We headed off with some friends for a short vacation in St. George over UEA weekend. We had a lot of fun.
We were on a waitlist for a 3 bedroom condo - but it was UEA and the Huntsman Senior Games so that didn't happen. The closets in the bedrooms were HUGE so we blew up an inflatabl mattress, stuck it in the closet, and that's where the kids slept! Funny, huh?
The kids were excited to see palm trees. They kept counting them as we drove along the street. We went swimming everyday - the kids were in 7th Heaven. There were also some games at the condo and we painted some ceramics.
We also took a trip to the Gunlock Reservoir. This is the Reservoir that overflowed and caused major flooding a couple of years back. I took this opportunity to tell my kids about the Tetom Dam Flood and how we lost our home, pictures, animals, clothes, etc. Now they keep asking me to tell them that story again and again.
We had such a great time that I think we'll make this a yearly getaway - especially now that we realize it is the same distance as driving up to Idaho - but the weather is much nicer.
