Sooooo....the husband gave me a weekend getaway for my birthday. I know....fantastic right?!? It was well needed and although I hate leaving my kiddos I knew I would love just being with my love...ahhhh(vomit). We headed to the George for some serious relaxation. Being in a car together always is quite entertaining and we seem to make each other laugh..(okay, who am I kidding...we make ourselves laugh and the sarcasm is continually flowing that the other one just thinks the other one is laughing at them.....get this straight people...I am the funny one!!!...see I just giggled at myself!!!) Anywho....we decided that since we have lived in this great state and never visited Zions that now was a good time to seek out that adventure. I know...we live on the wild side!! Well, we drove to the Visitors Center with not an inkling of our plans for the day...we almost got sidetracked by a sign leading to a city where well known polygamists live....WHAT?...we are professed people watchers. Anyways back to my story, as we were about to embark on our little bus ride up the canyon I told my hubby that I needed to use the restroom. No big deal right? We all, whether we like to admit it or not have to pee at sometime or another....I just happen to have to pee every 30 minutes. Sooooooooooo.....................
......the bathroom is chuck full. I had no idea that Zion's was like Disneyland as far as how many people come and go from that place. For those who have never been in a women's bathroom it is like little anxious sardines waiting for their turn to get to a toilet. There is ALWAYS a line to pee and to wash your hands (ironically more people in the line to pee...gross....). FINALLY my turn comes up....it is the handicap stall but a girl needs to pee and I see no one in need of this special stall. I take my place in the bathroom and as I always do in a public bathroom I squated over the toilet so as to not sit in anyone else's splashes. I know.....men are always puzzled by this which just tells me they have never stood up from a toilet and realized they now have a random strangers pee on their behind...(for me...it causes serious dryheaves)....so I squat...shoot me. Anways ..... I am squating and peeing away when out of the corner of my eye I see people...I slowly look up and see people staring at ME. Oh YEAH...my door has swung wide open for who knows how long and there I sit..ok squat...in all my glory. What does a girl do? Does she pull her pants up and head to the door to shut it? NO...that would be too easy. My mind doesn't work that nicely...I scream and then run to the door....PANTS DOWN....in the middle of midstream (drip drip) but the door has swung all the way out and I am trying to pull it with the one hand and its not coming so I panic and start trying with two hands when it dawns on me that I am now full on standing with my pants down for all to see (you know...just in case they missed it the first ah 7-10 seconds....(thanks for the help women...you know you could have helped me.) As I finally got the door shut I just stood there by the door for a good few seconds dying of embarassment and comitting my life to never coming out of this stall....home sweet home..... How was I to walk out of this stall gracefully to all the women who have now ran and told their loved ones about the peep show in the bathroom....BUT I did it.....with a grin on my face.
So....lets just say that on that very warm day I saw a piece of Zion's and Zion's saw a piece of me!
The rest of the trip was wonderful and less embarassing.....I know who I am and I know embarassing things happen to me on a regular basis but this one has to be up there at the tip top. We were able to cram so much into just 3 days. Zions, temple trips, shopping, Tuachan and Vegas for Lion King and of course eating....LOTS of eating! It is good to know that after 12 years Greg and I can still have a fantastic time together! Love ya babes and I am grateful that even though I showed the goods off to complete strangers you still walked within 10 feet of me at all times of our trip!! Now that is love!!!
