This past weekend we decided to take a short vacation to St. George. It was so nice to get away from the cold and see the sun again. I love southern Utah and have since I was a child. I love the pretty red rock and how warm it always is. I keep telling Spencer that I want to move there but that will have to wait at least until he graduates. It is just close enough to still see family but have our space.
We headed down on Thursday night after I got off work and we packed the car up. I tried to watch Cars 2 but only watched part of it before I fell asleep. Big surprise, I know. Spencer managed to watch it while he was driving. I am surprised that we made it there safely. The ride went by really fast, maybe I am just comparing it to our road trip in May where we were driving forever! I had a lot of energy when we first got there so I put the movie in and watched it all over again. I think it was one of the first nights that Spencer fell asleep before me.
The next day we woke up and went swimming with all the cousins. We got our the basketball hoop and some balls so that kept us busy for awhile. Then it was time to go golfing and test out my new clubs. I still like to hit it to the right but towards the end I was starting to get the hang of it. Spencer did great as usual and he had fun being competitive with Jason. The ground was still hard and we could barely get our tees in the ground.
After golfing we met back up with the family and went laser tagging and to get ice cream at Nielson's Custard. Then we went hiking to the Dixie rock. I was still able to fit down the narrow and Spencer was even able to also! This could be the only time that will be true because it has lost so much weight since he started taking this new medicine. Spencer loves fitting in small places. This was the perfect fit!
Such a pretty view

On Saturday we woke up and headed to Zions National Park. I had never been there before but heard so many good things about it. It was a perfect day, blue skies, no wind, and warm. We hiked Angel's Landing and it was pretty long about five miles to the top and back but it was so worth it for the amazing view. This is the time of year to do it though because there isn't as many people and you don't have to take the shuttle up the canyon.
Okay I had to put this one on here. Spencer was freaking out the whole time because we were too close to the edge. He said there was just something about it that didn't feel right. Funny boy.
On the way home we stopped at a shooting range. We had a lot of empty water bottles that we had a fun time shooting. Then we tried alligator jerky, and I actually tried it. I never try anything new. I am here to report that it actually tasted pretty good.
After the full day we headed to Cafe Rio for dinner. We took it back to the condo and had a nice dinner while watching the 49ers game and we are so glad that we did. It was such a good game and the 49ers won which made it amazing plus I had a happy husband. Sunday morning we woke up and got everything together and played a quick game of tennis and wall ball. Then we went to the visitor's center to watch Finding Faith in Christ before heading home. It was nice to get away for the weekend and spend some time together.
