St. George continued




So time for the next installment of our trip to Vegas. Saturday night we went to my mom's cousin Julie's house to stay. Julie and her husband Del had returned from a cruise on the Mexican Riviera about an hour before we invaded their house. I'm so grateful to them for opening their house to us, because the weekend of the Marathon you have to book hotels in St.George about a year in advance. We arrived at their house and talked for a few minutes but by then we were pretty tired after staying up all night so we turned in pretty early. Sunday morning we woke up late and watched conference and Julie made us breakfast. We all got ready for the day and then Julie took us on a drive around the community on their golf cart. We saw the community center and now I understand why people retire to St. George. It was great. About 1:00 we left their house and continued on our journey to Las Vegas. Kayla was pretty excited about this part of the trip because she'd never been to Arizona before and so she insisted we stop and get a picture in front of the Welcome to Arizona sign and then later the Welcome to Nevada sign.
