omg i am so excited!

so in like 3 weeks it will be our 3 year anniversary.
i am such a freaking bargain hunter i got like $20+ off our BB in Moab.
so this is the order of our trip
i am so excited i have to tell someone,
and you blog readers will be excited for me!

Friday: drive to Fruita, CO, 4 hours :(
we will maybe do some quick MTB, then go to our awesome camp site right by the CO
river. we will camp out that night under the beautiful Fruita stars.
Saturday: wake up (probably at the crack of dawn, as i always do when we camp).
make some protein filled food, b/c i will need it.
MTB Fruita (if we do the day before today will be more intermediate).
Drive 2.5hrs scenic route (kathleen the BB lady told me) to Moab.
stop and do a free wine tasting at red cliffs winery and go to the Old Movie
Museum (i guess lots of westerns are filmed in Moab...(take pics for mom and david).
Then stop and fjord a couple streams on the hike: Negro Bill Canyon (per kathleen).
Then make it to the bizomb! Sunflower Hill, we have the French Bedroom
(well, by accident, b/c it was the only room available on the night we wanted).
But I asked if they gave anniv discounts, and she said they do AAA, but i said,
shoot, we don't have AAA, and she said... oh yes you do... and have me a discount!
She was sooooo nice!!!
anyways, they have a 2 person jetted tub, hot tub, awesome room, awesome food!
Sunday: wake up, eat said food, grab bikes, MTB Moab. probably all day, b/c cam will be so
excited. but it gets hot fast (desert). so we really want to be done at noon, maybe take
a lunch break and cont on to more trails.
Then we head to: Whispering Oaks; yes it looks like a shack on the outside,
but check out the inside! and it has an outdoor shower!
i didnt want to have to set up a tent after mtb all day, so that's why i chose
B&B these nights. We can grill our dinner, and chill watching DVDs or playing
PHASE 10!!!!
Monday: wake up and cook bf in the kitchen, or eat at a cute place in town.
Go to Arches National Park
depending on how much time we have (ie if cameron gets tuesday off)
we will hike around, and backpack in, and then use a topo map to navigate
and set up tent without anyone around, and stargaze :)
if we have to drive home that day, we'll probably do the 3 hour car tour, getting
out at various spots and taking cool pics of me holding up arches :)
Tuesday (optional): if we camp out in the backcountry (having to get a special backcountry
permit :)) we will eat some oatmeal to warm our desert cold bones, pack
up and hike out. then we'll drive to the canyonlands natl park.
we can see Mesa Arch there too :)
then we'll have to make to 5-6hour drive home. :(
I think it will be awesome. Can't wait for the amazinly awesome reviewed Sunflower Hill & the awesome outdoor shower (after mtb it will be nice not to sweat more in an indoor shower/bathroom)(but don't fret, it has an indoor BR too). I am so pumped for the awesome views!!! MOAB HERE WE COME!

Dude, I can't believe that Amy was your flight attendant! That's crazy!!!! See, aren't you glad that you know me? It's because of me that you got free tv! Have fun seeing your sis. She's going to be gone for 2 years? Where's she going? Your anniversary trip sounds really fun. Can I come? Probably not...that would be kind of weird, and then Cameron could really say that I am ruining his life!! Ok, see ya!
