Las Vegas Trip

A few days before Christmas, Ken took me to Las Vegas for a little getaway. We went to the BYU vs. Arizona Bowl Game.



We saw Wendell Wood, Ken's friend from BYU.



We also saw Laurie Steed, my childhood friend from many years ago.



We took a helicoptor tour of the Hoover Dam.



Then we walked around the Hoover Dam.



We walked 2 miles from our hotel through smut and crowds to watch the Bellagio fountains.


We went to Shark Reef, an exhibit in our hotel.


We went to M&M World for our kids and bought them souvenirs.



We also went to stage productions of Mamma Mia and Phantom of the Opera. I love, love, loved them both!!!!!! We also enjoyed the Bodies Exhibit, ate lots of good food, relaxed, and enjoyed our time away from our real world.

Thanks Mom and Dad for taking the kids for the week.

Sounds like so much fun! Maybe I will talk David one year into taking me there. I have always wanted to go to M&M world.

Okay so I know that it was your get-a-way but I would have loved to invade just a few hours of it! We are only about 2 hours from Vegas! I would have loved to see you and give you a great big hug! I am glad that you got to get away and have so much fun with Ken.

Too true. Rob and I went to Vegas for a work conference a few years ago. It is hard to believe how much smut is in that town. But the Bellagio fountains were terrific.

I am still so mad that I was sick and I didn't get to see you. Aargh!!!

PS I'm glad you had fun.
