The Trip: Day 1
Some of you may know that I'm taking a vacation...most likely the last one for at least a year (unless I win the lottery...). I'm taking this vacation with my parents; they are taking their last vacation for two years as they are going on a mission in August. Well, I'm several days into it and at a point where I can update the first few days; will attempt to get at least to San Antonio (updating my update - we are mere hours away from leaving San Antonio so that won't happen).
Day 1
We left on Tuesday, bright and early, and our destination was St. George, Utah. Along the way we stopped off in Richfield to visit with my mother's friend Janell (they have been friends since school). I've met Janell only twice, but I really like her -- she makes porcelain dolls, she has thousands; her husband makes ships, he doesn't have quite so many; I love porcelain dolls and ships! I told her I have begun collecting Harlequins and she said she has one in her "doll morgue" and when she finds it she will give it to me! Yay!
After leaving Richfield we went to St. George, checked into the motel and then went to the Jacob Hamblin house. After that, we went to Ivins to visit my father's cousin Barbara and her 16-year-old decrepit poodle...
I didn't get a whole lot of pictures in St. George but here are some of the ones I did get. NOTE: Some of the pictures throughout this trip will be rather poor quality...two reasons for that - first, the camera is having issues with the auto focus (grrr); second, some of the scenery ones are taken in a moving vehicle.

BELOW: The ridge outside my motel. I saw some critter running along the top there. It looked like a dog, but that would have to be a dog of epic proportions for me to have seen it so clearly - a fact I didn't fully appreciate until we were heading out of town and I got a closer look at the ridge.
