(View of Goblin Valley from the top. Those goblin mushroom rocks are much bigger than they look here...)
We played sardines in the goblins and climbed around a lot! It was super cool! I've never seen anything like this before.... Probably because there isn't anything on this earth like Goblin Valley!!

That night we stayed in Green River at the GREATEST hotel. The rooms were huge, it was right by the river, there were cute little tables with fireplaces outside! In the morning, they had (included in the stay) a FULL breakfast where you could order omelets, french toast, pancakes, with hashbrowns, sausage, fruit, etc. It was amazing!!
Then we went to Arches! First hike of the morning... Delicate Arch. And. it. killed. me. It was a nightmare!! It's listed as a strenuous hike but everyone kept saying how easy it was. It was so not easy! I wanted to die at least 5 times. I even broke down once and cried because I was so dead. It didn't help that my parents walked WAY WAY WAY ahead of us, with the water. It was hot, I was tired, I DIED. But we got to the top and it was cool.
(Dustin at Delicate Arch. My picture was taken but I looked like death so here is my hot husband instead. Much better picture.)
I personally don't think it was worth the hike. hahaha. i will never do it again. And I was done with hiking for the rest of the day. Even the easy hikes I just stayed in the car and played my ipod touch while eating Sunchips and M&Ms to recover my strength.

That night we went to dinner in Moab at a place called Zax Watering Hole, then we headed home!
It was a fun fall break, but I'm ready for a just me and Dustin trip. Too bad that won't happen for a while. :)

I love how you almost died "5" times! haha I am a TERRIBLE hiker. In Missouri, hiking means walking on a path through the woods, so when we even hiked the Y I thought it was the most non-fun I'd ever had! haha
cool pictures!
