Hurricane Excursion

There were some ladies in the restaurant Thursday that had come up from Hurricane and requested that we open a location down there.  They said they really needed a place like ours as they don't have any good places to eat.  I mentioned to them that we were considering a second location in the St. George area but had not discussed Hurricane.  They said they would drive to St. George to come to our place but then mentioned that St. George already has a ton of sandwich shops.  That is a good point.  I thought about it a bit and figured we should take a drive down to Hurricane. 

Before leaving we had a casual start to the day except that both Andy and Jack were up and rearin to go early.  Why?  What is it about kids that they do not get up on their own on a Sunday morning when you have 9 o'clock church but they can be up earlier then normal on a Saturday - the only day that you can actually sleep in?  I don't know the answer to this.  Well I did want any responsible parent would do, I got up, turned on model train and hot wheel videos on the computers and went back to bed.  They enjoyed themselves and I got a little more sleep.  Actually I needed it.  The last two nights I've sat down to write the blog post and simply passed out.  I've woken up with my head on the computer table and then tried to get a couple of thoughts down.  Rough.  Thought about going back and redoing them but have decided to leave them as is.

Anyhow, we took off for Hurricane around 3 actually.  We had a storm blowin in and so it was a little nasty for a bit.  It wasn't bad after we cleared Mountain Springs, still rainy and wet but no snow.  We drove through Toquerville and Laverkin and then made our way into Hurricane.  I found a few locations and saw a couple of things that could work.  I don't know, lots to think about and deal with.  Obviously a lot of financial investment as well and we are not in a position for that at the moment so anything we do would take some time to put together.  The ladies were right though, there are not a lot of places there. 

The kids enjoyed the trip.  We didn't do anything spectacular but they liked seeing the area and being on the road.  We made a stop at Costco - I mean how could I not?  I love that place and the kids love the Pizza so we ate.  I had a dog combo, no bun, mustard, sauerkraut and onions mixed.  It wasn't bad though the dog probably had a few more calories then a chicken breast.  We then did a little shopping and enjoyed walking through the store. 

It was a fun time together and that is what really matters anyway.  Not so much what we did but that we did something together.  Sure do love these kids.  They are wonderful.
