Virgin, UT
We just can’t get enough of Duane’s new place!
My parents hadn’t planned a spring visit to Las Vegas and they hadn’t yet seen Duane’s new house, so we decided to invite ourselves to his space for Mother’s Day weekend and it was wonderful! We stayed in the motorhome, my parents stayed in the guest room, while Duane and Beth were amazing hosts.
The Mother’s Day crew!
Shortly after arriving, just as Beth was starting the microwave, we all heard a loud ‘bang’ down the road. A utility box had blown, but fortunately Duane was prepared with candles and a generator. While we would’ve been prepared for a weekend without electricity, a couple hours later we were back in action.
Saturday we took a drive along the back side of Zion. The red and white rocks were the perfect backdrop to the fluorescent green grasses. I felt like I was in The Sound of Music.
Later in the day, while the kids played the games on Duane’s Golden Tee arcade game, the adults enjoyed some peace and quiet. Saturday evening, while Beth headed back to Las Vegas to be with her daughter for Mother’s Day, we cooked up some killer pizza in Duane’s pizza oven and took the quads out for a ride. Miles did great riding home by himself! My Dad even took a quad for a spin!
Mother’s Day was Sunday and my mom and I got to go on a walk just the two of us. It was so good to have uninterrupted conversations with her.
Before heading back to Las Vegas, Duane took us to a cute park where we cooled off in the Virgin River.
