Visit Catalina Island: Lloyd's of Avalon

Of course we stopped to get some ice cream while on Catalina Island.  We ended up at Lloyd's of Avalon , where one of the employees told us they source the ice cream from various vendors (so it's not housemade). Cookie Monster Mocha Almond Fudge Bubble Gum Honey Churro I had the Honey Churro, which was a little too sweet for my liking. Everyone else loved the ice cream flavors they chose, however. The ice cream definitely helped to beat the Catalina Island heat! Lloyd's of Avalon 315 Crescent Ave Avalon, CA 90704

Visit Utah: Zion National Park

It was a brisk 40 degrees, but with all the hiking it did get kind of warm. 



Weeping Rock

We also went on the Weeping Rock trail.  I wasn't planning on going on the hike, even though it was short, as the shuttle driver said it was pretty steep.  However, we saw a family that took our family photo (and we took their photo) on the first little hike, and they said it was worth it to go up.

So we did.  Yes, it was steep, but it was neat to see the Weeping Rock, where water is dripping out of the sandstone.  The trail was actually closed for a couple years due to a rockfall and re-opened back in September. 

You can also drive the Scenic Route on the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway for even more spectacular views. 




We were there for about 3 hours total, and had a nice time enjoying the outdoors.  We even saw some deer!

If you are a more adventurous hiker, you can do The Narrows or Angels Landing (read about Nadia's experience on The Narrows here).
