WARNING: I suggest you skip this post because it is very long and very boring to anyone but me and possibly Dan. But you have been warned.
So remember how we're pregnant?
Ya me too...
That means next year we'll have a baby for Valentines Day.
So why not go to Vegas THIS year, before the baby comes?
So we went. And we had a blast.
We decided to invite our dear friends to join us. How cute are we?
We made a pact to go on a vacation every year together. Next year is in their hands.
We started our party on Friday when we headed down to SLC to pick up the Petersons. We hit up Chipotle, IKEA, and the back massagers at Bed Bath & Beyond and then we began our adventure...
Road Trip included: 8 sodas, 2 chocolate milks, 7 sandwiches, a plethora of plums and M&M's, and 5 amazing rounds of "7 steps to Kevin Bacon". haha Anyway,
Here are some highlights of our vacay.
Many trips to Paris...
...New York
AND HERE!
Plenty of State Lines to kiss on (Arizona/Nevada line on the Hoover Dam)
Some nauseating views looking down at Hoover Dam and driving over the freaky deaky bridge.
The Las Vegas Temple (kind of sounds like an oxymoron).
St. George Temple
Baby Rad really enjoyed to trip too. Didn't stop kicking and growing-and I'm sure s/he loved all the food that was consumed! :)
One of the nights we just spent the 2 of us, and we acted like total honeymooners! It was fun to go back to the same places that we actually went on our ACTUAL honeymoon in August of 2009.
It was ever so romantic. One major difference... I actually got ice cream on this trip. Our entire honeymoon I spent craving and searching for ice cream. But every time we stopped for that frozen goodness, random obstacles would occur. Like; long lines, closed signs, or a snoop dogg look-alike cashier who didn't know how to scan in an ice cream snickers. (Still upset about that). So on our re-enactment date we found an open Coldstone without a mile-long line! Much happiness.
Then we went to the Excalibur (where we stayed) to see if the Corona Bottle was still there. Sadly, it was gone.
Then watched the water show at the Bellagio
And walked the entire strip until we were all tuckered out. It was perfect.
On Valentines day we ate at P.F. Changes and met a misunderstood waiter who likes to "hike in Utah." "AND MT. BIKING"-SDR
hahaha oh man I haven't laughed that hard in a LOOONG time! personal story, don't feel left out.
After dinner, we went to Phantom of the Opera and sat on the 5th row. It was definitely the highlight of our trip! Then watched another water show and headed back to the Palace Station.
Before the show and dinner, we all took to the strip. The boys rode the New York, New York Roller Coaster while us girls talked about babies.
The 4 of us has such a great time in the 70 degree weather! Oh and we went to the friendliest ward any of us had ever been to. Such a change from the people we met on the strip and in the Wal-marts! :) We also loved feeling actual warmth as we walked around taking feet pictures.
And that was our wonderful vacation. We got home late Tuesday night and had to be to work bright and early Wednesday morning (and in -17 degree weather). Such is life.
P.S. I love SDR
