travel diary - moab, utah // day one

finally, an area where we can bring the dogs!
moab, utah
our friends (and new neighbors!) decided it was time to take their little one on a multi day camping trip.
we haven't stayed in a designated campsite where you have to pay and such for a very long time,
but because we like our friends and love a good adventure, we were up for whatever.
we stayed along the green river in a campsite that was actually pretty great.  neighbors were far enough away and we had the sound of a river to sleep to, and town was really close too (hello yummy food!).
we had great plans for this trip...
and day one was great!  

as soon as we rolled into moab we decided we wanted to go on a hike.  for once we left early in the morning instead of late in the night.  we wanted something scenic yet easy (it was the first time this year our dogs were going on a hike longer than a mile or two and that brandon was carrying his son in a backpack on his back).  negro bill canyon it was!


the weather was great!  briggs wanted to soak in the stream every chance he could.

the wild flowers were in full bloom.
and rocks were waiting to be sat on.

little steve LOVED his hiking backpack.  isn't he adorable!
morning glory bridge

trying to find the water source...
that red rock is slippery.
molly, our favorite bulldog.  she's so sweet and loves to play.  
too bad she scares other dogs with her over excitement to play.


after our hike we rested at camp, then went in to town for dinner.
it was a great first day.
