Communing with nature & whiskey

We are in Southern Utah visiting my grandmother Becky and her beau Bill. Today, Amir and I hiked through Snow Canyon where we were, at times, surrounded by a 360 degree view of breathtaking red cliffs, petrified sand dunes and lava rocks. And nary a Mormon passed us by the entire hike. After such vigorous exercise, we hastened to the In-N-Out burger joint where Amir vanquished a Double Double (self-explanatory) and I had a Protein Lover's burger (lettuce wrapped, sans bun) and we both shared a fry. My god, that was totally worth 7ish miles of hiking/running. I think we're going to do the North Rim of the Grand Canyon tomorrow so we can have In-N-Out for breakfast guilt-free.

One of the many truly beautiful things about visiting Grandma and Bill, aside from the awesome company, nature vistas and endless supply of fodder for Mormon jokes, is that happy hour can begin as early as 9am if we feel like it. Nature and whiskey/bourbon, truly a match made in heaven. I must sign off now before my rocks completely melt with my Red Stag.
