I was working on a patient just the other day and was taken back when she said, “I am taking my daughter to the mall for some back to school shopping.”
I had to think for a moment about what she said and then responded, “Is it already that time again?”
For those of you who are just like me in disbelief that the summer is quickly coming to an end, please check your calendar and catch up as I had to do. It’s a sad reality that the dog days of summer and our ability to take a vacation are dwindling quickly and will soon be coming to an end.
As I was thinking about what to write about, I thought what a better opportunity than to write about an idea for one last “hoorah” for a family vacation. Granted all of our national parks are amazing, but there is one, centrally located in the western states, that should not be missed…Bryce Canyon National Park.

I visited there about five years ago and had sent my mother pictures of my excursion to help her with ideas of what to write about. She, with the natural writing talent she had, articulately encompassed the details of the landscape and the formations of what makes this park so unique. Her article is also one, not to be missed.
So before the summer ends and with one more long holiday weekend coming up the beginning of next month, I wanted to give you one more idea of where you may want to take your travels. And since I have already been there, know the beauty of the area and how that affected me, I only have one question to ask of you…”Hoodoo you know, that wouldn’t want to go?”
