Day 1: Hiking Extravaganza
The long drive to ZionAt the end of the 1.1 Mile tunnel is a Canyon overlook hike, these pictures are all from that hike.
This is one of those pictures that is hysterical more for the experience than the actual picture. So we wanted to get a picture of the "cool tunnel" and we decided to ask the national park lady who was standing there. She was extremely unfriendly and almost bugged that we had asked her to take our picture. "she was like what do you want a picture of? the tunnel, the building, what?" We were a little thrown off by her abruptness that we simply just told her to take the picture. So that little thing in the back is the tunnel. Lol, gotta love some people.Emerald Pools
Our next hike was up to the three different emerald pools. I think I complained for the first 10 minutes due to the steepness of the hike. I HATE steep hikes. But once we got to the waterfalls I really couldn't complain. It was absolutely beautiful!

We ate dinner that night at Zion Pizza & Noodle and enjoyed dinner outside.Day 2: Riverside Walk, Scenic Drive & Movie
We stayed at a little Bed & Breakfast where they deliver breakfast to your door every morning. The best part is, it's not like the motel 6 "continental breakfast" it's a delicious gourmet meal! Here is our breakfast basket Friday morning. Apple cinnamon french toast & all!
Friday was our Miscellaneous day where we did a bunch of random things. We started out on the Riverside walk.
We saw deer right along the trail. They were literally like 20 feet away. That's what's in the background.
Weeping Rock
So it was really windy and the weeping rock was blowing water everywhere! It was really pretty when we were under it all, but...
...when we came down we got SOAKED! Lol, it was really funny my hat was dripping with water.
We then enjoyed lunch at the Grotto picnic area. 
The off to the IMAX movie, Wild Ocean. It was good and very educational.
Then we Hiked the Court of the Patriarchs
Those 3 peaks are considered the "Court of the Patriarchs"
Scenic Drive
Then we saw some Big Horn Sheep, Spencer was so excited! He loves animals. There were even two little babies running around.

The run-offs were absolutely beautiful and they were everywhere!
Our better "Tunnel" picture
We enjoyed the evening playing Monopoly Deal, (it's a great rendition of monopoly. A lot faster and still lots of fun) and watching Walk the Line.

This was us with our delicious Breakfast Basket Saturday morning! Scrambled eggs & a Zucchini breakfast casserole! So good! Can you tell it was morning?!?
We rented a tandem bike for a few hours before we headed home. We went along the Pa'rus trail and then up the road for a mile or so. It was honestly such a blast! I loved it, maybe more for the fact that Spencer did all the work and I just enjoyed the ride!
Spencer's Helmet Hair! Lol! I couldn't stop laughing!
Our styling leg bands
My view from the bike! :)
I drove for a little bit...lol...not, I didn't think it was a good idea nor did Spencer!
Where we stayed
It was such a great trip and I'm glad we got to get away even if only for a few days. It really was a lot of fun and I love spending time with Spencer!
