Monument Valley



We left Moab on Wednesday, July 15 with our new tent from LLBean - remember this the next time you are shopping for a tent.  The LLBean guarantee is the best.

We drove through Monument Valley and the Navajo Tribal Nation on our way to the Grand Canyon.  As I've mentioned, we don't do well in the heat and we all get cranky.  The constant bickering really got to me in Moab and I had my meltdown.  At one point, I literally got on my knees and said, "I am begging you - please, please, PLEASE stop fighting over every little thing or at least stop doing it when I'm with you."  We stopped at a little place in Mexican Hat, Utah, where I had my breakdown (not the car ... me.)  We then went to the Navajo Tribal Park and I bought a peace pipe and a talking stick.  We all sat down and "smoked" the peace pipe (breathing the Utah air through the pipe) and we once again promised to try to have patience with one another.
