Road Trip - Griswald Style

Cedar City 2010


I've been wanting to get away for weeks. Minus a 72 hour stay in a hospital last May, I haven't been anywhere for a year (not counting of course, beautiful Capser, Wyoming).

About 6 weeks ago I put my nag machine into full force. A quickie weekend for some sun down south I begged. Eventually, Ross caved and we planned a short weekend trip to see som sun, let the kids play outside, and just "let our hair down" so to speak.

Lucky for us, the weather in St. George was awesome last weekend, is looking beautiful for this coming weekend, and was crap the last 3 days while we were there.

Cold. Rain. Snow.

Just our luck.

We found some stuff to do.

The highlights:
  • rain and snow
  • Forgetting diabetes test strips and swim suits - special trip to Wal Mart.
  • The Chickmonster (his new name) taking his socks of a million times and spitting at us
  • forgetting all hair supplies.  Making do with nothing + soft water
  • eating good BBQ in St. George (Troy's BBQ)  - actually, some of the best brisket I've ever eaten.  seriously, where's "diners, drive-ins and dives"
  • going to the airplane museum - it doesn't exist anymore.  Want to buy the building?  It's for sale
  • Dinosaur Discovery Center - pretty cool
  • Outlet malls - sucketh.
  • driving 80 mph in a snow storm
  • rock hard bed
  • wild indian children - example:  eating breakfast on Sunday morning, the Chick looked at a very cute little boy, and growled at him like a dinosaur
  • pizza factory - always a hit.
Honestly, though we had a good time.  Our kids paced the hotel room like caged tigers waiting for raw meat for a few days, but we still had fun.
