Catching Up - Day One


Day 1


From leaving our house until getting to our room at Zion, it took a total of 14 hours! The flight time was 5 hours total. We had a two hour layover in Atlanta where we had lunch at Moe's. GInormous burrito's! Didn't have to eat the rest of the day. Course when we got to the hotel (Desert Pearl Inn), we gained three hours time due to the time difference. We took a short walk around town after putting our luggage in the room. Not a very big town at all. Springdale it's called. We were surprised how cold it was! I had to wear a fleece sweatshirt. We saw some elk that some guy kept for visitors to feed. They were huge with huge antlers. Our room was just wonderful. Beautifully decorated with hardwood floors, high beamed ceilings, and full length glass doors and windows that overlooked the pool area. The balcony had Adirondack chairs, and overlooked the pool area. We had a spectacular view of the beginning of Zion Park from this area. The pool was beautiful, and though it was "heated" it was too cold for me! The hot tub, however, was lovely and surrounded by a waterfall. All through the grounds, there were lush, beautiful perennials.
