spring break in st. george

We joined the masses that fled south to St. George for Spring Break. We stayed in a 3 bedroom condo which gave us plenty of room to sleep, a kitchen to prepare meals, 2 TVs, and a beautiful view from a large balcony. We drove down on Wednesday. I think 4 hour drives are just about perfect!


On Thursday we went to Zion National Park to meet up with Heather, Katie and Grandma and Grandpa at their campsite. We did the Riverwalk at the Temple of Sinawava which was a good "hike" for our large group of varying ages. Sitting at their campground afterwards, watching the kids dig in the dirt, just solidified my feeling that I am not a camper! I was quite happy to go back to my condo with running water and technology.










We did a lot of screen-watching--TV, movies, computer games, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. I read a few books. And then we (well, everybody but me) did a whole lot of swimming.



We saw lots of familiar faces from home including our neighbors across the street. We met up with them at the pools a few times, traded kids for movie watching, and had a BBQ with them and another family who lives up the street from us. They were even generous enough to let us take out their ATV for a ride. Dave feared for his life but Emma loved driving.




We left for home on Sunday morning. We listened to General Conference on the radio on the way. In between sessions, we stopped at Cove Fort to appease me, the history-lover.

It was a really nice week and I was definitely not ready for the break to be over.
