Southward Bound

After being home for a few days we packed up again and headed south this time. We spent New Year's Eve at my parents and had our traditional Japanese dinner that my dad cooks, it's really yummy! Lauren and Gavin tried their best to eat with chopsticks. :) Then we were party-poopers and went to bed at 10 because little kids make you tired. :)

New Year's day Chase and I headed to St. George for a little get-away and to see a good friend's new baby girl. I wasn't looking forward to the drive, but it was actually nice to be together in peace and quiet for an extended period of time and get a nap in. And I actually convinced Chase to stop at Ikea on the way down!

The motel we stayed in was...an adventure. Next time we'll splurge a little so we can get a room where the wallpaper isn't peeling, all the walls are the same color, the toilet doesn't leak, and the previous occupants clothes have been removed. Makes for good stories! :/

We met up with my two good friends growing up and their hubbies and went to dinner, we saw Meet the Mormons at the St. George Temple Visitor's Center (it was great!), went to Iceberg for shakes, fixed the taillight in the van, and shopped a little bit.

It was a fun little vacation despite the accommodations being less than relaxing!

FUN!
The Japanese dinner sounds neat...is that where he served his mission?
Glad you and Chase got away for a little bit!
