Our Last 5 Months Part Four: Trip to the Southwest

After Christmas, Michael and I headed out on a little vacation to warmer temperatures.  Our first destination was Zion National Park in Utah.  It was one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen.  We spent our days hiking and enjoying the outdoors.  One of my favorite parts was staying at Zion Mountain Ranch.  It was complete with log cabins, roaming buffalo, and a seemingly endless sky of stars!  It was truly an escape from the hustle and bustle of Dallas.

On New Year's Day, we headed to the Grand Canyon!  Along the way we drove through the deserts of Arizona.  It was quite a long drive, but it was worth every mile to stand on the rim of the Grand Canyon to ring in the New Year and marvel in God's beautiful creation!! 

We ended our trip with a couple of relaxing days in Sedona, AZ.  We were once again surrounded by beautiful scenery of red rocks and warm afternoons by the pool :)  

We were truly thankful for our vacation!  It was precious time for us before our Baby Girl arrives in April :)
