I surprised Paul with a weekend away to Cedar City Utah. I planned 3 hikes for Saturday morning, then 'Henry V' for Saturday evening. The best part was...Paul didn't know where he was driving to or what we'd be doing!! I'm good with secrets, but not surprises, so I was pretty thrilled with my self.Friday night we went out to dinner and wandered the historic buildings on Main Street. I made Paul pose before a statue, then we headed back to our suite to relax.
Saturday morning, we managed to hit all 3 trails, plus a quick stop at Navajo Lake.
Cedar Breaks was the most spectacular sight and the hike involved some sheer drops. 
Bristlecone Pines-the oldest living organisms on the planet, these were around whilst the Egyptians were building the pyramids!
On the way back into town I wanted to see the 'Old Rock Church', so we rinsed the mud off our shoes and headed in. It was built in the 1930s using local material.
A few hours' rest at the hotel, then we got dressed up, had some yummy Chinese, before arriving at the Shakespeare Festival. The outdoor building was a nice re-creation of The Globe and the performance was great! The guy playing Henry put all the others to shame, he was awesome!

It's nice that you posted about your trip! It's nice to see you post about you two also, Alec is great and I know you started this blog to keep everyone informed about him--but you two are important also! After all, there wouldn't be Alec without you! You should post more about you and Paul too, if you're comfortable with that, if you're not, that's cool too! The point is, I enjoyed this post very much and especially all of the photos too! You are a great couple and I'm glad you had such a wonderful time on your trip! You deserved it! Love you, take care and talk to you soon!

P.S. I LOVE hearing about Alec, hope that last comment didn't sound bad...you know I love you--Colin & I--we love ALL of you! :)
That's lovely you got to go away - as a surprise too - wow! Well done Kylie. You two look so great together. I wish we could be around to get to know you both more. I love hearing about you too. :o)

Surprises are great. This year Joanna and I went to Cedar Breaks also. It's kind of funny because you went this year and so did some good friends here. And I hadn't even heard about it until recently. Glad you had a great time! It's always nice to get away.
Joanna and I will have to visit you if we're in Vegas sometime. My sister and her new husband are moving there sometime in the next year, so we'll probably go down to help them move in.
