    The Utah tourism board should totally be paying yall! I can't say I've ever really thought about visiting before, but your pics are so beautiful. Thanks for the daily photo feature - love it!

  • 2. Melissa said:

    Beautiful!! This is why I love fall.

  • 3. Ty said:

    Beautiful! I miss real fall leaves!! We don't have many trees that change colors in the fall in Texas!

  • 4. LadyBug said:

    Wow, what a nice place for...you know, reconvening procedures and such.

  • 5. beachgal said:

    Another beautiful picture. I'm still so jealous of your talent, both writing and photography, not to mention your wonderful husband. Mine's not so bad, but he's no Jon, that's for sure.

    And your newsletter yesterday about had me crying. I totally relate to the teething issue. My little angel turned demon when he started teething, and now that he's got eight teeth, he's finally getting a little back to normal. Hang in there with it, Dooce.

    Lots of love, from Myrtle Beach.

    It looks amazing there - I hope the fabulous scenery wasn't TOO much of a distraction ;)

  • 7. kara said:

    oooooooh....
    that's pretty.

  • 8. sab said:

    ahhh Fall....

    Will you stay with me, will you be my love

    Obviously he knows about the procedure too.

  • 10. Angela said:

    Beautiful! Your pictures are wonderful. You are very talented.

  • 11. slick said:

    wow. that looks gorgeous. i'm jealous. the leaves on the trees are still green here in boston. they probably won't change either. they will just fall off their branches and die on the ground. stupid city trees.

  • 12. Emily said:

    That is some purty right there.

  • 13. Andrea said:

    Friggin' gorgeous.

  • 14. katy said:

    Makes me want to take a break from snacking on cheeks and jump in the picture!

  • 15. Joe said:

    Wow... that's beautiful.

    It was probably a mistake to look at this picture while I'm listening to a boring lecture in a windowless room. Now all I want to do is run out of the room screaming "I must go to nature!!!"

  • 16. Kristen said:

    I can't wait to see what your camera does for that stretch of Utah along I-70. I remember that being the most gorgeous part of my cross-country drive out to L.A. Especially during thunderstorms.

  • 17. Liz said:

    I may have to go to Utah.

    Oh, something made me think of you. Actually the Mormons made me think of you, but...you know. I attend OU (the University of Oklahoma as opposed to anything else it could be) and my roommate and I were driving around campus and I spotted boys in suits. So, immediately my window is down in preparation to yell something that could possibly win a heart while I'm saying to my roommate "Boys in suits! Boys in suits!"

    "Mormons, Liz. Mormons."

  • 18. red said:

    mmmmmmmm fall. pretty.

  • 19. tangoali said:

    I still see fire and destruction. I truly am a morbid creature.

  • 20. jen said:

    wow - it makes me sad that i live in houston

  • 21. Lindsey said:

    Ohhhh, Very Romantical, I could Totally 'Reconvene' There :)

  • 22. jennifer said:

    now if that doesn't inspire reconvening the procedure, i don't what.

  • 23. heather said:

    yes i do love park city. did u get any pics of the artist moose?

  • 24. Manda said:

    So beautiful. It's a pity you didn't see more of the view, what with all of the "sleeping" you did. :-)

  • 25. Fleece said:

    The Daily Photo is such a great idea and yesterday's and today's picture are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Dooce.

    Also, Leta is growing up to be quite a cutie. She's got bright, sparkling eyes. And..uh..sorry about the teeth.

  • 26. HazelEyedPisces said:

    Definitely worth a thousand words. I so enjoy the Daily Photo.
    And, Leta is absolutely scrumptious. My children both did the "cluster teething" thing. If you're looking for a good spin to put on it, it's efficient! Two birds with one stone and all that...

  • 27. Chanelbaby said:

    Being a Navy brat I had no idea the Midwest was SO. FRIGGIN. BEAUTIFUL. Wait, is Utah the Midwest? Shall I go crawl under a rock now? MOUNTAINS BABY. These are stunning.

  • 28. Danika said:

    Beautiful. Reminds me of the mountains in Alberta/British Columbia. Such amazing views.

    At least Leta is 8 months old when getting her first teeth. My niece is just over two months and it looks like she is ALREADY getting a tooth!

  • 29. samantha said:

    Leta has been cute since she graced the earth with her presence, and I look forward to and so enjoy the monthly updates. And as someone who's been to Utah for four summers in a row, it's truly one of the most beautiful places in America. I recommend everyone take a nice trip!

  • 30. margaret said:

    I like this website, but the naked worshipful adoration from your groupies kind of scares me sometimes

  • 31. Seattle Bon Vivant said:

    Looks dreamy!

  • 32. CursingMama said:

    Makes me want to knit a wool sweater; Of course it wouldn't fit, would be poorly constructed and certainly wouldn't be done till this time next year (if at all). Or, curl up in front of a roaring fire and commence some procedural work.

  • 33. Sue from Ohio said:

    Autumn is wonderful! The trees here in Ohio are starting their yearly change. We aren't quite as far in my neck o' the woods as Utah but we're getting there...great pictures.

    Also, Leta and the teeth..my kids all got/still getting theirs like that and I'm glad because it was a shorter 'crab' fest around here than if they would have come in one by one. Good Luck!

  • 34. DG said:

    "Jon and I spent the next five minutes picking pine needles out of my panties."

    Mmm. Alliteration.

    Ps. ARF! :)

  • 35. ella's ma said:

    My daughter "teethed" for 6 months before those things came in. Right now we're working on molars. Holy crap, I never knew how painful it could be for both of us. She gets baby tylenol for the toothaches, I get mama sized Motrin for the whine-induced headaches.

  • 36. Kelli said:

    More naked worshipful adoration from your groupies:

    DOOCE! I just love your 'new' site and the pictures (My God! The Pictures!!) and the stories (MY GOD! The way you tell stories!) and even the comments from your other worshipful adoring groupies! (even if some of us are wearing clothes and aren't all that naked at the moment)

  • 37. The Mighty Jimbo said:

    if it weren't for that whole "weather" thing i would be tempted to trade in the beach for the mountains again.

  • 38. dr. dave said:

    Lovely picture. It's so evocative, I can almost feel the pine needles in my ass!

    :)

    If I weren't sitting here with a boobie hanging out and a baby in my lap...i'd jump up and say "woo hoo! fall!"

  • 40. zebob said:

    Check out the bling bling of that phat foliage. Shout out from the Bay State to my leaf-peeps in the Beehive (?) State!

  • 41. lorna k said:

    Perfect place to "reconvene the procedure"

  • 42. ranae said:

    i enjoyed your peeing in the woods story. once i was fishing with my parents and my dad had to poop and we were in the middle of the lake so he hangs his butt over the side of the boat and poops and out of nowhere 3 old ladies in a boat drive right by his naked, hairy, pooping butt. on another fishing adventure my mom had to poop and so my dad drove the boat up to a small island where there were obviously no people. she goes to a wooded area and is squatting - in mid poop really when she notices these little glistening pellets - she knows it is moose poop but why is it so glisteny? the answer to her question would be because the huge bull mooose standing 3 feet in front of her just left those glistening pellets.

  • 43. Mir said:

    Wow, that is such a gorgeous landscape. And now thanks to your entry I can almost picture you 'way up in the corner there, peeing furtively. This is not an image I WANT to have, but now I can't make it go away. Gah.

  • 44. Lori D said:

    INTERPOL! And green, smokey wood. Great stories. I've got three embarassing pee stories, but I'll spare everyone. So happy that you had a great weekend. With Interpol!

  • 45. MelissaS said:

    Logan stayed here! I told you he went to Park City and Moab for a photo shoot and this is the place he stayed in Park City.

    He had the hot tub/fireplace room....all. to. himself. Nice.

    But, he did not flash a young child his arse and he also did not fill his room with smoke.

  • 46. song said:

    Beautiful. I'm surprised you stopped to admire the view in between napping and reconvening the procedure though.

    (I am getting in trouble for repeatedly asking the boy if we can procedure anytime soon)

  • 47. Jazzy said:

    Wowee cazowee! Hope you enjoyed every minute.

  • 48. Amanda said:

    Screw the pine needles. How did you not pee all over your self? Have you ever used baby wipes after taking a poop? They are heaven.

  • 49. anna said:

    Funny stories about poop, okay.

    Earnest, serious poop advice? No thank you!

  • 50. Eddeaux said:

    Hilarious. Naked, Worshipful, Naked and Worshipful and laughing OUT LOUD at my very quiet desk at work.

  • 51. jelene said:

    just as the poster said up above, i laughed OUT LOUD at the bare white a$$ post.. too funny!

    utah is gorgeous... i hope to visit that state one day.

  • 52. Amanda said:

    Dear Anna a.k.a Poop Nazi...Is poop advice "icky" or something?

  • 53. Nobody said:

    Jon, the next time Heather has a problem with the website, tell her to check the flue.

  • 54. Cristina said:

    I am so so happy for you! Smoke aside, it sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. Arent naps with your favorite person the best? oh, the spooning, I love the spooning. Champagne at 1pm? Fabulous.

  • 55. Melissa said:

    That's it. I'm moving out west.

  • 56. K said:

    I too am loving every single second of the new Interpol cd. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who listens to it again and again. I'm on the verge of obsessed, I'll admit it.

  • 57. Cristina said:

    two things
    a) be thankful that Leta's teeth arrived post-breastfeeding. My best friend tells stories about how she bit her mother's breast and drew blood. The horror!
    b)When I was very young, we took a family road-trip/vacation. Caught in a similar situation, we stopped by the side of the road to pee. My brother caught it on film. For. All. Posterity. Be thankful they were strangers.
    I dont think the fiance has seen that picture of me yet, but I am sure my dear brother will remedy that.

  • 58. Peter Hentges said:

    I say again, Fall rocks.

    Sounds like a lovely weekend. But don't worry, you'll be able to sleep like that again ... when you're, like, 80.

  • 59. daisies said:

    Its an absolutely stunning photo ... have inspired me to plan a weekend in the rockies before the snow flies : ) thanks!

  • 60. Mr.Jake said:

    I've been addicted to your photo section. I have to tell you, who ever the photographer is, sure has a skill for Art.
    Thanks for sharing you wonderful photos.

  • 61. Super Turtle Girl said:

    So nice! I think I'll go walk in the woods this weekend.

  • 62. Karen said:

    I feel you are my conjoined twin, separated from birth. Not because of the peeing thing (although, the similarities are striking), but the fire alarm thing.

    My husband daughter and I just got back from a wonderful vacation in Santa Fe, NM. Where we had a kiva fireplace. Which we lit. And promptly set off the alarm.

    But hey -- it ain't a vacation until the fire department shows up.

  • 63. ashley said:

    being nice at hotels does pay
    once our room was given to another man WHILE WE WERE STILL IN IT!
    we left to go around the town and came back to a guy trying to get into our room and he explained that the room was given to him, he hardly spoke any english. his family was in the room next door. so! i put on the im so friendly attitude that i get paid to do every day and i get ourselves a suite! i pay only 70 dollars ( my friend lyn worked for the company but at a different city )and get a suite!

    always be nice.

    But it's so fun to be a bitch.

    Hi,

    I didn't know what a Cheerio was. So I surfed around and found this guy with way too much spare time.

    Love the site,

    here in singapore where i live, it's summer all year round! :\ but towards the monsoon season at the end of the year certain trees do shed their leaves, but it's really rare. boo. :(

  • 67. George said:

    If only all of utah was this beautiful.

  • 68. DeAnn said:

    That view is amazing.

    I am kind of surprised that they have sushi there, though, in the middle of the mountains!!

    Amanda...HAHAHAHA POOP NAZI! Good one! I'm going to have to use that....it's not copyrighted, I hope...YOU'RE FIRED!
