Washington County Fair

Every August- Washington County in Southern Utah has their annual county fair! This is the event of the year in Southern Utah.

There's plenty of fair food (my favorite being the funnel cakes), games, and rides.

There are rodeos, concerts, markets, and lots of fun!

If you're in Southern Utah or heading that way- I suggest making a trip over to the fair. Start your day off with some hikes or antique shopping then end it at the fair once the sun has gone down.

Dubai via The Egg Out West

oh dubai, where do i even begin?!

i traveled to the united arab emirates two years ago to visit my best friend who was living there after college.

all i have to say is that dubai is an entirely different world than we live in.

you've all seen sex in the city 2, and its a lot like that!

lavish is an understatement and i'm not even kidding here.

i had no idea this kind of wealth was even possible.

the people of dubai know how to live and i'd go back in a heart beat!

here are some of my favorite sights and places from my trip, enjoy~

p.s. if you ever head there, make sure you do yourself a favor and fly united arab emirates! 

greatest airline ever.

{fleets and fleets and fleets of ferraris everywhere.  aka everyone drives an amazing car!}

{the spice souks.  the food was unbelievable and so healthy and delicious.}

{the gold souks. who knew there were so many diamonds in the world?} 

{diamond encrusted pacifier, anyone?}

{oh, just some wildlife in the desert}

{on top of the world's tallest building, the burj khalifa}

{looking down from the top of the world, just to put it in perspective!}

{the architecture was so fun!  this building "twists" in the dubai marina.}

{the burj khalifa at night, next to the world's largest mall.  it even has a ski slope in it!}

{and here's me getting stuck in the desert!}

Cedar Breaks

Southern Utah has many famous spots, but there's one spot that isn't as popular yet deserves to be. Cedar Breaks is a State Park named for the cedar trees and the breaking away of the canyon. This place is breathtaking, The green of the trees, the red of the dirt, and the blue of the sky create so much color it's almost hard to look at.

There are lots of hiking trails here. The one my sister and I did was a beautiful trail that led to a pond. The path was lined with wildflowers and natural treasures.

I could have taken a nap in that bed of flowers.

I think "Utah" doesn't sound appealing to some- but Utah alone is home to 5 national parks (making it the capitol of national parks) and multiple state parks, plus it's gateway to many other national and state parks. We are a hidden gem and I'm excited to share more with you!
