25 years and still going STRONG.....

It's true we just celebrated 25 years of wedded bliss as Dubb calls it!

It's weird to think back 25 years and we still LOVE to be together everyday.

In this day and age their are alot of people that can't say that, with Divorce so high I think it's pretty special to be married to Dubb for 25 years!

We decided to go to St.George we saw GREASE at Tuachan ....Amazing.

We stayed at the Temple View RV park these "Coaches" our dream RV were from all over the US and Canada.

Our picture from our RV

We went over to the St George Temple just before we had a HUGE Rain and Thunder Storm it was so beautiful. I love the picture with the clouds in the background.

We drove all around St George. I loved to see the HUGE houses and the how they built right in the mountain.

Dubb loved these palm trees. He would call them Pine Trees.

We drove to Silver Reef a small mining town north of Leeds.

We went on a tour about the town, so very interesting what these people did to mine for the silver.

My wish to have this cart CHUCK full of Turquoise.

This was a old saloon that they would have shoot outs and try to steal each others silver that was mined that day.

Zion's Canyon

The tunnel was constructed in 1930 that was the year Dubb's Dad was born.

We drove thru the tunnel it was a mile long.

We were amazing that the tunnels were made in the red rock so amazing.

Coop loved the rocks we blended in to the rocks. Everyone would stop Dubb and ask to "pet" Cooper. He was so good during the trip. He loved all the attention.

After Zion's Dubb decided to take the long way home and we went thru AZ and down to Colorado City...home of the "WARREN JEFF's CLAN. All I can say is WHOA. I tried to be open-mined but they are freaky, the homes were a mess and looked so run down kind of a sad town.

If you look really close you can see a lady with her child going into the "bishop's storehouse" and in the background was the COMPOUND

or what we thought it was it was the only nice house in town. So we thought it was Warren Jeff's place. Dubb went into a Walmart in Bloomington and saw a women in "full gear" (pioneer clothing) as he called it and I totally missed it .....DANG it a perfect photo opt and I missed it.

We drove to Esclante, UT and down to Bryce Canyon it was so pretty.

We saw so many photographers and had HUGE camera's. I would have loved to see their photos.

It was pouring rain(hence my FLAT hair) and Coop was freezing so I wrapped him in by jacket as we hiked to the different outlooks to take pictures.

I loved the clouds behind the rocks. It was thundering so loud against the rocks.

I love GREASE ever since 5th grade and I saw the movie I have always wanted to go to BROADWAY and see it but Dubb is NOWAY going to NY so Tuacahn was the next best place to go. This was on out drive thru Ivinns.

love the wild horses

Tuacahn

The Happy Couple.

Dubb was a trooper to let me sing at the TOP of my lungs to all the GREASE songs.

The Stage I was pretty bummed that they don't allow pictures or video. So this is all I could take at the play :(

Danny and Sandy

We drove thru Red Canyon and over Boulder Mountain on our way to Capitol Reef.

Boulder Mountain

We stopped to take a picture of this sign and this couple from West Virgina was there and were amazed at the mountains. They asked if we had seen very many "Mormons" and I said " I'm LDS" and they said ohhhh and then walked away. Maybe my 'horns" were showing. ha hehe
