It occurred to me on Friday at work that me and Melissa had this whole weekend off and didn't have to be back til Monday night. This is very unusual for us. We usually have something going on. I thought it would be fun to get away for the weekend. This is very unusual for me because I like to have thing planned out. We decided to go St. George. Melissa's Aunt owns a town home down there and we called her last minute.

We left Saturday morning and got there about 6pm we had to make a lot of stops for Jackson to stretch his little legs. We got there finally and went to the townhouse we were going to stay at just to find where it was and to unload our bags. This townhouse was really nice. It was more like a really house then a townhouse because it wasn't attached to any other homes. It was a pretty nice size. Me and Melissa would be more than willing to take it off there hands and we could live there.

That night we went out to eat and did a little shopping. It was ok but when me and Melissa go on a vacation we go to do stuff we can't do at home like shopping, but that was the only thing that we could really do since it was pretty late.

The next day we went to Zion. Whenever we go down to St. George it's a must for us to go to Zion. We hiked a little and went to some places we have never been before, like weeping rock, which was pretty cool. Then we did the river walk. The water in the river was pure brown because it had rained the night before. Walking the river walk leads you to where the end of the narrows hike is. This reminded me of when I was in Scouts and actually did the narrows hike. I must have been out of my mind. I can remember when I did that hike that it seemed like it took forever. My troop did it in two days. They have spots there where you can camp. Our spot that we got was cover in daddy long legs. Everyone was freaking out. I was so tired I did care. Anyways, I am proud of doing that hike. We finished our day at Zion. Jackson was perfect he did get cranky or anything like that. We got one of the front carrying thing that you put babies in and Jackson kept falling asleep in it.


Our next part of our adventure was to go visit Steve and Tara. I like going to their house to see what Steve has done next to that house. This time he had the theater room almost finished and he demonstrated the house voice recognition. It pretty cool. I think visiting with Steve because you can tell when he ask how you're doing he really wants to know. He always wants to know what everyone is up to and he is fun to be around.


It was a much need vacation, we had a blast, It was spontaneous, which made it fun too.

Hope you enjoy the picture. - Justin
