St. George UT Oct 14-19, 2025

We had a few days off school for Fall Break so we took a quick trip to St George to see James parents in their “winter home”.  We had a relaxing few days.  

Here are a few of the things that we did:

*The girls follow a family on YouTube called the Not Enough Nelsons.   Last year they opened a boutique retail store in St. George so we HAD to go shop there.  It was a really cute store with lots of fun clothes. 


Next to it they also have a sweet shop so we tried their sodas and locally made treats . 




*We went out to dinner at a Japanese hibachi restaurant called Sakura with our niece and nephew, Kiely and Landon, who go to college in St George.   It was fun and delicious!




After dinner I introduced the girls to Iceberg milk shakes.  


*We had breakfast Tifiny’s Paris Cafe,  the crepes were huge and so good .


We also went to see our friend Tami (who moved to St.George from Seattle) and had a nice long visit with her …  I forgot to take a picture. 

*We drove around the downtown area of St . George,  had Kouign Amman at Farmstead and did a tour of Brigham Young’s winter home. 


And of course, because we were in Utah, we had Swig almost everyday. 


* I took the girls to see The Wizard of Oz at Tuachan while James and his parents hosted a BYU football party.  Tuachan is an outdoor theater at the end of a canyon.  It’s been a favorite of mine for 20 years.  


The show was amazing.

* Before leaving to come home we went to church 



And since we flew in and out of Las Vegas, we had dinner at Din Thai Fung, our FAVORITE….





…then went to the Bellagio to see the fall gardens. 


It was a short but great getaway.   Maija
