We started our drive at 4am. I was actually proud of us getting on the road on time! We hit the road and at 6am we were starving and stopped one last time at Whataburger (a texas thing) for some breakfast. I can't believe how much we have spent in a car together since our marriage... It's about 100+ hours between our trips home to Texas and Eric's family moving to St. George. And did I mention we've done every drive straight through? So this trip was a breeze! We're pros. And who else better to drive hours with than a best friend? So easy and so fun.
Eric drove 6 hours.
I drove 4 hours.
Eric drove 3 hours.
I drove 4 hours.
Eric drove 2 hours.
A complete 19 hour trip!
And we were in St. George.
This was a very relaxing trip for us. It seems like we did a lot, but it also feels like we hardly did anything we were so relaxed. That's how a vacation should feel! We stayed at my in-laws who we are so grateful for and enjoyed the pool and exploring. We concluded St. George is awesome. So many hikes to discover. We also enjoyed an evening at Tuacahn. We saw 'Sister Act' and oh was it hilarious! I was so impressed by how good the show was! Here are some pictures of Zion's National Park and adventures.
I'm lucky Eric likes these adventurous things and that he makes me try it with him.. because I end up LOVING it. We took these Ace's and a Razor out on some sand dunes. I never flipped! I came around a curve one time to Eric's Ace flipped over HAHA
I've been in caves before but nothing like these! These Lava Tubes are at Snow Canyon State Park. They were a little challenging with some drops and narrow places that left me feeling a little shaky, but that feeling passed and the feeling of exploring set it and they were really fun!
The way out! ^
I now drive by golf courses and exclaim "that looks like a fun golf course!!" HA. Guys, golf isn't boring... It doesn't have to be like what it is on tv and maybe I'm just weird, but I had a ton of fun! Probably because I only drove the golf cart around... Anyways, we had to see if we are cut out for golf! First clue if we were or not.. I had no idea there is a 'dress code'! I enjoyed watching Eric play and cheering him on! He wasn't too bad.. He could of been a lot worse haha. BUT THE VIEWS! This golf course is beautiful. The contrast of green with the red rock and mountains was very pretty. It was a beautiful day. Our new date idea is to go to a driving range!
I loved the St. George temple. It is one of the oldest operating temples and beautiful inside and outside.. I feel so much happiness when I am inside any temple, especially with my eternal companion by my side.
ZIONS NATIONAL PARK. We got here a little late in the day but I'm so glad we decided to go. Just the shuttle drive through the park is beautiful. We hiked The Narrows and they didn't disappoint. We spent about 6 hours there, but really you can spend days.
