Last night my family and I drove down to St. George for just a quick weekend getaway. Well, Mom and Dad drove down a few days ago and Seiji, Kylie, Warden, Bailey and I just met up with them last night. We will leave tomorrow afternoon, so we don't have much time. But the drive isn't that bad! My uncle Matt is living at the house until his family joins him in a few months and they find their own place. For now, though, it is so fun to have him there to show us around St. George!
This afternoon, after a delicious lunch at Honolulu Grill, we went on a hike that gave us a beautiful view of cute little St. George. The weather is perfect, and we had so much fun being out after being cooped up all winter! Warden got a ride up the hike and looked pretty cool in his new hat.
Afterwards, we split off in groups as Warden had to nap and Matt and my dad wanted to go to the stain glass shop. My mom, Bailey, and I went to the Brigham Young House!
It was just about what we expected. Cute old missionaries showing us around and telling us stories. Pretty interesting! It was neat to see all of the wood grain that they had painted on all of the wooden slats all those years ago to make it seem like there were many different kinds of luxurious wood. Such artistry! Such available time! Also the yard was really cute.
We were shown a very old mulberry tree and told about how it was planted for the silkworms that the women liked to raise. Sad news - the mulberry tree has been deemed unsafe and will be taken down on Tuesday. We feel lucky to have seen it in time!
After Warden woke up we all went on a drive to a pretty trailhead. We wanted to get some pictures of the seven of us, since we don't really have any. We took some time getting some cute shots and exploring the beautiful area.
The night ended with a visit to Anasazi Steakhouse. It was just Seiji, Kylie, Bailey, and I which was so fun because it has been ages since we've been on a double date! We had been told how delicious this place is, but it still completely blew us away. Order a steak, preferably a ribeye, "on the rock" and they bring you out a nearly raw (but seasoned) steak on a crazy hot slab of rock so that you can sear each side and cook it through to your liking. Probably one of the greatest steak experiences of my life. They also bring you salad, mashed potatoes, and other veggies, but the steak is really just the star of the show.
We actually started our meal with cheese fondue which was so fun and so tasty! Next time, though, we may skip the fondue in order to be able to eat more steak haha.
It was such a fun day spent with some of my favorite people! It is a bummer that we will just be heading back home tomorrow, but I'm so glad we were able to all get out together. It was a much needed break amidst all of our busy schedules!
