There's something about being outside in woods and trees and mountains that makes me happy. Really happy for no additional reason. John and I had an opportunity to take a driving vacation to Utah for cheap so we went. I, for one, desperately needed a break from the last several months.

Here are some of the pictures I took on my iPhone. They don't do the beauty of the area justice, but I hope you enjoy them. They're only for the first half of the week because in the second half we spent all our time with our friends Kathleen and Fred and I didn't want to stop having fun to upload the pictures here. 🙂

We really enjoyed visiting Park City. The two Banksy pieces that John found might be his favorite part of the visit. Walking around woods and forest was probably my favorite part. But a very close second to me was being able to see and hang out with my writer friend Kathleen. (Her new book The Great Cat Caper just came out!) I don't know if we've ever just had fun together without being on a writing trip. That being said, we of course had to do a little writing and brainstorming together – for fun! LOL!
