St. George

I've decided that I like St. George ANYTIME of year--even the dead of summer.

We took the girls south for a few days to reconnect with the Snow ancestral "roots"

and for a little rest and relaxation.

Our first stop was the St. George Cemetery to show the girls where some of

their ancestors are buried.

Of course, no trip to St. George would be complete without a little swimming

which Julia loves!

Another "must see" for the family is the St. George Tabernacle.

We've actually had a few pictures taken of the girls in this spot over the years.

The Erastus Snow Monument

Julia Josephine in front of Julia Josephine Spencer Snow's gravestone--

she was so excited about seeing this for the first time.

We drove home through Zion National Park for a few photo ops but

we really didn't do the park justice with our quick pass through.

Next time we'll be better prepared to hike and spend some more time.

It is truly amazing how many beautiful places to visit are in our backyard!
