Started the day with a sunrise visit to Arches National Park and loved it even with the gray skies. Love that park! Went to Mass in Moab then had breakfast at the Jailhouse Cafe. Great food. By afternoon thunderstorms had rolled in but we ventured out anyway. Visited Dead Horse Point State Park for some awesome views of the canyon then went on to Canyonlands National Park. Saw a complete rainbow arch! We hiked to Mesa Arch then we watched the sunset from the Green River Overlook. Although the canyon is not as deep, in many ways we like Canyonlands even better than Grand Canyon.

Is that a double rainbow in your picture?!? That is so amazing! Actually all of your pictures are just as wonderful – and each one reminds me of how much I miss you guys. I got to hang out with CJ at Ryan and April’s wedding this past Sunday, though! Can’t wait to see what you guys post next!
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
