the sweetest thing.: Cedar City.

Last week, we went with Mike's family to Cedar City for the Shakespeare Festival. I've known Mike a long time and every summer I hear about Cedar. The plays, the family picture, playing bridge for dinner, etc. Being married, this year I was finally invited to go! We had such a good time!

We left on the fourth, with just one stop in Beaver for the giant rocking chair. (Of course) when we got to Cedar, we walked around and checked out the souvenir shop. We went out for pizza for dinner and then saw our first play, The Tempest. It was really good! The actors were all great and we even had a real storm. The theatre was outside and during the first half of the play it started to downpour. We were moved inside for the remainder of the first part, but luckily got to go back to the outdoor theatre after intermission.

On Friday, we saw a matinee of Anything Goes. We all loved it! So witty and kept us laughing the entire time! Tap dancing sailors can be pretty entertaining. After the show, we got Hawaiian style shaved ice which was delicious! And then Mike and I went back to our room to watch TWD marathon. (We did this between each play. Call us obsessed) That evening we saw Love's Labour's Lost. This was still a good play, but wasn't my favorite. Although, the fudge we got to eat while we watched it sure was tasty!

On Saturday, we woke up and went on a "hike" which was really more of a walk, with some of his extended family. After the hike, we went out to eat just the two of us, which is a treat! To cafe rio. So delicious! Next, was the bridge game to determine where the whole family would go for dinner. Our room was the biggest, so everyone came over to play. We had two games going. I took fourth in my game. It was fun playing with everyone and learning how to play to begin with. Anna won and chose to go to a delicious Japanese steak house restaurant. So yummy! Family pictures time! The whole group crowded together to take the infamous picture! To end the evening, we saw King John. Of all the plays we saw, this was my least favorite. Go figure, it was a tragedy.

All in all, we had a wonderful time. The trip didn't seem long enough, but it was so nice to get away! We already have our tickets for next year, so looks like I need to brush up on my Shakespeare.
