An All-American Weekend


As one of our many weekend trips before school came to an end, we spent a long weekend in Parawon, UT with the Toshimas. They invited us to enjoy an All-American weekend with them at their parent’s home down in southern Utah. The weekend consisted of four-wheeling through to hills of Parowan. Taylor naturally was fearless right from the start and was riding all over whereas I had to get past a slight bout of terror before I could enjoy myself. We also took some calm rides to the red rocks to see some fossils and petroglyphs, we roasted marshmallows up by the Parowan “P” on the hill, played games, ate meals on the porch and ate the biggest burrito I’ve ever had at one of Parowan’s few restaurants. It was a quant town, one tiny grocery store, a few gas stations and no fast food. We rode the four-wheelers everywhere around town instead of the car. It was a fun experience to take our minds of our looming finals and enjoy time with some good friends before we had to say good-bye.
             
                                        




We took a really fun side trip one afternoon to Bryce Canyon since I had never been. Talk about amazing nature, the park was jaw-droppingly gorgeous!
