July 22nd: Lots of Driving, Lots of Fun

On the morning of July 22nd Emily and I left our house at about 5:45 to begin a 9-hour trip from Albuquerque to St. George, UT. After arriving in St. George we had a few hours to kill until the Broughs (my mom's side of the family) got together for some pizza. After dinner some of the family went to the nearby Tuacahn Ampatheatre to see a production of Annie.
For those of you who are not familiar with Tuacahn, let me give you some info (and pictures).

Tuacahn is an outdoor theatre nestled in a gorgeous red rock canyon just outside St. George (about an hour and a half from Las Vegas). The cliffs stretch 1500 ft high. The theatre puts on multiple productions throughout the year so if you're ever in the area we highly recommend checking out their schedule and going to a show.

The theatre seats 1920 people and on the 42,000 square foot complex there is also a 330 seat indoor theater, a dance studio, a black-box theater, a recital hall, a costume shop and scene shop, studios, classrooms, and a gift shop. Tuacahn is also the home of a public performing arts charter school. Emily knows what she's talking about when it comes to musicals and she thinks Tuacahn does a great job. Just ask her.

Can you spot any family members in this pic?


We spent the night at Brian and Kim's (my mom's brother and his wife) in Santa Clara that evening. It was a great touch to arrive and see actual mints on our pillows. Brian and Kim have four kids that are a lot of fun to hang out with!
