Through a strange series of events I somehow escorted Matt on a golf trip to St. George. The trip was pretty last minute (i.e. Matt called me at 5pm and said to hurry home because we were leaving) so I just decided to go with the flow. At about 7:30pm we realized we weren’t going to be able to find a hotel but we were already at my parent’s house dropping off Suz, so we decided to “break up the drive” (you know, cut 30 minutes off) and leave from their house in the morning.
So, we drove 3.5 hours and arrived at the golf course just in time to tee off. We grabbed Subway and a diet coke and were off. Around 4pm, I realized I had been awake for 9.5 hours and had only eaten a sandwich and I was bored out of my mind, so naturally I became a bit hangry. Over FIVE hours later, Matt finished up and we were on our way to Zions. We hiked around for a few hours until it got dark, grabbed a quick dinner and fell deep asleep.
Unfortunately, the next day was equally action packed. A round of golf, a Subway sandwich, a diet coke and then a LONG drive back to make it to a family dinner party. I’m still wondering where to pick up my wife of the year award.
Luckily Matt is probably the most entertaining person I know, so even though I was basically being held hostage in a golf cart reading travel books and fitness magazines, we still had a great time. And even better – the sun was out!!!!!
He was in good spirits, good enough to have his picture taken.
Stripes for the win. I think this is before my coke ran out.
This hike wasn't by any means difficult, but it was cool, and this picture does not do it justice.
In typical Matt & Lisa fashion, we didn't do any research before we hopped on a bus and rode into Zions - and of course, we also didn't bring any water. We prevailed and made it out alive.
