What's there to do in St. George?

Last week Rick had a conference to attend in St. George. I loved to tag along and do my own thing while he was in class Tuesday night through Saturday. Here was my to do list this year:
  1. Enjoy the spring weather that is a month ahead of us up north, soak up some sun, sit by the pool & read.
  2. Eat pie at Croshaw's Gourmet pie shop.
  3. Go look around the outlet mall, spend my gift certificate at Kohls (thanks Colleen!)
  4. Eat dinner at the Mongolian BBQ
  5. Eat lunch at the Painted Pony with Jil A.
  6. Attend the St. George LDS temple, walk around the grounds, smell the lilacs
  7. Work out on the hotel exercise equipment
  8. Work on my project brought from home of organizing photo books (still)
  9. Walk and walk and walk around town. It's safe and beautiful. There are many great walking and biking trails. Found a great deal on Easter dresses for the 4 little grand girls.
  10. Go to two movies (Soul Surfer and Source Code - both good) & watch several more on HBO in the hotel room.
  11. Eat more pie at Croshaw's (I limited myself to three pieces this trip.)
  12. Notice all the polygamists shopping at Costco
  13. Notice all the development projects that the city government approved that dig into the red mountains and look TERRIBLE.
If we are in the area longer or more in the summer months, it's also very fun to drive over to Zion National Park and hike a trail and eat at one of the great eateries in Springdale (like Oscars.) This summer Tuacahn is doing GREASE and THE LITTLE MERMAID and it would be fun to see one of those.
I'm thinking of going back with a sisters group or friends group in June maybe, before it gets too hot. Any takers?

I haven't spent much time in St George over my lifetime, and would love to go with the sisters in June if it worked out for everyone else. . .

That is a fun trip! I'm glad you could take some time and relax and that you find so much to do. We'll have to come up and join you some time.
