It Was a Happy Day

Road Trip
(there and back in a day)

What do six students do when they need to escape happy valley? They take a road trip to St. George in one day. Typically, they would leave at 9:00 a.m., arrive at In-N-Out Burger at 1:00, visit a local park to eat their goodies, take a short, self-initiated tour around the St. George temple, and pile back into the car in order to return safely to Provo by 9:00 p.m. Why, yes, this is the story of me and my dear friends. Today, rather than going to our classes, we created a day-long spring break for ourselves and traveled to the lovely city of St. George and back.


It's plain and simple: I love In-N-Out. They provide quite possibly the most delicious burger in existence. Best news of the day is that an In-N-Out will soon be located in Draper, just 30 minutes north of Provo. Oh, happy day! I'll only have to drive half an hour to get my burger rather than four hours. This is too good to be true.


85 degrees with my burger in hand: Pure bliss.


Of course we asked for the complimentary hats. They add to the experience; it wouldn't be the same without them.


And we finished out the day visiting the stunningly beautiful St. George temple.

For those of you who want to make up for the spring break you didn't get, receive a break from the stress of upcoming finals, or just grab a fantastic burger, I highly recommend making a day trip to St. George. Just make sure the company is as good as mine was...it makes the eight hours in a confined car so enjoyable.

  3. stacie, we don't have in-n-out back east. but i have to ask how good a burger could be that it would constitute driving 4 hours away.
