What happens in Vegas......beats you back home!!

Justin and I took a little mini vacation to Vegas to celebrate our fantastic years of marriage together. We had a lot of fun but missed the girls so much. It was our first get-a-way without them. 9 years ago this past March was our last vacation with just the two of us. The longest we have ever gone without our girls in a night. But needless to say we survived and had a great time. We met up with some friends of ours. Robin, Shawn and Kim. They are from Kentucky and had never been to Vegas like us. Together we had a ton of fun, laughed a lot, walked a lot and did a lot of U-turns......A LOT! (Most of you will not get that but they will. LOL)



We not only visited the "Strip" but also visited the Hoover Dam. It was amazing. While at the dam we took some "dam pictures", had some "dam ice cream" and seen some "dam expensive gifts". But all-in-all we had a "dam good time".






Justin and I also took the opportunity to visit the Las Vegas Temple. It was so pretty. We are so glad we were able to work this in.

If you watch "PAWN STARS" then you probably recognize the sign below. We went to the pawn shop where the show is filmed. We did get to see the "Old Man" and a few items that have been on the show.
Here is a picture of the Stratosphere. We saw 2 people bungee jump off.

Here is a picture of the hotel "New York, New York".


This is the Luxor. We went to a Carrot Top show here. He was very funny.


This is the Excalibur. It sits right next to the Luxor.

This is the Bellagio where you always here about the fountains. We got to see 2 fountain shows.



This is a picture of the INSIDE to Paris. It is so beautiful.


This is Caesar's Palace. It think it was one of my favorite.


This is also inside of Caeser's Palace. Cher does a show there. In Vegas this show is known as C--Her. They had some of her clothes on display. All I can say....Oh my!
