Vegas

So for spring break and our anniversary we went to Vegas. It has changed A LOT from when I went there when I was younger but we still enjoyed it anyway. The pictures I have posted are not in sequential order but I don't have the energy to fix them. :)

These next pictures are of us at Hover Dam. That thing is HUGE. I didn't think I was going to be that impressed by it but I was wrong. I am amazed at the structure and even more amazed at how they built it. I could never get a really good picture of the Dam but I did get a great picture of the new bridge they are building for cars.

My sisters, dad, and Brighton.

Hoover Dam. Brighton and I.

We went out to eat at a restaurant for our anniversary and this was the desert they brought us.

Brighton and my dad (okay and me too) love to watch the show Pawn Stars. It is about a pawn shop that is located in Vegas. If you have not seen the show it is on the history channel and it is good. So we had to go visit the pawn shop. Since the shop was so popular there was a line to get into it and a bouncer, but it was well worth the wait. That place had some pretty cool stuff in it. The things I loved seeing the most were two super bowl rings that were on sale for $100,000. I have concluded the only people who would have sold their super bowl rings were crazy gambling people. They were awesome.
Proof we were there. My sister and I.
More proof we were there.
Proof that Brighton was there.


Our picture of the store sign while we were waiting in line.

The first night we were there my sister and I rode the New York New York roller coaster. It was crazy fun and I would recommend it to anybody. We also went to the Coca-Cola store and saw the bear.


And of course we went to the M&M factory.



We also saw Lion King, a Cirque de Soleil, and a fashion show. Unfortunately they would not allow cameras so I have no pictures but I would recommend them. One nice thing about Vegas is if they do something they do it well. The performances (minus the fashion show, that was just a small thing) were amazing. I would go back to Vegas just for those.
We had a fun time and I didn't want to come back but when I got back my daffodils had bloomed. Yay for spring!

You guys should probably make another trip down to Vegas next year and you can stay with us because we'll live there! Well, not IN Vegas, but really close to it.
