Zion & Bryce Canyon National Park 2020

Let’s keep it real friends, I felt like posting.
Mainly because I don’t know what to say and in the same breath I feel like I have too much to say. So instead I want to post some things that have been sitting in the draft folder that I still want to document and save in this space of mine. So, back to our trip!

This was our 3rd & 4th stop on our cross-country trip moving Eddie back to Charleston after finishing his duty station in San Diego ((you can see stop one here)). Zion National Park was, well, incredible. Bryce Canyon was also one of those places that just made your eyes sing! (yes, eyes singing, it’s insane haha)


ZION NATIONAL PARK

This park, hands down, was my favorite.
I don’t know that I can put into words how beautiful it was and how quick of a drive it is from one end of the park to the other (I think it was right around 45 minutes).
On our way to our rental (located right outside of the park entrance) it started snowing on us. It was so beautiful watching the snow come down and wake up to a chill in the air. We only did one small hike while visiting Zion as we were on a tight schedule but we did multiple drives through the park to get from our rental to the small town where we grabbed some delicious food and did a little store browsing.

Where we stayed

While scouring through Airbnb I found this little ranch/resort space that rented out cabins and it was incredible.
We stayed in this one and it was outfitted with a small kitchen, a couch and a tv, a cozy bed, and a wonderful shower!

Where we ate

Deep Creek Coffee Company – I got a lavender mocha (yummmm) and one of the most scrumptious sandwiches ever, their “Luci” bagel sandwich which has feta, hummus, avocado, sweet peppers, mixed greens, tomato, red onion and a garlic aioli. YUM YUM YUM.

Bit & Spur Restaurant & Saloon – Ok, this meal was, so freaking good. I don’t remember exactly what Eddie got but I devoured the carne asada in a way I haven’t before. Definitely grab some grub here!


BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK

After our last morning hike at Zion National Park we started towards Bryce Canyon National Park which is just 72 miles away. Along the way I had Eddie pull over for one of the (many!) rock shops so I could browse and bring home some pieces. I am so pumped to have added these bad boys to my home.

The airbnb we were staying at in Bryce Canyon recommended us stopping by this road side site called the “Belly of the Dragon” and y’all it was worth the stop! It was truly a pull off the side of the road and look for a trail and take the 10 minute detour to walk it. YES.

Speaking of the Airbnb, we were in love with it. I wish we were able to stay more than one night because the bed was so comfy, they left us great treats, and had the most perfect little kitchen for us to cook some food (we grabbed groceries on the way to the airbnb).

It was COLD here friends, like really cold. When we drove to Bryce Canyon we pulled off at an overlook that was about 8,000 feet up, super windy, and just breath taking! We didn’t get to explore too much of the park but what we saw was incredible.

I really do love seeing all the Halloween decorati I really do love seeing all the Halloween decorations in our home...it is just is so nice to have a little extra reminder of the seasons passing. 🎃

That being said these bad boy decorations will be taken down before Halloween this year (WAHHH) because we're getting our floors re-done. If you saw my stories a little while back we had another flooding situation in the downstairs closet so that's also meaning we're getting the floors refinished. 🤦‍♀️

So send me some prayers because we have to packup/move three rooms of our house to prepare in the next few weeks!

Soooooooo today's my birthday 🥳 Another year Soooooooo today's my birthday 🥳 

Another year around the sun and another birthday advice post up on the blog ((link in profile). This is seriously one of my favorite posts to write each year. 

On the docket today: a few friends swung by for a hello, doing some work, and going over the my aunt & uncles for dinner. I'm super thankful to be with Eddie this year and have time together with him and the kitties.

Speaking of kitties, I swear Loki exists he is just camera shy so Shadow is in 90% of the photos.

Oliver is over here just living his best life. 🖤

This morning may not have gone as planned but I still managed to make the best of it by getting a walk in downtown and grabbing a cup of coffee from the place @mountain_ed and I had our first date.

Also, anyone else just feeling fall so much this year?!

Is it Tuesday? Yes, yes it is. It's a hazy rainy Is it Tuesday? Yes, yes it is. 

It's a hazy rainy morning in Charleston today and I'm not going to lie I'm hardcore loving it. All that's missing is a cooler temperature and a mountain view...but i"ll take my little browning leaves peek of yellow attempting to show that fall color.

What's on your to-do list today? For me...responding to emails, getting quotes out, doing my part time job, and hunting for a client wardrobe piece WHILE MAYBE getting a table off of facebook marketplace . . . so coffee was in order.
