What a day yesterday was. Got up at 6AM, got a cab at 7AM, not to the airport, but to the start of our annual spring 10 mile run. Ran it at a good clip, just under 8 minute miles. Yay me. Walked 2 more miles to our car which we parked as near as we could get the night before.
Drove home, got the kids (they had a sleepover at the neighbor's house), packed some more, got another taxi at noon, drove to the airport, got on the plane, flew 5 hrs to Vegas (thank you Nintendo), got a van, drove 2.5 hrs to St. George Utah, got our room, zonked at about 12:30AM Eastern time. Yipes, what a day.
And now, we're up. Still dark here. Gonna get some camping gear and food, then hit Zion this afternoon. I'll post pictures when possible.
One funny story for the trip to St. George. We had stopped in Vegas and gotten dinner, but didn't get anything to drink for the road. We'd started driving and the kids started saying they were thirsty. Makes sense, we're in the desert. Of course, we had no water in the car, and the nearest stop was 45 miles away in Mesquite. We kept hearing how thirsty they were, and we kept not getting to Mesquite. Anyhow, Anna had been drawing, and she said "Look at my drawings!" And what were they of? A raincloud. A tall glass of lemonade. A bottle of Dasani water. The ocean. Ha ha, very funny.
