Starting out on vacation

>> Wednesday, June 16, 2010

The next day while driving through the valley we had a contest as to who could find the most lizards. The air was chilly (60s) so they were mostly out trying to raise their body temperatures and were easily spotted while sunning on the rocks. This was one of the first and ended with a count of Greg 5, Hannah 8, and me only 2, but I did manage to photograph most of them so I win, right?
Believe it or not (those of you who know me) I got up for the sunrise! OK we had headed west and it seemed like a normal time to wake up. This was the first shot I got after I stepped out on the balcony.
The first night we stayed right in Monument Valley Utah/Arizona. Every room in the hotel faced east so you could both see the sunset on the "monuments" and the sunset behind them. At night they projected a John Wayne movie on the wall outside so you could watch from your balcony. The movie was filmed here. This is the sunset shining on the monuments.
As we left Chicago the clouds were very thick and seemed almost impossible to penetrate.

Blank Park Zoo

This was a fun picture of the zoo parakeets but, it was very hard to choose when I had so many cute ones of the kids. But you will see them much more for sure, so I went with this.

Headed Home

I am posting one picture for each day from our vacation so I can get caught up with the blog. This was taken at my husband's uncle's house. We stopped there for the night on our way back home.

Watch Your Step

We went to this beach right before sunset and there were hundreds (maybe even thousands?) of these little crabs running to get into their tunnels. They were so small (1-2 inches) and blended in with the sand. It was a little tricky to get around.

Yikes!

One of many alligators we saw at Wakullah Springs. This is were they filmed the Tarzan movies and The Creature from the Black Lagoon. There is a swimming area...and yes we went into the water, because as my niece said, the alligators "only come to that part at night because they don't like all of the splashing". That day the air temp was 99...water temp 69.
