Natural Bridges and other - Js entry

Hi everybody! As you know, we're having an awesome time here in the US. We've made it as far as mid Utah and we have two days left to see more amazingness! Last night we drove well into the night through a lightning storm. It was awesome (using the true sense of the word for once), we pulled over, put the roof down and set our seats for support, then begin a long exposure photo session! We were in pitch black with the low car lights and the sound of bugs all around and a warm breeze. Then POW a fork of lightning would light up and the sky and we would be like 'WOW' and laugh about the amazing powerfullness that we had just captured. We had a great night!!!

the storm builds....

lightning and traffic..

rain and lightning..

we were not alone...

Yesterday day we were at the Natural Bridges National Park, we did a small hike down to one of the bridges and if was worth it. there were three ladders to climb down and plenty of rocks to navigate over. Reminded me of Scotland dad. Up for doing that again this year? I've been stirred to again. 

As for the rest of the trip; well we've seen, met and been to lots of places and I haven't had the thinking and planning time I thought I may want but having typed that, the plan all along was to have a holiday here and that we have. Variety is the defining word for this trip! I look forward to coming home to wolves and partaking in a presentation to the families of our trip. We have so many photos! Thank Jesus for my camera. We won't show you them all but a few more than the blog. It's time to pack up and leave for another day of exploring and experiencing! Love to all the Coates-Smiths and the Turners. Thank you for your comments, its lovely to know you're following this :) 

Love Jonathan

p.s/ Dad - Hey, I sent you an email regarding return to bournemouth/wolverhampton from Maresa's email account. We arrive on Tuesday 29th @ around 9am. The ideal would be for us to get a train to bournemouth, meet you and (maybe?!) Maresa's dad there, sort out the stuff (either leave it where it is, move it storage or take it home and then get a lift up to the midlands with you, whatya reckon?) x x xx x!
