Finally, a Vacation!

Well, we're back in Utah! It's so nice to finally be away from the hospital and we couldn't have picked a more perfect place for Greg to recover! We got here just in time for one of everyone's favorite days of the year in Tropic; The 4th of July. I absolutely love going to the town park on the morning of the 4th, right after the parade, and enjoying local talent, snow cones, sunshine and most of all (and Greg's favorite part) Navajo Tacos! A couple of days later, Greg planned a two day backpacking trip for the three of us (Greg, me and Ares). Oh, by the way, 7 months of not seeing Greg had absolutely no effect whatsoever on Ares' "Man's Best Friend" status. He was so excited to see Greg and has not left his side since we got here! Anyway, our backpacking adventure was just that. An adventure. No trails, lots of bugs, animal calls in the middle of the night (we still have no idea what was making that sound), a restless watchdog sleeping on top of my feet, then my backside, then Greg's feet, then right in the middle of my legs, my first bottle of filtered river water and treking through no man's land trying to keep up with an incredibly fit man who has been nicknamed "Superman" took their toll on me but, in spite of what Greg may think, I had a great time and the views were totally worth it. He's planning many more of these excursions while we're in Utah so I'll have a lot of pitcures to post later, but right now we're off to enjoy another Tropic favorite; The Pizza Place!
