Happy Monday folks 🙂 Feels like I had a long weekend since we made a little getaway last week from Thursday to Friday. And it was awesome 🙂 It was me, my friend Linda from Sweden, Angel, Jennifer and Amanda.
First stop was in St George. When I visited the place last year, it was the first time I tried ‘beignets’. They are soooo good, so I told them that we have to make a stop there to make sure our sugar levels are kept up! Yeah, I know, I’m supposed to be sugar free, but aaaanywayyyysss… Obviously everyone loved them!
Caffeine levels had to be kept in check too and a pit stop at a state liquor store. If you are not an American reader, you might not know that in the state of Utah, you can only buy booze at these stores. Not just strut in to a gas station or a grocery store and buy your alcohol. We have the same thing in Sweden as in Utah…
We also made a stop at Gypsy Emporium which is a two story antique market. Such a cool place and unfortunately I forgot to snap pick of all the trinkets they had inside.
Finally made it to our cabin which was great. We ordered food and since it was vacay mode there was a separate order of deserts. I can easily say we overdid, bu the motto is always ‘go big or go home’!
There was also the game ‘Cards Against Humanity’, wine and then finishing the night in the hot tub before hitting our beds.
I apologize (not really), for my poor humor. There was this float thingy in the hot tub that I thought looked like a giant tampon. Too much time on my hands and this is what I came up with LOL…
I’m an early riser so I got up and made coffee. Amanda is a coffee connoisseur too, so we both had packed beans and french presses. I got to say the coffee on the porch in the sun was pretty damn perfect!
There was also goats on the property 🙂
Packed up and headed towards Zion National Park. Grabbed some breakfast and coffee in Springdale at Deep Creek Coffee. Cause there can always be another cup of coffee!
Found a cute store too and some purchases were made…
Then entering Zion National Park. Impressive mountains and had to make a lot of stops to take pics!
The road to the hike we had planned was unfortunately closed. Drove along and made a stop at an other spot and decided to see where the trail would take us. Guess we got lucky cause it was beautiful!
We made another stop and just enjoyed the views and the sun!
That pretty much concludes our little trip. It was so much fun and I’m very happy I have these great friends who are easy going, no drama and always up for an adventure 🙂
And yet again I’m making another attempt to stay of sugar! I know, I sound like a broken record! But here we go… Not too much planned for this week, but there is always shooting, we plan to check out some cool spots downtown and hit the gym and spa!
Adios from me and Hunter!
