Weekend in STG!

A 6am departure turned into a 9:30 departure. It's too hard getting up at 6 when you know you don't have to. Droped the dogs off at my parents and we were on our way. Thanks to my new GPS Katy got me for Christmas we found the hotel with ease and hit up Red Lobster for a late lunch.
After the Old Navy next door, it was to the movies to see Monsters vs Aliens. Apparently it was opening day of the Hannah Montana movie too, but after we made it through the crowd of little girls to our seats, we really enjoyed the movie. Appropriate enough for children, but with humor that adults can enjoy. See it if you get the chance.
We made it make to the hotel in time to get an evening swim in at the hotel pool. After cleaning up we went to Iceberg for a shake and fries. We hadn't realized that it was spring break until we got to Iceberg and it was full of High school kids. The over inflated sense of self worth that high school boys display is funny. They've got life all figured out. The swag this kid had in his LeBron James jersey, you'd think he were actually LeBron. Anyhow, after shakes we finally relaxed for the night.
We woke up the next morning to rain. We made it across the street from the hotel to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.
After breakfast Katy got her nails done and we visited the outlet stores, which are nothing that special compared to what we have close by in Park City, but Katy found a couple shirts at one of her favorite stores down the street at the Red Cliff's Mall.

With nothing else on the agenda and the rain stopped we headed back to swim and had the pool all to ourselves for quite a while.
We had dinner at a new place across the street from the Hilton called Player's Sports Grill. It was packed with cars when we drove by the night before so we figured it must be good, and it was amazing! Kind of like Iggy's but better. Katy got pizza with the most amazing crust I've ever tasted, and I had the mushroom & swiss burger with onion rings home made and dipped in batter. Try it next time you're in the area.
Enjoyed an amazing hotel breakfast before leaving home in the morning to make it home in time for a family Easter din din. Fun weekend away from home for a change, but we defiantly want to plan another trip back very soon and do Zion's when it's not rainy and see some plays at the Tuacahn theater. Let us know if you have other suggestions.
