Birthday getaway, part 2

We had a great time on our mini-vacation. Every time we go to St. George we see signs for the Dinosaur Discovery at Johnson Farm but have never stopped. So this time we decided to go and it was quite amazing. The dino tracks are very impressive and it was an interesting side trip.  We [...]

Our February Birthday Getaway

Sue and I decided to have a getaway this weekend, starting with my birthday on Thursday. We headed south to warmer weather, which was a good thing, since it was freezing in Alpine when we left (it was supposed to be warmer later). We decided to go to southwest Utah and decided to stay at [...]
