Weekend with the Girls

Thursday afternoon we left for our annual trip to St. George and Cedar City. We've been doing this for about five years. We try to cram as much fun as possible in a weekend and still be back home by Saturday afternoon to get ready for Sunday. I had an auditors meeting at 11:30 on Thursday....BUT as soon as I could leave I left..... I got to Salem by about 1:00 p.m. and by 1:10 we were loaded an off to pick up another friend in Payson.... We drove down to Beaver where we stopped at the cheese factory and had an ice cream cone.....then on to our Hotel in St. George. We checked in and then off to pick up our tickets. The first play was LesMiserables. What a show! It was quite a show.....very well acted and showcased the most beautiful voices. The play stared at 8:30 and ended at midnight..... Next morning we got up....did a little shopping....and "we ended up purchasing more than we could reasonably bring back in the SUV with six women and bags....so we had to improvise.....and later drove to Cedar City for "Fiddler on the Roof" This play was wonderful......Tivia was Great! We had the best seats - front row balcony.....Best Seats in the house! Powerful! We got back in the car drove to St. George grabbed a bite to eat......studied how we were going to get home our shopping buys and made a phone call to Rob - He now lives in St. George. Lucky he was home! He offered to help with the problem after breakfast Saturday morning..... Off to see Sound of Music.... Another wonderful production! A memory in the making with such wonderful friends..... We got back to the hotel tired but very happy. The next morning Rob came and helped us solve our problem.....Rob used to be the president of Utah College of Applied Technology and previously to that president of MATC..... He's always been a great friend to me and I'm grateful he was in St. George and able to help with the problem. He put our lugage on the top of the SUV and then we put our treasures in the back of the seat and everywhere there was a space. One of the girls had a favorite jewlery store....and we did partake of the bargains.....another friend knew about a boutique called Krumpet's and we did ALL partake which lead to our problem.....But WE ARE WOMEN - AND WE FOUND A SOLUTION...... We managed to get our bounty home and in safe condition! Much Appreciated Weekend!
