Saturday November 22, 2008: We left Los Angeles at around 7.20 a.m. Jeremy drove from L.A. to Bakersfield while I talked to Mom and Dad and Dylan watched Elmo movies. After breakfast, diaper change and getting gas, I moved to the driver's seat while Jer moved to the passenger side and started working on a paper for school. We switched again in Las Vegas and arrived safely in Cedar City, Utah at around 3:30 p.m. Utah time.
The first day we just hang out and saw Grandma and Grandpa Moen's farm, the lamas, the chickens and the dogs. Dylan really enjoyed the doggies and the dogs really loved the little guy and bombarded him with doggie kisses.
Sunday, November 23, 2008: The entire family went to Zion Canyon. The trip was beautiful. After checking out the Visitor's Center, Paul drove one route through Zion. We stopped at the Checker's Mountain and had lunch and headed back to the entrance where we took a shuttle bus to explore the other route with the weeping stone.
Monday, November 24, 2008: Deborah, Dylan, Jeremy and I went to St. George. We visited the B. Young House and toured it. This was pretty interesting since we also saw cotton plants and learned why the city is called Dixie. Afterwards we walked down Main Street and checked out a quilting store. We had lunch at the Pizza Factory (yummy) and than went to the Pioneer Women House. At that point Dylan did not want to be held or sit in a stroller anymore so I ended up taking him outside the museum and let him run loose. He ended up getting on a bench that served as a fabulous backdrop.
Tuesday, November 25, 2008: Jeremy, Dylan and I drove up to Bryan Head and soaked in the breathtaking mountains and meadows. The coldest spot we reached was 37 degree. Brrr.... There was some snow covering the mountains and it looked breathtaking. Afterwards we went to Cedar City and checked out a museum, and looked at all the little stores on Main Street.
Wednesday, November 26, 2008: Jeremy's Birthday. We went to breakfast at Ihop :) and than drove to St. George and spent some time at Barnes and Nobles just relaxing and reading. They had a table with Thomas the Train set up in the Children's area and Dylan love it. It was so cute to look at him trying to figure out how the trains move. After checking out the stores in the Outlet Center we grabbed lunch at In-n-Out and than went to see the Dinosaur tracks. Afterwards we tried to find the Art Center but were unsuccessful. We ended up in an area where they had an outdoor ampitheater. The theater was set up in a way that they mountains were the backdrop. So beautiful. In the evening we all went to dinner at the Pizza Factory.
Thursday, November 27, 2008: Thanksgiving. It rained cats and dogs and we were pretty much indoors the entire day aside from walking down the street to see the horses.
Friday, November 28, 2008: We left Utah in the morning and arrived back home in Los Angeles safely. As much as I like travelling, it's so nice to be back home in your own environment.
