Paradise

You may all find this hard to believe, but I spent the last 4 days in St. George with my wonderful mother and did not take a single picture! Seriously!?! Yes, I Jill Jensen, did not take a single picture. I am usually a firm believer that you can't post without a picture, but I have nothing to show you.

The reason for the lack of pictures may be due to the rigorous schedule we kept. It went a little something like this:
  • wake up
  • eat
  • sit by the pool/read
  • eat
  • shop
  • eat
  • sit by the pool/read
  • eat
  • sit in the hot tub
  • read in bed
  • sleep
It went on like that for 4 amazing days (I guess we broke it up a bit when we ventured to Vegas on Tuesday, but again we ate, shopped, ate with Jake and sat at his new house). I think this little get-a-way is a perfect display of what a true vacation should be.

I was lucky enough, yet again, to get a little one-on-one time with my mom. I have said it a thousand times before, but I couldn't ask for a better travel companion. It is so wonderful to get to spend that kind of time with her and just be able to relax together. I think we sat in silence more than we talked, but I love that we just have 'comfort silence' as I like to call it. We don't have to say a word and still just like to enjoy things together.

All in all, it was a sensational escape.
