I LOVE St. George

I was getting so tired of the cold, the snow, and especially the inversion, and my friend Brittany from work was talking all about how she was going to st George and how it was suppose to be in the 60's...Jenn (also from work) and i were way jealous...so we decided to go down too!! Jenn used to live there so she had some friends there and Lauri was kind enough to let me stay with her! :) It was one of the best weekends ever! It consisted of junk food (well for me), watching North and South, and the DIXIE DIRECT! It is this card and book that you get for about 35 dollars and has all these coupons in it, everything we did on saturday had to come from there, so we got AMAZING deals ALL day. It was freakin sweet! now I just need to go back for the "beauty" part of it.....

The day began with going to this museum that i forgot the name of...but it was all of this guys animals he has shot from all over the world and you go through different places, like africa, the tundra and asia, it was AWESOME. You get these phone things that you push the numbers on to listen to him go through the different places and about the different animals. Pictured above is me with one of my favorite animals...i guess that's what i get for growing up in south texas...aligators everywhere!!

And of course how can i not love armadillos and javelinas!! I was chased by some javelinas at girls camp one year...it was scary.

Lauri and I in the African section, near the end. When i saw the giraffe i was laughin so hard cuz it looks so funny trying to bend down just to drink the water...poor thing.

After our museum trip we went to the Pizza factory where i ran into Brittany and said hi to her, but on the way there we passed this telephone booth...it wasn't real, but i knew i needed to take a picture in it, using my own phone.. From there we went and saw the dinosaur prints! who knew that dinosaurs lived in st george, and that it use to be a lake...crazy! I wish i would have taken some pictures of that, i'll have to next time.
Next came spoon me. I can't help it, every time i say the name it makes me laugh, it doesn't help that it has signs that say "spooning hours" for their business hours and "Now Spooning" for their now hiring poster and as you leave it says "thanks for spooning" on the door. Other than the name that's dang funny, it was SOOOOOOO good. Lauri didn't think i would like it, but i really really do. In less than a week i found the one in provo and went with becci. The only thing that the provo one lacks are the t-shirts and pants that say "spoon me" on them. I want one.
By this time we were already exhausted and had to watch her nephew and niece in about an hour so we went home to relax and watch some more of north and south. When the kids got there we took them to jump n jacks. It is mainly there for little kids, but it was so much fun. The big slid was so much fun, and tryin to climb up the stairs sometimes was a bit tricky on some of the other slides...... :)

Anyway, so the weekend was amazing and we finished it off on sunday by finishing north and south...which makes me feel a little pathetic for my own love life, but still an amazing movie. :)
