I packed the car with everything we might need (including a hideous stuffed cat to remind us of the creepy kitty in the B&B where we spent our wedding night that scared us to death every time we walked by it) except the camera. So sad.
James got off work a couple of hours early and we hit the road for St. George. It turns out that it's pretty far away. We misjudged the distance and had to floor it the whole way there. No speeding tickets though. We got a room at the first decently priced hotel we found, and only got mildly lost on the way to the Tuacahn theater for our Tarzan show! It turns out that we completely missed the dinner that we paid for, but oh well. The show was awesome. The actors were really talented singers and dancers. They had erected quite the labyrinth of zip lines and there we monkeys flying all over the place during the whole show. So fun!

I think the Comfort Inn had pregnant women in mind when they designed their beds. I was in heaven with the soft sheets, supportive mattress, and about 10 squishy pillows wedged all around me. Delicious. They even made the pillows small enough that James didn't get shoved into the crack between the bed and the wall. Genius. It was so nice that we didn't set an alarm, slept through breakfast (second meal we paid for and didn't taste), and didn't even touch the pool.
When we finally did heave ourselves out of bed and back into the world (when we could hear vacuums all around, we figured they'd break down the door soon), we put on our Sunday best, (i.e. I shoved my swollen feet into something prettier than filthy flip flops) and went to the St. George Temple. I thought ahead enough to find a couple of family files to do there. It's a beautiful temple and we highly recommend it.
We had lunch at Cafe Rio for the first time since our first date. Aaawwww.

We did a little more sightseeing at the St. George tabernacle and Brigham Young's winter home before hitting the highway back home. This time we weren't in a rush, but we did manage to get a speeding ticket. The little stinker cop pulled us over for going 80 seriously 300 feet before the speed limit changed to 80mph. Whatever. We had such a fun weekend that we didn't even care.
