Viva Las Vegas!

I finally went to Vegas! What a trip. My mom was speaking at a national nursing convention there, so I had to go. :) This was an experience. All kinds of first occurred. I flew on an airplane for the first time in my life! Crazy. That was a fun experience. I had a little trouble finding the right gate, but I eventually got there. I was very fortunate to have a drunk 60 year old man trying to hook me up with the asian engineer to his right the entire time! LOL Good thing it is only a 45 minute flight. Flying to Vegas at night is probably one of the coolest things I have seen. All the lights... incredible.

I was very excited to be picked up by my mom and sister at the airport. This was officially the longest time we all had been apart. My godmother and her daughter were also on the trip! What a treat. Love them and we always have a blast together! We stayed at the Palazzo, which is apart of the Venetian family. BREATHTAKING. The rooms were so nice and spacious. The first night we walked over to the Wynn to have drinks. I am still amazed as to how nice all the hotels were. I was very excited to spend time with my mom and my sister, but was a little bummed that my pops couldn't make it. Or so I thought... that man I swear!! So tricky. He ended up flying in late Friday night and spent the weekend with us! Words cannot explain my excitement! So nice to have almost the whole family there. 

We did so much. Dinner and water show at the Bellagio, Drinks at the Wynn, spent one evening at Mandalay Bay, walked the Strip,etc. Unfortunately, I did not win any money... in fact I lost about $60. LOL No more gambling for me. One of the coolest things we did was take an airplane tour of the Grand Canyon. What a beautiful sight. It is very hard to see that and not believe there is a God. Dad got to check one more thing off the ol bucket list.

It was such a great trip. A very much needed outting with my family! Think I might have to go back soon... : )
