July 20, 2021 - Fly to Moab, Utah

This was the first flight for some of us since the pandemic and we all followed the recommendation of wearing masks.  The checking-in process at the airport and flights were relatively smooth.  This was Maisie’s first airplane flight which was on the same day as Amazon’s Jeff Bazo’s first space flight.  She did a good job of experiencing her first airplane flight and just did her normal routines of eating, sleeping and playing.  

The transfer of flights in Denver had a very short window, we had to figure out gates layout at Denver airport. We managed it well and even had time to grab burgers from McDonald for lunch.  When we got to Moab, it was 103 Fahrenheit, however there was no humidity.  But it was still hot and dry.  

This was Fei and Tony’s 2nd visit to Moab and it was Jason’s family’s 1st visit to Moab.  The canyon rock formation on both sides of the road still impressed Fei and Tony.  For Jason's family, it was just astonishing to them. 

The process of checking in to Comfort Suites was normal and we got 2 rooms close to each other.  Per front-desk's recommendation, we rested a little bit and then headed out to Broken Oar Restaurant across the street from the hotel for 5PM dinner.  It is a normal American restaurant and the food was decent. After dinner, we got back to hotel and called off the day.

By the way, Talia has been interested in photography and she was the one took our first photo in Moab.
