We picked up our new ride at the dealership, shipped the old one, and took off on a Friday afternoon... and being L.A., we immediately got stuck in 405 traffic. Ugh. Good-bye huge traffic jams. Hello, road trip!
It's our first road trip with a two-year-old. And we were prepared with plenty of snacks and a DVD player. Somehow, on the first night we drove until midnight. With the help of my new i-phone (how did I live without it?!) We found a fairly decent Best Western in St. George, UT, which is also the home of Dixie College. The College was named partly for the profitable cotton industry in this area back in the 1800s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George,_Utah
We found St. George, (even if it lacked good coffee--putrid at the B. Western buffet--and coffee shops were at a minimum) to be a surprisingly nice stop. Kevin and I agreed that lack of good caffeine was fall out from being in a predominantly Mormon state. But then we found the cafe 25 Main, with its misted exterior and ultra hip decor. 25 Main: http://www.twentyfivemain.com/. And, they even had cupcakes!
