Grand 'Ol Grand Junction

We had a fun quick road trip out to Grand Junction to visit Brandon's sister Kara. She just moved out there and is now working as a therapist for the VA. She showed us a grand 'ol time. It was so wonderful to spend some time with her and also to get out of Utah for a bit. Below are a bunch of pictures of our adventures. Friday we strolled along downtown where there is local art everywhere...it was very cool! Had some delicious Indian food for dinner.

This is a combo of the art called "Chrome On The Range"

and Brandon's imagination!

Saturday we floated in tubes down the Colorado River....My camera's not water proof so no pics....sadly. We found a rope swing and jumped off a few times. Turns out the water was a bit shallower than a tall man like Brandon imagined. He landed and hit his foot pretty hard against a rock and bruised the whole bottom of his foot and is a little bit gimpy now until it heals- but luckily it wasn't anything worse.

Then we were able to drive in Kara's beautiful Miata (a.k.a. Bebe) up the Colorado National Monument. It was BEAUTIFUL and so fun to be driving up and around those bends with the fresh air blowing and such beautiful scenery.

It was a great weekend. We really liked Grand Junction and can't wait to go back!
