Southern Utah Trip

For those of you who don't know about the Cornelius family heritage, it's all about Southern Utah. Mitch's family settled and established the Hurricane, Kolob, and Virgin, Utah areas, just outside of St. George. For Memorial weekend, my father-in-law wanted us to all see this amazing place, so we headed down south.
We stayed at a lovely bed and breakfast, hiked Zion National Park, visited the Cornelius family land/cabin at Zion's Kolob mountain, and visited the Virgin Cemetery filled with Cornelius ancestry.














And for those of you who didn't know, Mitch was born in St. George and actually baptized in the Virgin River. And in case there is any confusion, the Utah side of the river, not the casino in Nevada...
