Western Adventures

For the past 5 weeks, Ava and I have been doing a lot of traveling!

Our itinerary:
3 weeks in Boulder City, NV
2 days in Denver, CO
4 days in Moon Lake, UT
4 days in Farmington, UT
1 day in Cedar City, UT
3 days in Boulder City, NV
Then back to Denver, CO

You've seen pictures from the three weeks in Boulder City. Here is the rest of our traveling journal.


We enjoyed camping at Moon Lake, UT with Justin's family. Ava loved the dirt. Justin loved fishing.

After camping, Ava and I headed to Farmington with Justin's family. Once again, Justin had to go back to work in Denver. Too bad.

Feeding the ducks and geese with Grandma Hawes.

Ava loved Grandpa and Grandma's backyard.


She especially loved it when Aunt Brooklyn played with her.

We spent one day in Cedar City, UT at my cousin's wedding. Ava was more interested in throwing rocks outside the church. That's my little tomboy. ;)


She did enjoy some dancing at the reception.

Last but not least, we spent a few days with Grandpa Graff and family before heading back to Denver.

Ava loved playing with Grandpa Graff's quail chicks. Now we are back in Denver. Justin is on a work assignment for the summer. We'll head back to DC in late September.


For now, we are enjoying our temporary home. Many more posts to come about our Denver adventures, so stay tuned!
