Vegas Baby

The past several times I've visited Jenny I've gone for my birthday and visited her at her house in Colorado Springs. We decided that we should just go on a trip instead. We were trying to pick a spot and Vegas seemed perfect, warm weather and lots to do. We decided we should go to San Diego next time. On Monday after we got our car rental we went to the strip and walked around waiting to check into our hotel. My brother let us stay in his timeshare. The hotel had a lazy river and we were in love with it. We got in almost immediately after checking into the hotel and the water was warm and it was amazing. We had dinner at In-N-Out that night. On Tuesday we went to the Red Rock Canyon in the morning. It's a 13 mile loop and it was really beautiful. We got lunch and then hung around the pool for several hours before leaving to spend the evening on the strip. We ate dinner at the Shake Shack and then we headed over to our Cirque de Soleil show. It was really good. Afterwards we got shakes, souvenirs, and checked out the water show at the Ballagio. We were wrong about the times on the shuttle back to the hotel and ended up hanging out in the back of Excalibur for almost an hour.

On Wednesday we hung out at the pool as long as we could until we had to check out. The rest of the day we felt like we were just waiting until it was time to go. We had lunch at Banditos. It was good. We did a little shopping but then felt tired enough that we just hung out on a bench until it was time to return our car and go to the airport. We got to the airport way too early and ended up waiting another hour together until we had to separate and go through security. It was just a long day and I didn't get home until 12:30 that night. I had to get up to teach my English classes and go to my sub job (which was a half day luckily). The trip was tons of fun and I love hanging out with Jenny. It doesn't matter how much time passes we still can get right back together and we are totally at home and comfortable with each other. It's the best!

Scott ended up driving to Utah overnight with Ryan on Thursday night to be a part of Clark's surprise 40th birthday party. It looked pretty epic from the video. Clark and Steve sang the Le Miserable' song "Can you Hear the People Sing" at the karaoke bar and all of his friends joined in on the chorus.

We didn't do much this weekend. I'm working on my porch. I sewed some new pillow covers and I'm going to paint my chairs. I'll post pics next week.

Inside Hershey's world, It was not impressive. It's just Hershey candy you can buy at the grocery store only more expensive. This statue made of licorice was kind of cool though. 

The lazy river! We were in love with it.

Shake shack had good burgers and very okay shakes. 

We went to the Micheal Jackson Cirque du Soleil show. It was really good! Plus Jenny and I used to listen to MJ all the time.

Gabby wanted to to a yard sale again.
