Happy Birthday, Dad!

I was too inconsiderate to order your gift well in advance and too cheap to get expedited shipping, so it may not arrive tomorrow. But it will be there soon. In the meantime, here are photos from Bryce and Zion Canyons. For everyone who wasn't there, I've included the occasional caption. I couldn't recommend these two parks highly enough- some of the most beautiful places I've been. Way better than the Grand Canyon, in my opinion, which is remarkable only because it is big. My father, my brother, and I spent a few days out there between Day 1 and Day 2 of the WSOP.

This one is known as the sinking ship.

You can only see one of them but there were actually three of these little bridges crossing this narrow canyon.














This one looks a lot like a priest, if you zoom in.

My father, who commandeered the straw hat Poker Stars gave me. It definitely looked better on him.
