We have not taken a real vacation for a while because of my medical issues over the past five years. I've been healthy, so we took a vacation to Utah and the Zion and Bryce canyons.

We stayed in Springdale, near the entrance of Zion. We took a couple of jeep tours around Zion and spent a day in the park. At Bryce we rode horseback down the canyon. A great way to see the park, but these old bones did have some troubles from the ride. We flew into Las Vegas and drove to Zion.

That way Susan has now been to Las Vegas! The drive was fine, unlike a couple of weeks earlier then the travelers were delayed up to twelve hours because a flash flood took out Interstate 15.
