Our First Weekend Get-away

The forecast for Memorial Day weekend was cold and rainy, so Jet and I decided to make a trip down to southern Utah. We really wanted to go camping in Zions National Park, but we soon found out that everyone else had the same idea and everything was full. So, we stayed at a five star Motel 6 in St. George instead.
We loved our trip! It was a much-needed weekend get-away, our first as a married couple! It couldn't have been more perfect. Zions is so majestic. Jet said it made him love Utah a lot more. And how could it not?


Dr. Seus must have come to Zions for inspiration.


These treasures were found after five hours of hiking up one of the mountains.

It is extraordinary that Zions emerges in all of its grandeur out of the flat desert, and yet there are more species of plants and animals found in the park than in the entire state of Hawaii.
The drive back home. Beautiful Utah.
