We did something Spontaneous!

For Memorial Day weekend we had planned to go to Bryce Canyon.  I booked the campsite and we were all ready to go.  Unfortunately, the weather was forcasted to be awful! It was cold and raining in Bryce.  Usually that wouldn't deter us too much, but this was extreme for hiking and camping.  A high of 50 and a low of 34 was not want I would call inviting.  I was super upset when we checked the weather Friday morning.  There was no way I was going when it was like that.  So after I about cried before I left for work, Brody decided to take matters into his own hands and plan something.  He started to search out cheap flights anywhere in the near vicinity.  By some luck he found super cheap tickets to San Francisco.  I talked with Pam, who also luckily didn't have any plans that would keep up from joining her for the weekend.  So after a great deal of persuasion (I was pretty reluctant).  It's a bit stressful to take on such a trip so last minute.  We decided to make the journey.

We left Saturday morning and definitely did as much as possible in our 48 hr trip.  We were a bit delayed of course. (we hate flying) but that didn't keep us for experiencing tons!  I will simply list everything we did...because it is quite the impressive list!
