A little slice of heaven in St. George

It's true...it's really true. In -n- Out Burger opened in St. George this week and Quent and I were lucky enough to eat there on Friday. Upon seeing the sign for the In-n-Out Quent suggested we eat there for lunch. I had my doubts about it really being open as I had googled it earlier in the week and there was no mention of the Utah location. He was right, it was open.

The first time we drove by at about 11:30 a.m. (on our way to Home Depot) we noticed there were about 25 cars in the drive through lane which wrapped around the parking lot. When we went back at about 2:30 p.m. to actually eat lunch we noticed that the line did not stop where we saw the "last" car but wrapped around the back of the strip mall allowing for about 50 cars to be in line at any given time.

There is nothing better than an In-n-Out burger with melted cheese and lots of sauce...the fresh made fries and a large diet coke. Looks like we might be making the trip to St. George a little more often.

My hair's too short

We made a stop in Colorado City on our way to St. George. Tourism has picked up in small little town since Dr. Phil recorded back-to-back shows from the area just a couple of weeks ago and with everything going on in Texas the town seems to be gaining residents.

And we thought $3.56 was high...

As of Friday gas in Kanab was 3.61 (well I guess it was $3.59 for the cash price, see picture, but who carries around enough cash to fill your tank at $3.59 a gallon?) In Fredonia, Arizona (just across the border from Kanab) gas was a whopping $3.82, not to mention diesel is $4.40.

Gas maybe $3.56 a gallon but....

So gas isn't cheap these days and regular unleaded in Page ranges from $3.38 to $3.56 for 87 octane. The good news is that Wal-mart now has a red box. For those of you who are not familliar with the red box let me explain. For just $1 a night you can rend a video and return it to any red box location the next day, keep it two days and it's just an additional dollar. You can log online and see what movies are in at the red box location and even "reserve" the movie so when you get to the red box location all you have to do is pick it up.

I guess the price of gas makes up for the price of the discount movie but it was certainly the most exciting thing that has happened around here in awhile.

A Blog Update...Sorry for the Delay

I was reminded earlier today that we have been neglecting the blog. Yes it is true we have not updated the blog so I will try and give everyone a brief summary of what has been going on.

Quent came down with a cold at the end of our cruise and has been sick since we returned. I'm happy to report that the cough has almost gone away and he is sleeping through the night.

I spent 10 days in Salt Lake with Joe & Joy helping them out with their newborn and two year-old. We had a great time making pretend broccoli soup (who actually eats real broccoli soup) and watching various Disney movies. I was able to catch a Jazz game while I was in Salt Lake, I even managed to get hired on by ESPN so I got paid to go to the game, just like the old days.

Next on the agenda is planting the gardens. Yes that is plural, we'll be planting two as we must have separate gardens.

We know we owe everyone pictures from the cruise ... they're coming we promise!
