Three Area Trip - Part One: Vegas

My parents reached out to the family last year and told us that we should all meet in St George for a few days during Spring Break. They were planning on passing through on their way home from Australia. I decided to make a full trip of it and would hit three different areas on my journey.

Thursday, April 2nd:

I always tell myself that I will not try to fly out of Chicago during the winter or during severe weather season, but then I do.


I got to the airport early (luckily the government shut down had ended, so I didn't arrive too early) and started breaking in my hiking books. I made a few laps around the airport before stopping by Garretts to get some popcorn for Katey and Emily.


My flight was a little bumpy due to the severe weather in the area, but I was able to take a nice nap, so it all worked out. I spent the next day and a half hanging out with Katey and Emily. We spent a few hours relaxing at the spa at Resorts World, which was very much needed! I was also able to see their kids and Katey's husband, Paul, who watched with kids for us while we went to dinner at Delilah.


Saturday morning (4/4) we went and got some delicious donuts. I was sad to say goodbye so soon! I'm so glad I got to spend some quality time with Katey and Emily!


I then headed to the airport to pick up my parents, so we could all drive to St George together!
