41st Wedding Anniversary

This was Sunday, June 6, 2010 ... and we are in beautiful Kolob Canyon ... just off I15 near St. George. We were on our way to a business conference Dennis had in LV and decided to stop and see this beautiful place. (We always passed it by after they started charging $10 to take a look ... BUT, now Dennis has his Golden Age Pass and National Park fees are waived ... YEAH!!)

This is actually the ONLY picture we have of us ... and these are all the pictures we took of the trip!!!??? Not sure where my head (or camera) were ... but ... we have this one because we saw this cute couple trying to take a picture and Dennis offered to take it for them ... come to find out they were on their honeymoon ... and we were celebrating 41 years ... it was sweet!!

More pictures of the canyon. It is a beutiful place, and not far off the highway. (I think the sign says 5 miles ... it is just minutes away from civilization ... and so beautiful. Worth the drive, not sure it is worth the $10 fee though. There are some hiking trails if it isn't too hot!!)

Signs that they have had a wet spring ... there is still water coming down over the rocks in several places.

Oh, BTW, it was 105+ when we were here. We were heading into a heat wave for sure (115 when we got to Vegas). Good think our hotel had a pool (which I enjoyed everyday with Mike and Jodi's boys). We had a great week, and didn't have to pay for it, so that was even better. Dennis was in meetings every day but he got to take breaks and even came out by the pool to say Hi several times. He enjoyed the conference and also the break from the normal routine at work. We had fun in the evenings as well.
