our son moved to Colorado a few years ago and we have been lucky enough to get to fly out and spend Thanksgiving with him each year…
it is always exciting to visit new places but I must admit I was not totally prepared for the majesty and splendor waiting for us on this trip…
we chose to explore Moab, Utah…
sunset at Island in the Sky, Canyonlands National Park was so beautiful it made me cry…
Colin gave his father a break from driving and drove us all over Colorado and Utah showing us some of his favorite places…
he had hiked and camped in this area several times before…
you can see Mr Magpie and Colin holding our traveling tea cup in the photo above…
as you can imagine we went wild snapping photos with so much beauty all around us...
the drive out to Red Cliffs Lodge for a delicious Thanksgiving buffet offered breathtaking views along the mighty Colorado River…
on our last day in Moab we woke up to freshly fallen snow which charmed and excited us anew…
as we headed back to Colorado our son took us on a bit of detour through the Colorado National Monument with even more snow and awe inspiring beauty…
I have a Flickr folder with a few more photos HERE …
thank you very much for stopping by as I join everyone over at Elizabeth’s T Stands for Tuesday
and wish you a very happy first “official” Hot Tea Day too
