Our Trip to Mesquite


Shayne won a two nights stay at a hotel in Mesquite, NV. (30 minutes drive from St. George). So a month ago, we went with some friends (another family that has two girls the exact ages of Clayre and Kate...how perfect is that!). It turned out to be a great trip. The first night we just hung out in our room and enjoyed being somewhere different. Then the next morning while the husbands went golfing....the wives with kids went swimming for hours, had a lunch break, and than swam some more. All the girls had a ball. Even Maggie enjoyed herself, thanks to the shallow kiddy area. Then it was back to the hotel room for some much needed nap time.... I think the kids fell asleep too. After dinner we went bowling. What else can you do in Mesquite? But it was a lot of fun! Again the girls loved it. And I loved it because it was inside and air-conditioned. After that we crashed in our room for one more night. Leaving the next morning was a breeze....it was so nice to only have to drive 30 minutes instead of 5-6 hours like most of our vacations.

Question: Is it just me or does it not matter if you are leaving for 1 night or 1 week, when you have a baby it looks like you've packed for a month?

Side-note: Parly is not in any of the pictures because she was in Logan (see her blog) with her cousin Lily and nana & papa. Perfect timing!

It's not just you and it's not just your baby either. Whenever Christian and I go to Logan for the night, I am always disappointed...We always pack this HUGE dufflebag, and then we each have a backpack of carry-on items. It's sort of disgusting.
