St. George

Ryan and I were really sick of all the cold weather. We were complaining to each other about it, then Ryan says, “Let’s go somewhere warm.”

So he got online checked the weather in St. George, it was going to be in the 80’s. So we booked a room for a couple nights, and headed down the next day.

It was so much fun! We basked in the sun and enjoyed every minute of the warm sunshine.

Some things about our trip that we will remember, but that are not so fun:

*Putting a dent in the bumper of our new car that we had only had for a week. :(

*Ryan getting a 12 hour bug. Throwing up and missing out on golf so that he could stay in the hotel and rest.

*Eli drinking his chocolate milk so fast at Applebee’s that he puked it all back up 10 minutes later. (Luckily he warned me he was going to do it and I was able to rush him outside behind a tree, so that the WHOLE restaraunt didn’t have to see it).

Even with our small setbacks we were able to enjoy a nice little vacation.

The kids played hard for three days while we were there, and as a result, crashed hard on the way home.

You guys are so awesome! I keep telling Maurice we need to get away and he never takes time off work for us to take off! I am showing him this so he will feel inspired!

Fun times!! I've been wanting to get out of the cold also. Kristen keeps an open invitation, but it's so far. At least 500 miles!

oops, I meant hours not miles.
