69/365

so i got to page on thursday evening.
spent half the day sleeping on friday since i had a bad night thursday night.
first of all, we got a room that had two queen beds.
we usually just get a king size bed when we're in a hotel
but they wanted $20 more dollars a night for a king!
so we went with the queens.

i wanted to sleep on the bed that would more
closely resemble out bedroom setup at home.
but john didn't want to sleep in that bed.
instead, he chose the one closest to the cooler/heater.

i had it set just right when we went to sleep
but he got overheated (although i have NO idea why!).
he threw the covers off and turned the cooler on
and set the temp to 68 degrees!!
and then he slept like that for hours!
HOURS i tell you!!

meanwhile,
i'm freezing.
i'm underneath the blankets with
them wrapped around me.
no part of my body exposed except my face.
and he's laying right next to me,
closest to the cooler,
with absolutely no blankets on
and his body was like a furnace!
i snuggle up next to him and it's my body that's cold.

i had freaking cold dreams,
you know,
the kind where even in your dreams your cold.

so i kept waking up.
plus the hotel had a little nightlight by the door
that freaking shined in my face like a spotlight.
aaaaannnnnd,
i was on the wrong side of the bed.

all ended in a bad night.
so i slept most of the day away after johnathan left for work.
then when he gets back,
he has the nerve to say
"i slept so good last night."
i think at one point during the night,
i might have screeched at him
"baby! you're keeping me awake!!!"
but he doesn't remember it so maybe it was wishful thinking.

anyway,
when i finally got up and ready and actually left the hotel,
i headed for the visitors center at glen canyon dam.
it was just right down the road less than a mile from our hotel.
and in case you didn't know,
glen canyon dam is what holds lake powell.

down the river a bit there's a turn off for a scenic view area.
went to it and had to walk down a slight incline to get to it.
i went off the trail a bit and came to this area.

it doesn't look so big in the picture
but it was a massive canyon.
basically cliffs.
where i'm sitting, a few yards in front of my
was a sheer drop off.

i set my camera up and hit the self timer.
seriously, after this picture snapped
i must have sat there for 20 minutes just staring.
it was so beautiful!
