PDW

Presidents' Day Weekend.

After a ruthless week of six exams, a brutal month of the coldest winter I can remember in whoknowshowlong, and too many sleepless nights, I happy accepted an invitation to St.G for the holiday weekend. Hopped in the car and buzzed down south for a few days with friends- some new, some old. 50 degree leisure never felt so right.

Wouldn't be a trip to St. George without a hike in Zion's National Park.  This little tyke was shooting innocent civilians on the trail head left and right.

Being in a group of 11 presented some unavoidable challenges.  Challenge #1-four of them were TERRIFIED afraid of heights. Whoops.

Sustenance. Who doesn't love a good greasy spoon that serves home made biscuits and gravy?? My thoughts exactly.

Carine again.  The best travel companion a girl could ask for.

This guy. Congrats to him on getting his mission call to the Riverside California mission.  You go, elder.
Swell times.  Swell trip.
