I'm finally coming back from my blogging hiatus. We've been to St. George twice since I last posted and it's now Spring instead of Winter. Maybe that's what I needed, some sunshine.
Our first stop to sunny St. George was with our friends Tad and Emily and Brad and Courtney. We had the chance to have a FREE hot air balloon ride...how could we resist.

Our second trip down was with our friends the Hacketts. We hiked around for most of a day in Zion National Park and enjoyed the sun by the pool. I was a perfect weekend spent relaxing with good friends!
