We went to St. George (on the way down we stayed with my friends, Amanda and Jeff Nemelka, who I LOVE) and stayed at the Coral Springs Resort for three days with our friends, the Gingerys. We swam, laid in the sun, exercised, played some trivial pursuit, and had lots of fruit and good food. We went shopping and found some fun summer things for baby girl as well as explored the downtown area and found a few incredible thrift and antique shops (and some good cupcakes!). Urban Renewal is probably my new favorite store. It felt like Anthropologie and Restoration Hardware met Deseret Industries.
After St. George, us three gals went to Provo for a day to see the wonderful friends and family that I have left up there. We had dinner, talks and loves. We stayed at Hotel Olsen (Lauren and Trent's place) where the hospitality is never found lacking. The next morning we had breakfast with my brother Josh's best friend, Brian, and I discovered that Kneader's has frozen white hot chocolate and I'm extremely sad that I didn't know that when I lived near one.
After Provo we went to Salt Lake to shop and eat for a couple of days. There is not a Nordstrom (my mom calls it "The Mother Ship"), or a Cheesecake Factory in the whole state, I'm pretty sure.
All in all it was a really fun trip. St. George was really relaxing and nice while the rest of the trip was so wonderful seeing friends. I am sure I would not have wanted to go on a road trip anywhere if Regina had not learned to nurse a couple of weeks prior. Driving takes so much longer with a new baby anyway. I got mastitis on the drive down and back, but I was lucky the fever didn't last long and that my mom is the most patient, caring, and easy going person alive so traveling with her is stress-free.
I realize I should have taken many more photos of my friends.
