We decided to spend the weekend in St. George. It is conveniently located near Snow Canyon which happens to be a part of nature. It also happens to contain the last temple in Utah that we had not been to. So I was able to accomplish an important item on my bucket list, which is to visit every temple in Utah. We spent the morning in the St. George Temple, then spent the afternoon exploring nature.
As we drove into Snow Canyon park, there was a Wildlife Crossing sign that had a picture of a Gila Monster. From that time forward, my entire goal was to see a Gila Monster. Unfortunately, we saw exactly zero venomous lizards. It was very sad indeed.
We hiked an area where there had been an ancient volcano. I thought the volcanic rock looked super cool. I stopped to touch it. (Touching things is important) As I knelt down to touch it, I exclaimed, "This is soo cool!"
My exclamation frightened Robyn. She made a small yelp sound and backed away. I didn't understand why she was so frightened. She told me that everything I think is cool is generally gross or dangerous. I think those are her special words for things that are awesome.
See? Neither gross nor dangerous |
Perhaps these are dangerous. But not gross. |
They may be dangerous, but next to me they're precious. |
We got to frolick in nature. We discovered a few more awesome things. I came upon this pit of death.
I'm pretty sure pit of death is a technical term |
You can't see how deep it is but it was a few hundred feet down. I was too afraid to stand close enough to get a good shot because I had tripped and fallen like three feet away from it. I was fearing death at that moment. (Perhaps I understand why Robyn thinks all the things I like are dangerous.)
We came upon a giant rock (or petrified dune, or something)
When you see a giant petrified dune you climb it. I'm pretty sure that's one of the rules of nature. |
This is also a beautiful view of Robyn. |
All in all it was a great trip. I was able to recharge in nature. We were able to spend some quality one on one time together. I even got to cross an item off my bucketlist. It was easily one of my favorite Valentine's Day celebrations. But don't worry. Robyn still got flowers today.
It was wonderful! Oh and thank you for the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love Snow Canyon! And I appreciate that Robyn thinks everything that you think is cool is either gross or dangerous...
