Well, so much for consistent blogging, right? I'm finally updating things! Woot!
This last month has had some exciting things. I finally got to catch up with an old friend and meet her adorable little boy Brendan, I got a small raise at work, and I FINALLY took a college road trip! I asked for this last Friday and Saturday off so that I could go on a trip down to Vegas and then the GRand Canyon for some camping. It was a whirlwind trip, but so much fun!!!! Tonight I'll give the run down on our first stop- Vegas.
Wednesday right after work Shawn and I headed out and drove until we got to Vegas and met up with some of his friends. It was a long drive, and it was really slick up in the mountains, but we made pretty good time. When we got to Stacy's house, she was still having a party, so we hung out with friends until 3. Not the best idea when you've been working long hours . . .
Thursday we ran the strip and checked out a lot of the casinos and shops. Shawn had never been to Vegas so we did a lot of walking and looking around. That night we had dinner with a bunch of friends at the Grand Lux restaurant in the Venitian. GO THERE TO EAT IF YOU ARE IN VEGAS!!!!! I had the most amazing miso salmon- it really changed my life.
After dinner, we checked out the Bellagio fountains and a few art stores, we ran into a small shop that did henna tattoos. I admit, the spirit of Vegas got to me, and I have a henna tattoo now! It isn't permanent, so I won't have it forever, but it will last around three to four weeks. All three girls that were in the group we were running around with got them. Don't worry Mom, it is out of my system now! :) We saw Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis impersonators that were really good, saw the old Vegas strip, and the famous Cowboy that is in a lot of movies. Overall, Vegas was a lot of fun!!!
