Viva Las Vegas!

Last weekend we made a little getaway to Sin City. I wanted to get out of the awful weather in UT and enjoy some sunshine. It ended up snowing in UT on Friday (the day we left) so I was ecstatic to have missed that. The weather has really been horrible this year. And it still is taking its sweet time warming up.

I decided that I had to take part in history and woke up at 3:30 a.m. to watch the Royal Wedding. I just wanted to see the dress so I just woke up for that part and then tried to go back to bed before leaving for Vegas. I thought she looked very classic and pretty. I enjoyed that the dress was so modest and refined. It makes me want a tiara again! Also, I thought her veil was very similar to mine!

Brody's mom and brother came with us on our adventure. We couldn't find any friends who actually wanted to go with us, and Brody's mom was eager to take a weekend away too, so they became our traveling companions. Julie drove her car so we could save on gas (we still had to pay a fortune in gas because gas prices are even worse in Southern Utah/Vegas)

When we got to Vegas we were happy that it was warm, but it was horribly windy. So much so that it was actually pretty cold. Sadly I didn't get to lay out on this trip.Oh and Brody was very proud of this shirt he purchased and wore for the rest of the night. Surprisingly he had multiple people come up to him and compliment the shirt!

We visited many attractions while there. First, the pawn shop on Pawn Stars on the History Channel. They were filming when we got there so I saw one of the guys on the show. We visited a million casinos, the Bodies exhibit (which was kinda creepy, not my kinda thing), the Titanic exhibit (they had a piece of the ship...this was something much more enjoyable to me), the roller coaster in New York , New York, the Bellagio water fountains and a show at Treasure Island. The Show at Treasure Island was awful to put it lightly. We treked, what seemed like miles, to see this show. We were under the impression that it was for kids, but it ended up being a bunch of super scantily clad girls dancing provokatively on a ship with horrible monologe and songs. It was far from G rated or child appropriate. Hence we will not be watching that again.

Here are all of our pictures from the trip. I was happy to get away, but being back in UT means I have not trips to look forward to, at least not for awhile. Back to work and back to reality.At the M & M factory.
