After years without taking any time off, this is our first vacation that was not centered on a job change or a deployment or some other cross country move. Zion has been on my bucket list since I had the chance to work there with MARSOC. Lots of pictures to follow. Stops along the way include El Paso, Flag Staff, Grand Cayon and then Zion. A couple of days around Zion will be worth the drive. On the return trip, we will see grand kids in Midland and wind up back near Bandera TX.
Zion has been on the bucket list. This month starts the count down to when I could “retire” but reality will keep me on the employment roles past 2021. Its time to shift gears…..into 5th.
