About Me Monday-Moving On
The Christmas before I turned twelve, my family moved from Quincy, WA to Kanab, Utah. My uncle Steve bought a hotel and restaurant and asked my dad to manage it for him. Turns out the hotel, Parry's Lodge is the same one the movie stars from the old western movies stayed. Whit Perry started the motel while his brother got the movies to start filming in southern Utah. Some of those movie stars include Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, Tim Conway and James Garner. My dad Is a huge John Wayne fan and so John Wayne became the main attraction at the Lodge. You can actually stay there in the same room as some of the stars!
Kanab Utah is a total tourist trap! It is one and a half hours from Bryce Canyon, 45 minutes from Zion Canyon, one hour from the north rim of the Grand Canyon, and one hour from Lake Powell. What a awesome place to grow up!!! Plus my mom was born and raised there as well so I have lots of relatives there.
