Spring Break

We decided to actually take a spring break trip this year, and we were hoping to go somewhere warmer, so we went to Cedar City, Zions National Park, and St. George. It was warmer than it was at our house, but we certainly didn't come back with tans.

On the way down, we dropped off my ring at Jeanette's jeweler to have my diamonds reset. After 14 years, they could have fallen out sometime soon.

Then we stopped at Cove Fort. It is a very cool place from Mormon history. It was definitely worth it.

Then we slept at Abbey Inn in Cedar City. If you ever need to stay in a hotel in Cedar City, we definitely recommend it. The rooms are very nice, cute and clean, with a nice swimming pool, and a full hot breakfast in the morning.

On Friday we drove to Zions National Park. We rode the shuttle up the canyon and hiked to Weeping Rock, to the start of the Narrows, and to Emerald Pools. Thank goodness for the baby backpack. It was so much fun and really good weather, but we were worn out by the end of the day. There were lots of other people that had the same idea. We saw 3 families we know.


The funny comment of the day was a nice oriental man said to Austin, "Four girls, you are very brave, courageous."

That night we drove to St. George, had some delicious food at Texas Roadhouse and sat in the hot tub for a few minutes.

On Saturday morning, I dreamed of great outlet mall shopping. We got a whole hour in before everyone but me was back in the car ready to go, so we made our way back home.

We had a very fun trip!!

What a fun trip! We stayed at the Abbey Inn last year when we went to Cedar City. We loved it.

It is such a Kaylynn thing to run into people you know when you are 300 miles away from home.

That sounds like an awesome trip. Doug and I seriously need a vacation! We didn't take a trip last year because it was so hectic. I think maybe we'll do Grand Teton and Yellowstone...
