St. George 2011

A couple of weekends ago Brent and I took our annual trek down to St. George for running, shopping, eating and relaxing. We left Friday morning and came home Sunday evening. Things were a little different this year than in years past. Brent did the running this time while I stood on the sidelines and played the part of the cheerleader. Brent had really hoped to run the half-marathon but he's been having trouble with his knees so he ran the 5K. He set a personal record, which was his goal. The weather was great, perfect for a race. I was feeling really jealous as I stood there at the finish line. I really wanted to be running. And I probably would have, except we had Maya with us.

After the race, it was lunch and shopping. We always hit the outlets when we're down that way. Sadly for me, I wasn't really in the mood to shop so I came home pretty much empty-handed. Brent, on the other hand, came home with a stash. This is the only time during the entire year he's interested in shopping for clothes and shoes. He got what he needs and he'll be set until next year.

A couple's vacation just isn't quite the same when there is a tag-a-long. However, Maya was really good and she travelled really well. We only had to stop once on the trip down. We got lunch while I fed Maya and we gave her a brake from her car seat. We ended up stopping twice on the way home. I really thought we'd have to stop three or four times each way.
