Yesterday was very intense with three hikes, so we decided to take it easier today. I went to be early last night, but didn’t sleep the whole time because Clarissa was wide awake until 10:00 rearranging the room and babbling to herself (it was adorable). I still got quite a bit of rest and woke up naturally at 6:30. After resting a bit more, I blogged the two previous days.
Then we all left to Red Cliff National Conservation Area. The hiking was fun, although this area was more for lunching and hanging out than for going on a dedicated hike from what I could tell because it was still quite in town at St. George (off exit 8, and just 5 minutes away).
Red rock quenches a thirst in me. I don’t know how to explain it, but being immersed in it satisfies a thirst I didn’t even realize I had. I was so fun to be immersed in it again. The hiking was nice and afterwords right in the same park, we found ourselves at the conservation garden, and that was my favorite thing of the the entire day. First of all, because I got to learn the names of things that we actually had been seeing on our hikes, but second of all because it was so well presented, and beautiful. The plants were so pretty, and even thought it ended in a meltdown by Clarissa, it was soooo worth the visit. Pictures below:
After the hiking and gardens we went to lunch and went back our place for swimming. The rest of the day was a lot of relaxation meaning TV and playing for the kids, and napping and relaxing for the grown-ups.
