Traditions of Sun...

Our winter tradition going beyond ten years... The St. George Home Show with my Mama & Sister!

I had my doubts.  I didn't want to strap poor Boone into his seat for hours on end.  He is so young and I didn't want to expose him to a bevy of nasty germs.  He isn't sleeping through the night and I didn't want to keep my Mom and Sister up at night, and on and on...

But tradition hollers loudly - and the smog that covered the Wasatch Front leading up to the weekend of our excursion, sealed the deal.

So we drove south to find spring.  Warm sun in a beautiful blue sky quickly put all my doubts to rest.  It was gorgeous and the Vitamin D was just what the doctor ordered after a couple of months of being inside watching gray and white landscapes out the window.

The homes were beautiful per usual.  I love how the trends are going toward light and airy.  I also love the lower maintenance floors and the minimal decor and the tendency toward fine craftsmanship.

I mostly loved that my little travel buddy was a milk guzzling sweetie pie.  He seriously didn't make a peep the entire drive down or back home.  He was ah-mazing!  And it's a right of passage for all babies who belong to Grandma Gail... every single one of her grandkids have had their turn being doted on at the Home Show and I think all her baby whispering puts them right at ease.

And the big boys had a Bachelor weekend in the sun all their own.  RyGar loaded their bags full of camo and took them to the Wayne house to shoot their BB Guns at rabbits (for the record only one rabbit was killed and I'm pretty sure Ryno did the deed).  

They rode four-wheelers and stayed up late telling stories and visited the uncles and played in the mud pits (which I can attest to as I am just now conquering the monstrous laundry pile that awaited me upon my return). 

I don't know how I got so lucky that out of all the boys in the Universe, I got the best ones... 

And even though Punxatony predicts an early spring... I will make it without complaints either way now that we have all had a taste.  Besides... we know just where to find it if it gets delayed.
