A couple weekends ago we went down to St. George for our triathlon. It was pretty stupendous. Afterwards, we checked out a prominent dinosaur footprint site (tracksite), visited a cartoonish western town, ate lunch at a tiny natural foods store nestled along the side of the highway in an orchard, celebrated Earth Day in Springdale, and visited Zion National Park. It was basically a perfect Saturday, with a good amount of road trip driving to keep me happy too.
Below are some photos from the trip. Also, you can see all of the photos on Flickr: view the whole trip, or split up into triathlon, dinosaur tracksite, Virgin Village, and Zion.

I shared the same excitement! Thanks for looking at the pictures. I realized that I hadn't told everyone about this trip, and we've been posting that stuff on our blog, so I wanted to share the wealth. I've got a few more trips to share too, including the last three Saturdays.
We miss you too! It's less than two weeks away! We're so excited. Can't wait to see you guys starting up in Idaho. We'll be doing so much!
