St. George 2012

We head down to St. George every year for about a week.  We normally go around my birthday.  This year we pushed it back to the end of June because Ron's Dad's family was having a Campbell family reunion.

We found a hotel that we really like staying in.  The rooms are big enough to fit us and all of our stuff.  The pool is nice.  We were able to get some really good swim days in.  The times we went to the pool, we were lucky enough to have it all to ourselves.  Yahoo!  The kids love to swim!

We made it over to St. George Town Square one day after eating lunch at Judd's General Store.  We started off with going on the Carousel.  Emrie was not sure at first, but once it started, she loved it. 

The Water Walk is so much fun.  They have waterfalls, rivers and fountains.  The kids had so much fun.  We could have stayed all day.  Ron and I were lucky to find a nice shady spot with a table and chairs.  We enjoyed watching the kids play.  The girls really enjoyed eating their suckers that we had bought at Judd's.

Lucas had so much fun floating things down the river, running around and splashing.

We had been wanting to try this Greek restaurant, Basila's, the last several times that we have been down there.  We were happy to finally make it there.  It was a bit pricey, but the food was amazing!

Swig is one of my new favorite places down there.  We just learned about it last time we were in St. George.  It is this little walk up/drive through that has a variety of drinks, cupcakes, brownies and the best sugar cookies ever.  We went almost every day that we were there.  YUM!  Now that I am thinking about it, I am craving a cookie.

Since Ron's Dad was down there for the reunion, we were able to meet him and Kelli for dinner at The Patio.  We had never been there and thought that we would try it out.  It is an old Sonic that has been converted to a restaurant.  On Friday and Saturdays, they have a seafood boil.  That is actually why we went.  The food was yummy.

On Saturday, we headed over to the Campbell Family Reunion.  It was held at Ron's uncle, Don's, house.  He is Ron's Dad's twin brother.  He owns a home in St. George that is beautiful.  There weren't as many family members there as hoped, but it was really nice to meet the ones that were there.  The food was amazing and it was a fun day.

That night for dinner we went to Don Pedro's.  Because we had so much yummy food at the reunion, Ron and I weren't very hungry.  Ron decided to just get something small off the ala carte menu.  When they set this Chalupa in front of him, we both started to laugh.  It was huge! 

What a fun, relaxing and wonderful vacation.  We can't wait to go to St. George again.
