Here’s a photo of us leaving the hotel in St. George to drive out to Tuacahn.  We saw Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” which was really good and had wonderful sets and costumes.  We also saw “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” which was super fun.  It was set in St. George and started with the Narrator telling her one-room schoolhouse about the story of Joseph and the brothers were local farmers, the Ishmaelites were bikers, and Joseph gets sent to Egypt which is Las Vegas.  It was totally hilarious.  Potiphar was a casino owner, his wife was a Marilyn Monroe look-alike, and the Pharoah was Elvis, of course.  It was so fun!  When the brothers remember “Those Canaan Days”, they sat at an outdoor movie and watched a B&W of themselves.  So clever.  The whole show was great.

After enjoying two days there, we headed off to New Mexico to see where Scott is living when he’s not with us in Alpine.

We went down to Las Vegas to see Star Trek: the Experience and did some other fun stuff while we were there like, M&M’s World, the Secret Garden at the Mirage Hotel, and Brian braved the roller coaster at New York, New York.  We also had dinner one night at the Rainforest Cafe at the MGM Grand and saw the lions there.  Scott had to spend some of the time at the hotel working, so me and the boys wandered on our own some of the time.  (click on a photo to see them all larger)

On the way home from Vegas, we stopped off in St. George to see “The King and I” at Tuacahn and had a great time.  I love that venue!  While we were in Southern Utah we visited the Brigham Young  winter home, did some swimming at the hotel, went to Zion National Park, and visited the ghost town of Grafton where Scott’s ancestors settled.
