Utah Sunshine Spring Break Pt. 1

Well, we made it south for the second week of Lisa's spring break. Maddie was a great road tripper, and was all set up in the back seat, thanks to Lisa. The first night we stayed in SLC, and visited the aquarium before heading south to the desert. We woke to 5 inches of fresh snow in SLC but the aquarium was fun and the highlight was the "hands on tank" of sting rays and the penguins, plus some amazing saltwater tanks.

Then it was off to the desert and some sun. We were in St. George the first night and were greeted with sun and 70 degree weather. We lounged at a local park, flew a kite and took it easy that afternoon. After a long night in the hotel due to a stomach bug that hammered Michael we headed over to Zion. Lisa and Maddie were able to catch up with the Windors and the Bessonette's who had arrived earlier. We set up camp and soaked up the sun, did some short hikes, played a the beach and took in some beautiful sunsets. The last night we had a gathering of Jackson folks for dinner with s'mores to top it off. It was a great trip had by all and Maddie was not ready to leave as she threw a bit of a fit as we took down the tent. As lisa put it best on our way back to SLC from Zion, "we did ok for a 24 hr stomach bug, a 3 year old with a broken arm and a 6 month pregnant lady on a camping trip!" So, we look forward to the next adventure! Here are a few pics with more to follow.
