Las Vegas/St. George/Zions over Martin Luther King weekend

Because Tyler has every other Friday off and I don't have classes on Fridays, we had a four day weekend in January over Martin Luther King weekend. We decided to get out of the gross smog in the valley and head to Las Vegas and St. George.

We woke the kids up around 5:00 in the morning and got on the road. The kids did great and fell back asleep and slept almost the whole way to Las Vegas.

It was such a fun little trip. We hung out in Vegas till Saturday afternoon, except for Friday afternoon, we took a little drive to the Hoover Dam. Then, we headed to St. George and stayed with my cousin Kourtney. On Monday, we went to Zion National Park. It was a free day because of the holiday. It wasn't very busy.  It was fun, but a lot of the trails were closed. We attempted two  different hikes (Weeping Rock and the Lower Emerald Pool), but both were closed at some point on the trail. It was still really fun and it was really cool to see icicles frozen to the walls.
