Easter in St. George

By -

Brad and I spent last weekend in St. George for a little much-needed mini-vacation. This first photo is Brad at "the crack". I don't know how he talked me into it, but I guess it's fun to squeeze one's body through a claustrophobia-inducing rock crevice.




Andy is a freshman at Dixie, so we spent Saturday with her and her friend Hill in Zion National Park. These pictures are from the Angel's Landing hike... which was much harder than either Brad or I remembered. These are the switchbacks of death!









It's a beautiful view from the top, though!










Now, I won't pretend we exercised the whole time. Everybody knows that our vacations are always centered around food. So we couldn't get out of St. George without Egg & I breakfast (juevos rancheros!) and Nielsen's Frozen Custard (bumbleberry concretes!) at least twice a day.



Anyway - I urge everyone to follow suit and run somewhere warm while you can. I heard a rumor that snow is rearing it's ugly head this weekend. Once again... "lousy Smarch weather".

That sounds like a fetching blast!! Warm weather has my name all over it. My Nielsen's Custard eating on the other hand has had to come to a stop. Ask Megan, It does bad bad things to us. I mean BAD!

So fun! Glad you invited us... can't wait for our mini-break to Washington D.C. with you two. It will be awesome.

I'm so jealous! Every time this year we've had a weekend off (you know, one that would enable a warm weather getaway) we have to work in the basement. I've actually never hiked Zion's before. It looks like youguys had such a fun weekend! Tell Andy and Hillary hello next time you see them.

Alicia, quit teasing me. I wish I could go to DC. And Laurel, one of these days we'll find a weekend that works for both of us :)

I'm so glad you guys got to get away before your big trip. I know you were itching to get warm! Zion's looks so beautiful, that's another place I need to go!

Zion's is so beautiful. What's really exciting is that in a few weeks you get to CRUISE out of bad weather again! The rest of us will have to (darn it) live vicariously thorugh you so bring back some great pictures and even better stories. Happy vacation.

Anyone can come see us in Texas! It's in the 70's and 80's. :)
Looks like you guys had a great time in St.George! Katie's frozen custard was about 400 meters from our house but we just found out (when we walked there with the girls) that they are closed. :( I love custard.
Enough said.
