It was an uneventful drive to Lake Powell. Tim stayed awake, we were safe and had no truck problems...what more could you ask for? Tim did spend the first 2 hours remembering all of the stuff he forgot so that did require a stop at Wal-mart in Flagstaff to pick up a few things. I love the drive through the Painted Desert; the red rocks are so beautiful. Northern Arizona is truly a gem! We arrived at Lake Powell and settled into our campground nicely. Lake Powell is gorgeous with all of the mountains, canyons and huge expanse of water. The campground is nice but it is the low desert so it is mostly dirt. After setup we had a big dinner and then went exploring. Just 1/2 mile walk there is a sandy beach area on the lake. The kids were all the way in the water immediately! Even though it was 7:30 at night the beach was pretty crowded. We noticed that most people were speaking another language and we kind of felt like the foreigners! We even saw a lady change into her bikini on the beach and she did not leave much to the imagination! Next it was off to explore Lake Powell lodge where the kids enjoyed the pool and spa for awhile. We went inside the lodge and looked around and Leah bought a stuffed animal at the gift shop. Then it was back to the campground. We did more in day 1 than I thought we would. I have a feeling our days here will be filled with a lot of time in the lake and then a lot of time in the pool after. Today we spent our day on the Arizona side of Lake Powell and tomorrow we will be taking the kayaks for a spin in Utah, which is only 1/2 of a mile away!
My little burritos!!!!
