Zions Here We Come!

Like father like son.

Like Papa like grandson.Normally, I don’t write so much in my blog (if ever, since I haven’t updated it in over a month), but this time I’m using this section as a journal entry and will format it and print it for our personal records. If you’re like me and lack the attention span to read everything, no worries, just check out my cute pics, and you’ll get just as much out of it. Another option could be to break it up and read it over several days because it will probably be another month before I update again.

Vacation tip: When looking for ideas on where to spend a family vacation, check out Verne’s (Jed’s dad) work schedule. He works for the State Office of Education, specializing in youth prevention programs, which takes him all over the state. This last weekend he had a retreat in southern Utah, so we loaded up his van, and we were on our way.

Our first stop was in Beaver, UT, where Verne bought us icecream!


For Thursday night Verne’s “people” hooked us all up at Ruby’s Inn in Bryce Canyon City. That place is like a city within a city, with a grocery store, a few restaurants, gift shops, and of course a swimming pool.


The next day we were off to Zions National Park. We set up camp at South Campground which is just inside Zions park. (FYI, it is $16 a night.) Verne didn’t need to go to his retreat until that evening, so we spent of Friday riding the free shuttle around, and doing some exploring.
