Moab: Day 1

WARNING: 4 days in Moab = 379 pictures of the King children
VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK OF DIRE BOREDOM

We arrived in Moab on Wednesday afternoon, after taking a most circumvented route through the big towns of Scipio and Salina, to name but a few. This happens if you miss the turn off near Spanish Fork and don't realize it for another 20 miles. It's a good thing our children enjoy long car rides and side trips through exciting places.

Our first afternoon we spent walking around Moab, getting a feel for the city. The children were so happy to be out of the car that they eagerly posed for the obligatory "WE ARE ON VACATION AND MUST TAKE A MILLION PICTURES TO PROVE WE WERE HERE" pictures.  Here are a few more:

Evidently S and B were not as excited about posting for pics as C and G.( Every party has a non-poser that's why we invited them). Other exciting highlights of our first-day-ever-in-Moab included eating at La Mexicana Fiesta restaurant (I'm pretty sure it was authentic) and swimming in the highly-chlorinated hotel pool and sshhh-ing the kids to sleep that night in the hotel room. They were so excited about the free hotel breakfast the next morning they could hardly sleep!

WONDERFUL!! All of the posts and pictures are fabulous!! We did that trip when we first moved here and haven't been back since. I think we might have to go again soon!

I was wondering how that side trip to Salina came about. :) Good thing you like small towns.

In all my goings to Moab I have never walked around town.

We have many a non-posers in our family. I love it...

Awesome pictures! I'm so glad you know all about Salina now so you can fill in Larry on all the hot spots when he goes there next week! Haha! Looke like Moab was a blast minus the non-posers. (Another way Ben and Maddy are alike!)
