertained.

 A giant tub just perfect for a bubble bath!
 

 One night the guys cooked us a delicious dinner that we enjoyed out on the patio with a cozy fire.


Playing on the Red Rock





Visiting the temple grounds






And the ride!
(Mark will add his thoughts here)





And when it was all over they were still smiling!!
And resting on the bench was a great thing!


 Meanwhile Molly was pitter pattering through the fountain.
 The clothes came off...

 And before long she had lured Papa and Daddy in.
What a great way to cool down.
Last morning...Steak and Eggs
and we were on the road again....

That trip was amazing. So glad you all did it. The Bike Trip looked truly breath taking (no pun intended). The views were gorgeous. So missing that part of the country. Everyone is welcome for a NEW ENGLAND visit! How about Next Fall?
Hugs!
