BUT, it was a big adventure day! First an adventure up a sweet (and water-filled!) canyon to a cool desert peak, and then a plane-and-transit-and-walking adventure to get home. Ironically this is the first time in forever that James and I took transit to the airport rather than ride our bikes; otherwise I would have had a sweet ride home yesterday.

(I loved loved loved this tree that we came across in the canyon and how it held this rock so tightly the rock broke)

So, desert family adventure is over; back to our regularly scheduled Portland days;)
