St. George











Darrin and I took a nice little vacation to St. George this last weekend. My friend Briana was getting married in the St. George Temple, so we thought we'd take the opportunity to spend some time together and take a road trip! We had a lot of fun. My Grandma lives down there and was kind enough to let us use her place and we had it all to ourselves. We drove down Thursday night and so Friday was the first day we really got to do anything. First, we went to the St. George Homeshow at the Dixie Center which was pretty cool. We learned about lots of new inventions (or at least we hadn't heard of them) to make a home sweeeeet. Most everything was quite pricey though, so maybe someday. After that we went to see if the outlet mall had any good finds. They did! My favorite find was my business slacks I got for a buck!!! Sweet. After that we had dinner at Village Inn. Saturday was the wedding. For any who have not been to the St. George temple, it is beautiful. There is just a special feeling inside and out and the temple so SO WHITE! We both agreed that we don't think we've seen a temple so white before. After the ceremony they had a nice luncheon and reception combined. It was small and personal, but very nice. Saturday we decided to sleep in, and lounge around and then we went to the rodeo that night. We traveled back to Salt Lake on Sunday (Darrin's Birthday) and continued on through the day with Birthday festivities. Above are some pictures of our trip!

Ha ha, I like the palm tree above Darrin's head. It looks like a funny hat! :)

Yeah - McKinley thought the tree was Darrin's hair. cute pics, though. Love the shades. You're too young, but I totally remember when those were in style.
