It was a fun drive to ikea. . .

Red Cliffs

On our last day in southern Utah we went to a really neat place called Red Cliffs, just outside of St. George. It was a short walk to an amazing spot with swimming holes, natural rock slides and narrow pools to hike through. The cliffs were amazing. We had a blast climbing them and finding all the unique places to stand and look down. Beautiful.

That's us climbing to the jumping rock, and that's Heath in midair! Kinda scary but worth it.

This is a great pic of Heath on one of the cliffs

Slidin'!

The perfect spot

This is Daniel jumping off one of the best rocks, the falls in the middle was an awesome waterslide. I rode that a few times . . .

We will definitely be returning to this little gem next time we are there.

It's Friday. . .The Philadelphia Story

It's a rainy day here in Utah. I'm in need of an uplifting classic that will make me think about summer! Thank heavens it's Friday, and after two long weekends of traveling we are glad to be staying put. Tonight we are gonna eat popcorn and make some smoothies while we watch.

An American romantic comedy, The Philadelphia Story was filmed in 1940 and winner of two academy awards including Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay.

Starring James Stewart (winner of the Best Actor Oscar), Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn; three of the absolute greatest, if you ask me. The best thing about this movie is the hilarious love triangle. Really, truly, FUNNY.

The Plot: After getting a divorce from C. K. Dexter Haven (Grant), Tracy Lord (Hepburn) a privileged spoiled beauty, prepares to marry again... however, just before her wedding, Haven and a reporter (Stewart), show up at her doorstep. From there, Tracy is forced to choose among her past love, her present love, and her new love.

I just love Jimmy in this movie, what a hunk!

I hope everyone has a great weekend. . . We are heading to a classic car show, a nephew's birthday party and lots of bbq-ing. Happy Friday!

Memorial Day at Zion

"I love southern Utah!" That's what we all kept saying on our trip there over Memorial Day weekend. It's warm, it's red, it's desert, and it's beautiful. We didn't want to leave. The night before we left we decided to stay another day! And I'm so glad we did.

My sister Liz and her husband Heath joined us as we visited some of the places where my parents spent most of their young lives. If you know my Mother at all, she loves rocks, especially red ones. Now you know why!

Zion National Park was the first stop. . .
