Honestly I don't know the best time for everyone, I'm not getting much imput!

I know it's still early...but I'm obsessive about planning lol. And Melissa really does need to take the time off now.

Ok what about this?

Thursday August 12: Tour the sanctuary (1 1/2 hours) possibly volunteer after
Friday August 13 (eek friday the 13th!): Volunteer at the sanctuary (grooming, walking, feeding, etc.) Go out to dinner after
Saturday August 14: Visit a National Park
Sunday August 15: Visit a National Park

For the NP's I'm voting for Zions and the Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon...I don't think there's much to do at Lake Powell w/o a boat.
