Family Vacation Day 8: March 7th, 2020 Driving Home/Iron County
We woke up this morning around 7:30. We started to pack up our stuff, fed the baby, and then went down for breakfast. After that we finished packing and loaded up the van. We didn’t get on our way until about 9:15/9:30.
We started our Iron County sight seeing at the Cedar City temple, it was a cute but small temple. From there we went to Discovery Park and then to the inland lighthouse. We made sure to swing by SUU for a photo before heading to the visitors center. The gal at the visitors center was very helpful. She handed me an envelope full of information that will be useful when Lucas starts putting together his report.
We made our way over to Parowan Gap after that so that we could see the petroglyphs. It was pretty cool. Definitely something to see at least once in your life if you are a Utah resident.
After the petroglyphs we went into Parowan city to stop at the visitors center. It was a tiny visitors with a cute old lady behind the desk. She directed us to some good pamphlets about Parowan and we went on our way.
For lunch we ate sandwiches and “the best cinnamon rolls in the west” at Parowan Cafe. It was an adorable little mom and pop cafe. It marked the end of our sight seeing for the day.
On our way back to the freeway we stopped to get gas at Maverick. Around 3:00 we stopped at Maverick in Fillmore to feed the baby. I bought a couple of slushes for us to sip and the boys were overjoyed!
We got home about 5:45. Zyven had been yelling and complaining for about 15 minutes at that point and even though we were home and got him out of his seat we couldn’t console him until he had been fed and changed and snuggled. Or theory is that he had just had enough and was letting us know. Lol.
We did a bunch of laundry and unloaded most of the van. Everyone was glad to be home. We kept the boys off of electronics and sent them outside to enjoy the nicer weather. Dinner was a random mixture of leftovers and stuff from our trip. Eventually we were all tucked into our own beds all snug and cozy. <3 Sometimes there’s no place like home.
