Seriously, who goes to TWO art shows on vacation?

As I mentioned, I spent a few days in balmy St. George, Utah earlier this week. And like any good blogger, there are pictures.

 
This is the St. George tabernacle. There's a spiral staircase inside with a warning sign that reads "CAUTION: Steep, historic stairs." 'Cause, you know, those historic stairs will get you every time.
 
 
This is my best "I am giving a solemn and important speech, so listen up, losers" face. At the very top of the shot, you can see a bit of the All-Seeing Eye. It's actually carved into the wall, which is a bit unnerving.


We ate at an old-fashioned soda shop for lunch. Their soup was awful, but their soda bottle selection was enviable. I picked out this bottle of orange soda because whooooo loves orange soda? I love orange soda! (Also, Kel.) Plus, I adored the simple label design.


It was really, really good orange soda. (Note the t-shirt in mid-February. Glorious!)

 
We went to an art show at this quaint little house and then we went to ANOTHER art show at the college. My nerdiness? It is inherited.
  
Before...
 
 
And after...NOM NOM NOM.
I CAN has cheezburger kthx! (Srsly, enough with the LOLspeak.)
Anyhow, just to clarify, I did not actually put away two burgers/fries. Half of that was my dad's. Except I totally ate at In-N-Out for lunch again the next day. They just announced that they're building an In-N-Out right by where I live and it is a Big Deal.


I could take pictures of the Southern Utah landscape ALL DAY LONG. 


Get a load of those clouds. Could they *be* any more stunning?
 
One more for good measure.

Thanks for indulging my photo habit. You guys are the bestest. And it's Friday, so I can say sappy things like that.

The speech picture is my favorite and the clouds are a close second. I wish it were warm here!

P.S. - You are EXACTLY one year older than me. Weird.

Oh my goodness, girl! It looks stunning! (I need to go there and take photos sometime!)

And I totally have been to art shows on vacay. ;) Nothing wrong with that.

Three things:
1. You're absolutely adorable.
2. I am very jealous that you can wear a t-shirt in February while I'm still wading through slush.
3. Those pictures of the landscape look amazing!

Mel said...

It looks like you had a blast-I'm totally jealous!

The landscape shots are gorgeous.

Cassandra said...

Mm, In-N-Out...

Faygo comes from Meeeshigan. I've never had the orange kind, but I always liked their Red Pop growing up.

That looks like a freaking awesome time. Ahhh, jealousy! I love the photos.

Was the lame-o soda shop Judd's? Because Judd's is lame now, but it used to not be lame. We used to eat lunch there every other day when I was in 6th grade (the school was across the street). Also, yes. The clouds do get more amazing. But that is still an amazing picture. Also you should have gone to Brigham Young's winter home and Snow Canyon (if you didn't. If you did, good on you!).

I absolutely love the last and third from last (antepenultimate? Is this the right time to break out that word? Is it ever the right time to break out that word?) pictures.

(A) I love how your soda matches the butterfly on your shirt.

(B) WHY DID YOU POST THE BURGER PICTURES??? So, so cruel. It's been too long!

(C) I miss the desert.
