We woke up on day 3 in Bluff, Utah.
We couldn’t complain too much about the view from our room.
First stop of the day was a local cafe. We filled out post cards and bought over priced magnets. This was the day Daniel lost his camera…or so we thought. It was only moments after driving away from the cafe that Daniel realized he didn’t have his camera with him. Retracing our steps, asking customers, store owners and even the construction workers if they had seen anything drew up nothing. We searched for over 30 minutes (what felt like forever) and despair grew until we were convinced somebody had stolen it in the two minutes we had first left the cafe. It wasn’t until the third and final look-through of the car that Daniel’s camera appeared (safe and sound) in the trunk. Sweet relief! Camera checks were mandatory from then on!

We were so glad we decided to stop the night before or we would have missed out on the scenic drive. It was so hard not to pull over for pictures around each turn!
We passed by Mexican Hat en route to our final destination for the day.
Ok here comes my favorite part of the day– Horseshoe Bend! I talked a little bit about it on Instagram, but what I (and I know the rest of the gang did too) loved most was meeting and connecting with so many different people. Daniel noticed this couple as they were leaving, and Morgan asked them if they were up for a little shoot. I mean, you’re just asking for a photo shoot dressed with ankle boots and that hat, right?! But best of all, their chemistry was so natural; they were true naturals in front of a paparazzi of photographers. We were so lucky they were willing to get behind our camera!

Snuck in a few of Daniel’s film shots from his toy camera throughout this post.
We also met these two, founders of Live a Great Story

Then we met Lisa! She’s been traveling the world all on her own for almost 5 years! We listened to her in awe as we jotted down traveling tips and places to explore next. She also snapped this pic for us!

Bliss. Ended this day on high and ready for our next adventure.
