Zion National Park (with stops along the way)

Went to Zion National Park this past week with dad :]

When we went, it was really nice because we went RIGHT after the first snow, so there was not a LOT of snow but enough to create an amazing contrast between the white and the red / other rocks.

We based ourselves in Las Vegas because hotel rooms there were fairly inexpensive compared to other places... overall, a very good trip.

brother and I took a quick hike behind where the tunnel was... we were 5 mins from the end but our dad was waiting in the car (couldn't find parking) and I didn't bring a jacket when i jumped out (and I left my gloves in my backpack in the room... fail) but it was nice all the same... didn't feel TOO cold with the sun and the continuous walking

Free dinner that night because they made a confusing mess with the free buffet thing for the night before :]
long story short, free dinner both nights xP

we had the "chinese" restaurant... the only thing that I thought was decent was the thousand year egg / shredded pork congee/jook

Then went to fiesta island later that day with my dad... it was a nice day, and somebody left some extra fence boards for us to burn too! here are some pictures... these pictures are all from my phone, so it was a bit difficult to capture the sunset... but the other pictures came out quite nicely

these were in the pit when we got there, but we made a little fence / wind block out of them so the fire wouldn't burn as big / uncontrollably

domain!?

hi! I dont know when I'll get a chance to take more pictures and post them, thanks to school taking over my life, but in case it wasn't noticed, I got my own domain! It was only $1.18, but that's for a year... not sure what I'll do about it later, but we will see when the time comes...
