My friends and I decided to go to St. George after we graduated.  My friend Rachel has a condo up there and her family was nice enough to let us stay there.  With this group of friends there is rarely drama but there were some who were worried, me included.  But luckily things went smoothly.  The trip started off with driving in a hot car with AC that didn't work.  Our choices were either no talking while getting some fresh air with the windows down or suffer through the heat hearing each other's stories.  

The first night most of us went swimming and we made the best synchronized swimming routine.  The water was a strange green but we swam anyways.  We went back the next day to find out that after pouring chemicals in the pool they had to empty the pool because they didn't know what was wrong with it.  Guess we shouldn't have gone swimming...Oops.  

We spent most of our time listening to music, playing games, watching movies, or just talking.  It was Eva's birthday during the trip so we took her to Olive Garden for dinner and it was delicious.  Also we spent the afternoon at the St. George temple doing baptisms and looking at the visitor's center.  Cool experience to do with all of my friends in St. George.

Since we were so close to Zions we had to go on some hikes. It was rough starting because we lost part of the group while making the drive up there and we had horrible service so the two separated groups just decided to go on some hikes anyways and hopefully meet up later.  In my group we did Emerald Pools, or something like that, and it was HOT.  We were planning on going on another but we were all exhausted and hot.  So we decided to call it a day and go back. 

This trip was a lot of fun but definitely the perfect amount of time.  By the end of it I was starting to get a little cranky so luckily the trip ended.  But St. George was such a fun trip and was a blast spending more time with these girls!
