Our Mini Roadtrip!

Jared and I took a much needed vacation! We both have a month left of school before the summer and we were both feeling burnt out so when I found out my old roommate was getting married in Vegas we jumped at the chance to get away! We left Friday after school and got back Sunday night. It was about a five hour drive to St George where we were staying. Jared being the good guy that he is drove the whole way. I was so glad because I HATE driving!
Our first stop was in Cedar. As most of you know I lived in Cedar for three years so we stopped to visit some of my friends that I haven't seen since I moved up north! I missed these girls so bad! They were such fun friends and luckily we keep in touch but it was good to finally see them again! This was their first time meeting Jared too. Hopefully he passed the friend test. Tamara gave her approval so I'm just waiting on Lacy and Carolyn :)
This is Tamara, Lacy, Carolyn and me! Love these girls!

Tamara had a baby last summer and I had never seen her before! Emma was such a cutie and such a good baby! She was so cute with Jare!

Tamara and Lacy! We ate at Milts this steakhouse in Cedar. I used to work there and it is so good!

Carolyn Collin and Craig! I hadn't ever seen Carolyn's baby either and he is almost a year old! He was so funny! And so cute!

Us and Emma! So cute!

That night we spent the night in St George at Katie and Lloyd's house! It was so fun! The next morning me and Jare went to Hurricane to visit some of his family that I had never met! They were all way nice and we had a good time talking to them. We headed down to Vegas that afternoon with Katie. We got down there early enough to gamble. This was the first time Jared could legally so it was a lot of fun. He won $145 on the Roulette table! We were pretty excited! I won $11.60 on the video poker and then lost half of it. Ha ha!

One of my favorite parts of Vegas... the buffets! Ha

I love food!

Jared pointing to my dad's girlfriend (Marie Osmond) So we came down south to go to my friend's wedding reception right? Well we figured we left the strip early enough to make it but something happened to Katie's phone and she couldn't connect to the internet to look up the address. I called my mom who gave the phone to my little sister to look up directions and we got completely lost! We missed the reception and had the hardest time finding the freeway to get back but oh well! ha ha!

That night we stayed at Jared's cousin Mike's house! It was way fun and then the next morning we drove into Zions. We went through the tunnel which was awesome! You'd think since I lived down there for three years that I would've gone to Zions more but honestly I went there once and it wasn't even when I lived there!

We went hiking and it was so warm! We went on the Emerald Pools loop first. It was a nice little hike!

This is the upper pools

I'm gonna start calling Jared Cliffhanger! Ha ha this picture is deceiving :)

On our hike. We're in love :)

The other hike we went on was called the weeping rock. It said it would take a half an hour but it was so short!

Just hanging out! It was such a fun trip and I had so much fun being with Jared for three days! We were sad to come back to snow! Hopefully summer will come soon so we can start warming up!!
