Spring Break



               Last week for spring break I went down to St. George with my husband Chris and his cousin Matt and wife Katie. We went down for the Grand Chick-Fill-A opening. If you stay in the parking lot for 24 hrs you get 52 free combo meals. It is only the first 100 though. If more than 100 show up than they have a  raffle. There were A LOT more than 100 that showed up so they had a raffle. All four of us barely made it in. Matt was number 98.

                So we set up a tent and stayed all day in the Chick-Fill-A parking lot. It was a lot of fun. This was the 2nd on of these I have been to. Matt on the other hand it was like his 6th one. It was way warm and I got sunburned. It was only on one side though from playing four-square all day.
                After that Chris and I headed over to Zion National Park. One of my favorite places EVER!!!! We climbed Angels Landing. I have done it four time but it this  was Chris’ first time. He was so excited!! Every time we stopped he had to look over the edge and get excited. There are chains along the path so that you can hold onto them since the path gets close to the edge and you are 1,148 feet off the ground. Chris made a point to not use any of them. We go canyoneering so we are us to doing similar things without the chain to hold onto. 

                When we got to the top we stopped for a minute and had a snack while talking to some of the other people up there.  Chris had them all laughing from doing his Gollume voice from Lord of the Rings. Then we all did a Harlem Shake on the top of Angel Landing. Some guys had brought a Go Pro and wanted to do a Harlem Shake on the top. (when he uploads the video to YouTube I will put a link)

                After Angles landing we were going to do another hike but we were both fried from our sunburns (the sun takes a lot out of you) and tired from sleeping in a parking lot so we headed home early. It was a good thing to. Chris was tried and the 5 hr drive home was hard. We had to stop a lot since our little car doesn’t have a very big CNG tank. But it was easy for me I slept the whole way home.
