Spring Break Fun!

Last weekend I was lucky enough to get away for a little bit with Jordan and Jennifer to St. George for a few days! We headed down Saturday morning and got there late afternoon. With the long drive, we had some interesting experiences and tried to keep ourselves entertained. We kept a documentation of the drive on a piece of paper that we taped onto the dashboard. haha We got the duck tape to hold down part of Jen's car that kept flapping in the wind so we used some extra :)

Oh the crazy things that happen when 3 college girls get together!
After getting settled into our hotel we went swimming for a little bit and then headed to the Pasta Factory for dinner. We met up with our friend Stephanie that was also down for the weekend with some friends from BYU. Dinner was yummy and it was fun to catch up and get together like old times in  high school.

So after dinner I found out that the little red phone booth that everyone always get pictures with was right by this restaraunt so we decided to have a little fun and take some pictures in it!
Next we decided to stop for some groceries and then headed back to the hotel to watch Stardust. I don't think I lasted 5 minutes before I fell asleep, but I'm sure the other girls enjoyed it :)

On Sunday we decided to find a YSA ward to attend and ended up at the Bueno Vista YSA ward. The ward was super friendly and welcoming and we had a great time! My cousin actually knows quite a few people in that ward since she grew up in St. George so I thought that was kind of fun. It's amazing how many different connections you can make with people. After church we went to the pool again to try and get some sun. Sadly for us, the weather wasn't super warm when we were down there and was kind of stormy, so we didn't get much sun. I did get a little bit of a tan line on my legs so I'll take what I can get! It was much warmer than Logan though and it was nice to wear spring clothes and flip flops! Sunday was a very relaxing day and we spent most of the day watching movies and we went for a nice drive. Jennifer is a scary driver though :) We did survive! haha

Since it rained most of Monday, we spent the day shopping. I love going to the Outlets and looking around! We bought a lot of fun things and had a great time! Here are a few pics from shopping.

Jen is a babe! But 2 belts? Definite no! haha

We thought this was a fun store for our missionaries :)
Engagement rings? haha aren't they fun to look at! ;)
For dinner, we met up with my cousin Heather and went to Outback Steakhouse! It was delicious :)

After dinner, we decided to go see Unknown at the movie theater. We had some extra time before the movie started so we decided to play some arcade games and then took some fun pics!
The movie was awesome! It kind of reminded me of the Jason Bourne movies, but the main character that's also in "Taken" did a great job!

Tuesday was our last day in St. George and we were all super sad to be leaving so soon. We packed up all our things and checked out of our hotel.

We were fortunate enough to be able to go do baptisms for the dead in the St. George temple. It was a really neat experience and the temple is so beautiful! Here are some pictures we took on the grounds.




I love palm trees!
After visiting the temple, we did some final last minute shopping and before we departed we headed to Fiesta Fun! We played some arcade games, rode go-carts (which I won ;)), played some mini-golf, and then had a picnic lunch! Of course it was a beautiful day the day we were leaving, but we enjoyed as much of the sunshine as we could. I am grateful for the chance I had to go and for such great friends who provided a lot of laughs and memories.

Love these girls! Thanks for a fun trip :)
