St George - October 2018

Another quick trip down south, this one to St George over fall break. 

Image

We started by stopping by Glitter Mountain in AZ where we found some shiny rocks. 

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Then we went looking for dinosaur tracks. 

Image

Image

Image

Image

We were able to stay at a neighbor's winter home.  It was amazing.

Image

Saw Matilda at Tuacahn.

Image

Hiked in Snow Canyon.  

Image

Image

Image

Looks like Ada was in a bit of a mood. 

Image

Found an arch. 

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Checked out where my parents have built a condo. 

Image

Image

Went night hunting for scorpions. 

Image

Snuggled. 

Image

Posed for pictures on the couch. 

Image

Image

And we were sad to leave the warm weather, but appreciated a great place to stay. 

Next up is a quick trip to Vegas.

Las Vegas - October 2018

Ada, Kate and I took a quick trip to Las Vegas to see a magic show, stopping on the way in St George to see The Prince of Egypt at Tuacahn. 

Image

Charging in Nephi. 

Image

We made it on time to the show. 

Image

Image

Such a great place to watch a show. Especially The Prince of Egypt with the flood water rushing down the mountain. 

Image

Had The Creperie for breakfast. 

Image

And cheered on the marathoners while the car charged. 

Image

We went straight to the Seven Magic Mountains south of Las Vegas. 

Image

Image

We found a kind photographer who helped us do a bit of a photoshoot. 

Image

Image

Obligatory mask photo.

Image

Look who's got the hops. 

Image

We went to Primm to try and ride Desperado, which at one point was the tallest & fastest metal roller coaster in the world.  It wasn't open and I don't think it ever opened since. 

Image

Checking out the strip. 

Image

Image

And the Conservatory. 

Image

Image

The nitrogen dragon ball ice cream was a hit. 

Image

Image

We went to the Nathan Burton magic show at Planet Hollywood and enjoyed it. 

Image

Had dinner at Outback Steakhouse.  This was a meal that Ada and Kate talked about for years (unlimited refills on fruit punch!).

Image

Image

And finished the night with ice cream. 

Image

Our view from Embassy Suites. 

Next up is another quick trip to St. George over fall break 2018!
