CoLoRaDo!!

Well Jordan and I had a super adventurous weekend to say the least!!!  It all started on Wednesday night, the day before we were supposed to leave for a family reunion in colorado.  I had realized that I had NO idea were the reunion was going to be, I knew it was in the mountains somewhere, but I didn't even know which mountains.  So I proceeded to call everyone in my family, but everyone was already at the campsite and had no reception.  So Jordan and I left on thursday morning with a general idea of where we were supposed to go.  Luckily, about five hours into the drive I got a text from my dad with directions, and after a few wrong turns we made it!
 On friday morning we went to Mesa verde.  Mesa Verde is a national park that contains over 600 cliff dwelling indian ruins.  It was really cool, but really HOT! And we could not for the life of us figure out, of all places someone could live, why they would choose to live on a cliff side, very dangerous and inconvenient.
Friday night we had a visitor at our tent.  My cousins had seen a bear earlier in the day, so when we went to bed I was very freaked out.  Luckily I don't think our visitor was a bear but rather a raccoon.  It was still really loud and kept rubbing against our tent and we were too afraid to open our door to see what it was.  So we lied very still until we feel asleep.
The next morning Jordan and I went on what was supposed to be about a 15 min fourwheeling ride.  But there was some miscommunication of what trail we were supposed to take.  Pretty soon we were VERY lost.  We ended up being gone for about 3 hours, by some miracle we made it back to our campsite and decided we were done with four wheelers for the trip.
We ended the camping trip with a very beautiful hike to a river.  Our nights were filled with yummy food and singing my the campfire and our mornings were filled with relaxation and delicious breakfasts.  But by Saturday we were tired of sleeping in the tent and decided to leave that night and stay in a hotel in moab to finish up our vacation.  We were lucky to get everything packed up right before rain started to down pour!! Once we made it to Moab we were very disappointed to find that EVERY hotel was full!! I've never seen so many NO VACANCY signs.  So we finished the long drive to Provo and ended the vacation a day early.
All-in-all it was such a fun vacation! I really love my family and I learn so much from them, I can't wait till the next reunion!
