We (tonkaman, and I) wanted to have a little getaway, so we made some plans and headed to moab. We were not sure how the weather would behave, so we made a very lose itinerary, and picked some easy going adventures. We headed out from south Jordan about 9:00 Thursday morning. Our first stop was in the town of thistle. I enjoy the history of thistle, and have enjoyed seeing the flooded homes, but have never visited the slide area. So up the hill we hiked.
We walked around for a little bit, and let the kids run around. We also found some wild bears in a cave.
We we continued on our way and made a stop in Price. My son was told we might stop at a dinosaur museum, so he wore his favorite dino shirt. We couldn't disappoint him, so into then CEU prehistoric museum we went. I was actually fairly impressed with it. I had not expected a lot, after all, it was in Price, right? The exhibits were well put together, and very kid friendly.
Our next stop stop was in green river. I am sure many of you have seen the giant temple looking thing just off the freeway. When it was first erected, I figured it was someone upset with the Mormons making a mockery of their temples. I googled it, and found it to actually be a piece of land art known as the 'Ratio'. It represents a couple different math equations. I have wanted to pay it a visit for a while now.
Both trucks at the ratio.

while in green river we headed out to see crystal geyser.
With the winter hours cutting our day short, it was now dark, so we bee lined to our hotel for the evening. The hotel lady was rude and short with me, but as soon as the handsome, bearded, and rugged Derek walked in, she changed her tone and became a pleasant host.
my children got the rare chance to watch TV, so they were super excited to hit the bed in the hotel.
