Driving through St. George is pleasant, from our experience. We encountered minimal traffic and were able to find parking quite easily in the historic district. It's a lovely little area that, perhaps not all that surprising given its name, has a long history behind it that the locals are pretty proud of. These buildings comprise some of the very first to ever be erected in the area. Luckily for us, the area and significant buildings therein, are lovingly maintained. It's all been engineered to be eminently walkable, too, with parks and public art to make the journey more interesting. As a couple of Vegas kids, our hometown was in the high 90s or low hundreds by this point in both the year and the day, but the climate was much milder which meant the stroll was exquisite. It was warm, yes, but more like 80-something degrees, a level of heat that allowed many children to go scampering barefoot across the sun-baked cement at the nearby water parks without burning their little tootsies. I'm not sure what my favorite aspect of this area was, because there was a lot of nice things to admire. The public space was very well manicured and maintained, with little garbage floating around or lingering in untended corners... which, in most large cities, seems like an unavoidable sight. The mild climate allows a wide array of different plants and blossoms to flourish and it's noticeable in the gardens' cornucopias of color.

Check back tomorrow for better photos from our walk through the area!
