St George - October 2018

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


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





Then we went looking for dinosaur tracks. 





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


Saw Matilda at Tuacahn.


Hiked in Snow Canyon.  




Looks like Ada was in a bit of a mood. 


Found an arch. 







Checked out where my parents have built a condo. 



Went night hunting for scorpions. 


Snuggled. 


Posed for pictures on the couch. 



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. 


Charging in Nephi. 


We made it on time to the show. 



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


Had The Creperie for breakfast. 


And cheered on the marathoners while the car charged. 


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



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



Obligatory mask photo.


Look who's got the hops. 


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. 


Checking out the strip. 



And the Conservatory. 



The nitrogen dragon ball ice cream was a hit. 



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


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



And finished the night with ice cream. 


Our view from Embassy Suites. 

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