Enjoy the Silence

This past week, Chris and I took a much needed mini-getaway to what I will affectionately call THE ZION. We decided it was time for us to have a break from the littlest Wiricks...and vice versa!! So, we loaded up the Mini Cooper (seriously. loaded. to the top.) and hit the open road. By the way, if you are planning a road trip, a Mini Cooper may not be the best way to go. The convertible is a must, but you may want to look into something larger than a matchbox car...just sayin'.

Sore backs aside, we had a great time hiking, eating, SLEEPING IN and shopping (yes, I did manage to sweet talk my way into an evening in St. George with outlets, Five Guys Burgers and a little Robert Downey Jr. AKA The Iron Man).

We have decided that for sanity's sake, we will be making this a yearly tradition. Hopefully, our sitters will be on board... (hint hint, wink wink)...

Chris is not a fan of the camera unless he is behind it (...and apparently, I am a fan?) This is one of...oh...TWO photos of us together so everyone would believe he was actually present for "OUR" vacation. :)

This was our lunch buddy. Brave little sucker, he was...
