Spring Break 2014

Sun. Pool. Friends. No school. Sounds like summer right? Close.. Spring Break. The taste of summer to get you through the rest of the semester. So this spring break I went with two of my friends and had a girls week in St. George Utah. Yeah not the beach like usual but its okay.
  We are definitely not your usual spring breakers. We did not go to raging parties, get beyond wasted, didn't meet guys, and any other crazy thing you can think of. We mostly just relaxed by the pool and slept a lot. Yeah we did more than that but for the most part it was a much need relaxing week. We all got a nice tan (well it started as a burn), all caught up on some sleep, and got to catch up. Now some people might say that is boring but those people are wrong. It was fun.
   Okay we did do more. We went to Zions National Park and went on the Emerald Pools hike and enjoyed the beauty of this national park. It was great! I am not going to lie, I have never liked hiking. I trip over a crack on the floor, you really want me climbing a mountain? But I decided to give it a try once again. And I will have to admit I really enjoyed it! I definitely liked hiking to some sort of water. I am more of a water girl than a mountain girl. So hike to water and I will go!
   We also went to Las Vegas for a day. Once again we did not do what most people do in Vegas. None of us drink, gamble or go clubbing but there is still some fun there. We went to the Aquarium and saw some legit sharks and fish. We got to touch Sting Rays. Ahh it was so cool! Then like typical tourists we walked the strip. Looking in some stores, taking pictures, and looking at all the different people dressed up. We also went to dinner with some relatives of one of the girls. It was fun and a super long wait for the food!
   All in all it was a great week! We heard some amazing stories from people we met on our adventures. We learned more about each other. We got some sun and some sleep. We listened to the Frozen soundtrack more than anything (which rocked). It was definitely a different spring break than usual but it was a good one! :)
 Meet Lauren and Caitlin! :)
 At the third emerald pool!
Man we look good!
