seems even longer if you decide to move yourself. Is the better question here "Can my life really be packed up into a 16 foot truck" or "does my life really require an entire 16 foot truck?" I was leaning toward the 2nd question as the movers got all of my crap things packed tightly into the truck. Truthfully I was a little embarrassed and wondered if I might need intervention from the Hoarders production staff.
While moving myself via a big truck was not my first plan, my brothers offered to come out to Vegas and drive me back...and then my mom offered and before I knew it, we had a little road trip caravan planned. It wasn't too bad split over two days and were able to spend a bit of time in Zion National Park along the way.
Just a little side note here that my awesome brothers drove this beast 800+ miles without incident. I drove it less than 3 to return it and took out the left side by driving onto the top of the gas station concrete barriers that protect the pump. Yep, it was a sight to behold (and snicker at).
Before we left Vegas, a few touristy things with the family....

And Zion. I have to say that it might just be the most beautiful National Park I've ever been too. Since I'm saving most of the photos for a Lightroom class I'm taking, these are minimally edited--the sky really was that blue--photoshopped by God.
You can hike up the river canyons here...I wish we'd had time.
And Utah during sunrise. Love sunrise.

I just started reading your blog in the past year after I saw your Apple Fritter muffins all over Pinterest (my friend and I each made them and LOVED them by the way!!) so didn't realize you were from Denver! Woohoo for Denver girls! Welcome back!
What a cool photo of the street and what a cool color it is! Is that in Utah too? Love all the photos and glad you are settling in!
