sometimes you just need to take a road trip

we just got back from our joyous road trip. 

it was so nice to get out of town and free our mind of work and research. 

although the wind never seemed to die down (notice the picture with our hair blown back. two seconds after that picture was taken Bear's hat and sunglasses blew off his head and the wind gust was so hard that it was impossible to stand in one spot) we had so much fun together. 

we explored/hiked around Moab, visited and spent time with family, 

ate at some delicious restaurants, and celebrated Memorial Day in beautiful Colorado.
i have a lot more pictures to share with you all, but for now enjoy some of my phone pics.
