Kristan Goes to Moab

If I were to tell you I spent my birthday hiking, rafting, enjoying the great outdoors, being adventurous and sleeping in at a Super 8, would you believe me? Probably not.

Like a few of my friends:
"Get out of town! I'm impressed!"
"You went to Moab...you stayed at a hotel that doesn't have valet?!...This face, right here...this is my I'm-absolutely-shocked face."
"Try not to get too dirty!"

Or maybe you are just like my family, who laughed and joked about it for days.

Well, it's true. I spent my birthday and the last weekend before school started in Moab with some MBA marketing friends. And . . . I had a blast. Sure, I was pretty worried about what on earth I was going to wear. (I mean, seriously. It's not like I have "hiking" clothes - or shoes.) Sure, I went shopping for more "grungy" clothes. (Naturally. Any excuse to go shopping.) But it was fun.

I was waiting for this post hoping to get pictures from people, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen soon. So here are a few that I do have . . . as proof. More to come.

What? One of Dave's daughters at a motel 8? Nooo. Cute photos. I love the Ikaea shopping too. You definitely have to know what to do on your own there. And happy birthday!!
