travel diary - moab, utah // day two and three

like i mentioned, day one was great.

but during the night gordon got sick.  i mean upset stomach kind of sick.

and to make matters worse little steve was also upset stomach sick.

so we started the day off slow and took it easy.

gordon wanted so badly to not be sick.  so when he felt just the slightest bit okay he said "okay let's go do something".

well moab isn't the best place to want to go and do something when your stomach hurts.

lots of bumpy dirt roads.

but gordon didn't want to ruin my trip (he's always thinking about me...so selfless).

so we decided to take a drive on what seemed to be lesser of bumpy roads to gemini bridge.

and then started the breaks...this was our lunch break.

but after lunch gordon and little steve were done.  

they both were sick.

so we made our way to the bridge, gordon rested while the dogs, brandon, and i hiked to the bridge.

and after that we slowly made our way back to camp where the sickies slepts and we waited for the next day to begin, so we could hopefully make the journey home.

which is exactly what we did.  only one other time have we had to cut our adventures early (when our tent was demolished by a wind storm).  so, needless to say, this adventure will go down in the books.

gordon felt terrible for being sick and for us to have to come home early.  

but if it was me, i sure as heck wouldn't want to be sick in the desert.

or have a child sick in the desert either.

it was out of everyone's control so i couldn't be upset.

we'll just have to go back later this year to hit the spots we missed.
