A sunset so vivid and warm

Forrest recently developed photos from our early fall country road trip (the one we baked all the cupcakes to fund raise for). They're absolutely stunning.

My favorites are of The Arches, in Utah. They remind me that that day was one of the best days.


We arrived at the National Park in the early evening. We'd been driving for almost 24 hours and wanted to sleep, but we'd read enough about Delicate Arch to know that we needed to see it before it got dark.


We drove along the windy roads towards the arch, racing to catch up with the sun before it set. We grabbed the last parking spot near the arch and with cameras, water, and some snacks, we made our way a mile and a half up the rugged sandstone.


The weather was incredible that day. Sunny with spurts of intense rain, and a tremendous rainbow spread out across the sky. We made it to the top just in time for the sunset. We ate a mango while we sat in it. It was magical.


That really was the trip of a lifetime.
