Viva------


We're back from Vegas!!!!!!!

We went on a quick but fun weekend trip. Left Thursday after work and got there Friday morning about 2:45am!

We both had been to Vegas before----His grandparents used to live there so he would visit annually. I have only been there once----the summer before my sophomore year my dad was going to a Board of Director's meeting in Vegas and I knew my mom was going with him. My parents surprised me with a plane ticket (my first ever!). So I have great memories of just sight-seeing with my mom there.

Oh man does it feel like a different world though! Robert & I were joking about how we decided to come to a place that is basically known for doing EVERYTHING our morals are against! Smoking, drinking, gambling, immorality, explicit pictures!!!! There are definitely bad things there....no doubt BUT if you know the right places to go, and how to have fun, Vegas can be a great place to visit! We were able to escape even from the aroma and images a majority of our stay!


We went to the "Tournament of Kings" which is in the Excalibur. It is basically a medieval dinner and a show and it is SOOO AWESOME!!!!!  It has jousting, amazing food and was so interactive.....Oh I would recommend it to anyone. It was probably one of my favorite things we went to!





If you want to see an amazing hotel though.....See the Wynn. When I went my first time, everyone was talking about the Wynn but it was just being built. This time I got to go inside and it is exquisite! Almost every restaurant is formal attire and plates start at like $85!!!! The decorating though..... was breath taking!!! We took our video camera and just was in awe when we were there! Even the slot machines started at $100!!





The Bellagio is one of my FAVORITE hotels in Vegas---mainly because I love the watershow! The performance is to different songs and has completely different choreography each time....but it is SO fun and amazing to watch!


It was a great little vacation and we had perfect weather right before this crazy storm hit CA and NV. We are getting back into the swing of things now and I start school again this next Monday the 25th.....I am hoping I have a better, less-stressful semester than last year!

Also, I've been trying to upload a video but the video button suddenly disappeared under "compose"....has that happened to anyone else?
