Fall Break 2025 - St. George Day 1 - Travel Day and Tuacahn

Margie and Lloyd picked us up at our house and after we packed the van, we headed out towards St. George.  We decided to make a stop at the Red Barn in Utah County.  They advertised donuts and that is what made us want stop.  They didn't have very many donuts and the ones they had didn't look very good.  So Megan asked if she could have ice cream instead.  Tony said sure, and that's when some had ice cream for breakfast.  Josh still had a doughnut, but the others had ice cream.  I just had a couple bits of others.

We then continued onto Beaver where we stopped for lunch at the Mexican Restaurant that Margie liked.  After a yummy lunch we then drove the rest of the way down to St. George.  We stopped at Costco to get gas before we checked into our hotel. 

After we got all unpacked, we decided to walk to Black Bear Diner to have some dinner.  It was super busy, so we walked next door to the Denny's and ate there.  

We then walked back to our hotel to get all the stuff we needed to go see Newsies at Tuacahn.  Lots of blankets for everyone and some waters and snacks to take it.  

Tuacahn was about 20 minutes from our hotel.  It was a pretty drive and a lovely property.  We got there and waiting in line for them to let us in to get our seats.  This night was a sold-out crowd, so it was busy.  

We found our seats right in the middle section and waited for the show to start.  We all love Newsies, so we were most excited to see this show.  It was really good.  The actors were all really good and the scenery and sets were great.  The dancing was the best and most fun to watch.  At the end of the show, they had fireworks and they were so cool and echoed in the canyon where we were.  I loved that part.  

At the end we quickly walked to the car to try to beat some of the traffic.  We didn't do a great job of that.  We got stuck trying to go out for a good chunk of time, but we did finally make it out.  It was a good lesson for us to park differently the next night.  

We then made it back to the hotel and all showered and went to bed.
