Road Trip 2014: Day 4

We all slept in today. Which was good since we didn't go to sleep until 10 last night. After breakfast and a morning swim, I took the kids to the mall to get shoes while Michael went for a run. (Parker's shoes had holes and Eli's were not sufficient for the rock climbing we would be doing.). They also had to sing in the old train station again.

Then we hit the road for Moab. It was another good drive with lovely views most of the time.

We stopped in a little town called Helper for lunch and it was super quaint. 

We checked into the hotel about 4 and immediately checked out the pool since it was a hot 97 degrees outside.  We got upgraded to family suite at hotel and the room was huge.

Around 5 we left to check out Arches. It was still crazy hot out. It was amazing.  We went to the Double Arch at Windows as it said it was a good place for scampering. It did not disappoint. The kids had a blast while scaring the shit out of Michael. We kept saying it looked like Cars Land at Disneyland but real.

We are going to see more of Arches tomorrow before going to Zion on Monday. We might stop at Canyonlands on our way.
