Our 21 Hour Road Trip

Took a last minute trip to St. George this weekend to surprise and cheer on our little T-Bone running the 1/2 marathon. We strolled onto St. George Boulevard no earlier than 3 am, and checked into a classy $36 a night motel.

In the morning we kept the class alive by making posters out of a gift bag...
Note to self: the St. George K-Mart does NOT sell posterboard.


We waited for T-Bone to round the bend. "Is that her?....Nope"

"Is THAT her?....Nope" And we kept on waitin'.

So naturally, while we waited we took some sassy poster shots.


Sarah then decided to walk up the trail a bit to see if she could find our little runner. Next thing we knew Sarah was running with T-Bone round the bend...



(To everyone that runs this race next year: Sar-Bear is going to leave you all behind in her dust)

That's enough of the socializing y'all. T-Bone had a race to finish.

And that she did. Congrats T-Bone! You did awesome!
We couldn't have done it without the cowbell. Another avid supporter even offered money for it. But we'd be crazy to part with a cowbell....


A quick bite to eat and then one last pic before we have to say goodbye to T-Bone.

And on our way back, nothing left to do in the car but take pictures of ourselves. It's only right.



Phewf. She kept her eyes on the road. Good thinkin.

One last road trip necessity...

Did you really think we'd leave without one?

It was quite possibly the best day E-V-E-R! Tears were shed. I need to post my version of the story.

Yes, yes you should move in with me. My lease is up in April. Beach? I think so!
