Lake Powell

So this past weekend we went to Lake Powell with Aarons cousins, Jake and Kyle. Friday after Aaron finished work, we made the 2 1/2 hour drive to Bayfield, CO to pick up his cousin Kyle, and then we went from there to Jake and Kelly's place to stay the night. We got there at about 9:30pm. We stayed up talking for a while and then Kyle and Aaron stayed up playing X-Box. So they got to bed at about 2:30/3am. We then woke up at 4am to make the drive to Lake Powell in Utah. After 2 1/2 hours we made it to the Lake....but Im telling you - the part of the lake we drove to - we had to drive around twists and turns and bumpy dirt roads - and you KNOW how car sick I get. I just felt like puke the whole day after that..and I definately wasnt looking forward to driving out of there back to the highway. With every bump I thought I was going to puke (probably the closest I've ever come to throwing up). Sooooo it was overcast - but the views out there are AMAZING!!! Aaron and Jake caught 5 fish each, Kyle caught 1 and I caught a big fat NOTHING. I had one fish on up to the shore and then it got off...yep I officially suck at fishing haha. We stopped off at a couple of places on the way home to see some sites...totally amazing peice of country. Aaron kept getting TOO close the edge and I was getting annoyed because I was scared he was going to fall off haha. Anyways...by the time we dropped Kyle off home and drove back to Monte Vista - we got to bed at about midnight. I could not stay up at all on the drive home, and Aaron was struggling, but we made it safe :).
