we took a weekend trip to explore St George, Utah
and Zion National Park.
It 
was the most beautiful place I've ever been - incredible - highly recommend it!

first night we camped at a nearby lake, but the second night we were able to get a spot in the park.

after 
a long drive we stopped to stretch our legs at a little park. There was a super-cool rock to climb. 
(and there were lizards to chase.)

We stopped at Costco in St George to fill up on food for camping and grabbed hot dogs for lunch. All the drinks were offered in caffeine-free versions! and there were no chocolate muffins! hmmm...
we explored the area around St George - 2 lakes and various parks. at one point, driving down a pretty regular looking suburban street, we passed 4 mormon meeting places ("churches"). there was one for every block! (obviously my first trip to utah
)
)
camping the first night was extremely windy and cold. the kids slept great, but scott & i were up constantly with the variety of unusual sounds and the tent blowing down occasionally (meaning more than once!)
Zion is breathtaking! we hiked about 9 miles total in our 3 days. 
we definitely would like to return to Zion and this time of year was perfect as the snow-melt made for rushing rivers & streams, and the spring temperatures were a lovely 68-75 during the day - perfect for lots of hiking.
