Memorial Day with Cindy

Cindy came down to play! It was exciting on a lot of levels, but mostly we were happy to see her. We went to Arches National Park on Saturday to show her some of the sights. It was a little windy out, but we figured it would be fine. We started at Balanced Rock:

The clouds were working beautifully! Look at how nicely they are accenting the formation. There is a little walk that takes you around Balanced Rock. We got about half way around the rock, and decided to turn around. There were reported 60mph gusts along with the 15-25mph constant winds. Sean was afraid members of the party would blow away....so we sought sanctuary in the car.

Thankfully, we have a Park Pass so it wasn't a big deal returning another day. We went out to Sean's work location, admired Jug Handle Arch and some Indian writing:

We entertained ourselves indoors the remainder of the day, and Cindy organized our bookshelf. She is so nice!

We ventured out again on Monday. Starting with a bakery breakfast:

Back to Arches we went! The wind was down to a nice breeze with gusts down to 5-15mph.
