Weekend in St. George

This past weekend Sam and I took a short trip to St. George to see my family. It is Spring Break so we decided we wanted to get away for a short weekend at the very least. We both have to work so St. George was really our only option. But it was so nice to be able to get away and enjoy somewhat warmer weather! It was mostly overcast the whole time but Friday was really nice and the temperature was still decent. Definitely warmer than here in Salt Lake. We enjoyed just simply relaxing and not having to worry about school and work. We did not do a whole lot besides playing pickleball. What the heck is pickleball you ask? Only one of the most fun activities ever! It is a mix between tennis and ping pong kind of... and maybe a little badminton too. It is played on a smaller court (about the size of a badminton court) with wooden-like paddles (maybe 3/4 the size of a tennis racket) and basically a wiffle ball. You can play doubles or singles. The rules are hard to explain not in person but it is great fun! We love playing it! (For more information visit the website for the US Pickleball Association). Sam and I played with my dad and sister Friday for like 2 hours and got a little sunburned.. we forgot how in some areas of the world you have to worry about things like that. We are used to the snow and clouds unfortunately. Later that night we went bowling with my whole family. I am not the best bowler ever but it was still fun.

Saturday Sam and I played some more pickleball and then made dinner that night for the fam. Asparagus chicken penne, breadsticks, and salad... mmmmmm!! It was mightly delicious.


We had such a fun weekend! Hooray for Spring Break!
