Mother's Day was pretty special this year. Andrew asked me what I wanted to do for my special day and I said i wanted to swim with my baby and get some sun. Welp, the weather in Salt Lake was not complying so we started to think of quick trips we could take that would fit the bill.
We decided on St. George which is about a 3.5 hour drive from Salt Lake and really was a solid 15-20 degrees warmer. Andrew found us a nice rental condo with two bedrooms but when we arrived they upgraded us to a huge 3 bedroom suite. It was perfect and Athena had a blast walking in and out of all the rooms and out on the completely fenced-in furnished patio. There was even a fireplace and table and cozy patio furniture where we ate dinner later that night.
Uppon arrival we had a diaper situation that made things a little messy. Luckily the room had a washer and dryer too so We had to wash out the whole car seat and some of Athena's stuff. We were just happy that it happened at the end of the trip instead of in the beginning or middle. That would have stunk, quite literally.
Other than the blowout, Athena was a champ in the car for the whole drive. She napped for only 20 minutes of the whole thing! I thought for sure the car would put her to sleep but she was happy to just chat it up with us, look out the window and play with her cute little feet up in the air.
On the way out we stopped at this beautiful state park called Sand Hollow. It has the prettiest red sand beach and the landscape was just so colorful. Like layer upon layer of color and then the clouds were showing off that day as well. Really just a beautiful scene to take in the beautiful weather.
A really beautiful weekend and I'm glad I'll have these pictures to remember my time with my sweet girl who made me a mama, the best job I've ever had.
