St George Spontaneity

Tanner and I have started to feel spring fever because it has been pretty good weather lately,  not freezing, snowing, winter, January weather that we have been expecting.  It has been nice,  but also leaving us wishing for just a little bit warmer,  so when we heard that it was going to get into the 70s in St George, we decided Friday to pack up and go there that evening .  We have been wanting to get away but then we get overwhelmed with the planning of hotels and traveling around nap time and heaven-forbid flying anywhere, so we have put it off. This trip was the most spontaneous thing we have done since Zoey was born. I think it was the lack of planning and worry time that made it possible (and the two bedroom hotel rooms we got so we wouldn't bug the babe while she slept).  We left here at 5pm on Friday and drove 2.5 hours to Beaver so Zoey could be in bed only a half hour late.  On Saturday, we played at the hotel pool and then left to drive the hour to get to St George.  Zoey only napped for 40 minutes in the car, but was a champ the rest of the day considering how tired she must have been. I should mention that she woke up at 5:45 and wouldn't go back to sleep. We didn't do much,  just enjoyed the wonderful, warm, sunny weather.  We played at the park for most of the day.  Then on Sunday, we packed up the car and drove all the way home.  It was nice because we weren't in a hurry to get home.  We stopped for an hour at lunch time in Fillmore and played outside some more.  It still only took us 5 hours to get home. No nap at all on Sunday; Zoey was practically begging for bed when the time came.  All-in-all, the trip was a huge success.  We really needed that warm weather boost.
