Ups and Downs

As they say some of the best laid plans often go awry and this year we have experienced no less. When our magical bubble popped earlier this year we decided on a few things:

1. We are down, but we will not be out
2. Lean on what we know and enjoy best (family, friends, and travel)
3. If someone pees in your Cheerios, throw it in their face (ok no one said that, but I was tired of cliche quotes)

The point is we are going to make the best of it because the alternative is, rightly so, too damn depressing. For obvious reasons we didn’t want to just be sitting around the house when our expected D-Day was going to arrive. So we got busy planning for the rest of the year on what to expect when you are not expecting.

Taking another glance at our goals for this year and adding a new one once we learned you couldn’t do when expecting (swim with whale sharks), we set out to Zion’s National Park.

Quite a difference in water level since our last attempt

Wall Street – The narrowest spot on the Narrows

Getting to the Landings & Points requires a bit of climbing

Perhaps the true Narrows of Zion’s
