Myrtle Beach!

Last minute trips are the best! :) 

I'm one of those people who loves staying in hotels. Especially when that hotel has a king sized bed and a flat screen TV. 

We had to walk 4 blocks to the place we chose for lunch. It took us 10 minutes, but felt like 30. 

After lunch, we finally got to the beach! 

We picked up Brandon's friend and drove 20 minutes to a less busier spot of Myrtle Beach to enjoy. 

By the end of our beach trip, I had sand in places that I didn't think were possible...

And to make this trip perfect, Brandon let me get a soveinor to remember our trip. Haha. 

The past 3 week have been so fun. It was basically a late honeymoon/early anniversary getaway for us. Now that we got to enjoy this summer to the fullest, I guess it's back to reality. 

UTAH!!

Seriously, Brandon and I could not keep just one schedule for our road trip. First, we pushed our trip back by half a week. Second, we decided not to camp in Colorado for the last 2 nights that we had planned for. Then, we ended up coming to Utah early. And lastly, since we got to Utah earlier than planned, we chose to leave Utah sooner than we planned. But luckily, we were able to spend 4 whole days in Utah. :) 

I may be married, but I will never be to old for YWs as long as Amber and Shelby are there. :)

Spent a lot of time with my sister's cat. 

Triple degree weather = pool time.

Mandatory stop whenever we are in town. Payson Utah Temple. The same temple we got married in.

No trip to Utah would be complete without stopping by Big Papa's Tri-Tip BBQ booth over at Fiesta Days. 

Where eternity all began...

Our Utah trip, okay our whole trip, went back way to fast and we are currently on the journey home! 

Colorado: Redstone Campground

Meredith, Colorado to Carbondale, Colorado.

I told Brandon that if there was no red in the scenery at this campground, was gonna be mad. Because in my opinion, don't name something if it has no relation to that name. But thankfully, there was red stone surrounding us. Haha.

Long story short: The camp host had accidentally double booked our site, so she moved us to another one. I'm pretty sure we got the better end of the deal. Closer to bathrooms, showers, and more private of a location. And she even gave us a free bundle of firewood for the trouble. 

Colorado: Chapman Campground

Dillon, Colorado to Meredith, Colorado.

Drove about 4 hours to our new campsite. I'm if we didn't have Izzy, I don't know if I would ever go home to North Carolina. Camping in the mountains is so pretty and so peaceful.

Tip: When Google Maps gives you the longer route instead of the usual fastest route, LISTEN  to it. If not, you get to face 30 minutes of hell on a dirt road before turning around and taking the longer, safer route. 

This is after we made it off that road alive....

Colorado: Prospector Campground

Kansas to Dillon, Colorado.

WHAT. A. DIFFERENCE.  After camping in Kentucky, I wasn't sure I wanted to camp for 4 days in Colorado, but as soon as we got into the mountains, the weather was perfect and it made me so excited to for our camping trip. :)

No road trip is complete without matching state themed sweatshirts.
