We went to a diner for lunch and it was so hot out that we got ice cream malts too. Our thoughts were a little bigger than our stomachs...we felt a little over-malted...
(Too-much-malt faces:)
We continued on to Zion, arriving in late afternoon at our campground, which was an RV park in Virgin, Utah near Zion NP. The facilities at the campground were nice but it was crazy hot (100 degrees) and the tents were close together. It was also very noisy. That night we were between a group of French speakers who stayed up late talking loudly around their campfire, and on the other side a family with a baby that screamed and cried over and over during the night. We had to put headphones on the boys and let them listen to music to try to drown it all out. Even so, it was hard to get to sleep. We've come to dread bedtime at campgrounds because they are so noisy. If you were in an RV it would be fine, you could close the curtains and run a fan. In a tent you hear every little noise.
It all sounds soooo wonderful! (except the noisy campgrounds). When Dirk and I went to Zion, we stayed in a very nice, inexpensive motel in St. George called Dixie Sands (or something like that). As I remember it was about a half hour drive from the park. If the noise and the heat get to be too much, this might be worth considering. Keep having fun! How is the journaling going??? Can't wait to see a slide show when you get home!
