We got up early the next day and went our separate ways. John went to the basketball games with Nick and I went around the strip with my family. That night we met up and saw Phantom of the Opera. We loved it so much! I loved that it was shortened with no intermission. Haha. Seriously though, it was awesome. We were on the edge of our seats the whole time!
The next day we had a lazy morning. John played basketball with my brothers and then we took a trip down the Lazy River (swimming pool with a current). It was awesome despite the broken blood vessels up and down my underarms from the inner-tube. :) We had lunch at In N Out and then walked around the strip some more. That night we saw the Beatles LOVE show which I had wanted to see for YEARS! We loved it SO much! It was seriously so awesome and I didn't want it to end. It was fun to go with my mom, the biggest Beatles fan I know.
On our third day in Vegas John and I kind of did our own thing. We met up to see the lions at MGM with my family in the afternoon and then explored on our own some more. I got carded at New York New York while I was standing around the casino and they asked me to leave because my drivers license was expired, even though I am 21. Dang. I got after John because he lost $10 in a slot machine earlier so I was not pleased to find him sitting at another slot machine when I came out of the restroom. However, I was excited to see this...
241 big ones! We were excited. He pulled a few more that day and ended up with around $400. Sweet! That night we went to Bucca di Beppo with my family and then to the Aggie game. It was so fun to all go to the game together and see the Aggies win the WAC championship!
The place where the game was held was awesome! It had a gigantic movie theater on the top floor so John and I decided to hang around and see The Adjustment Bureau, which was pretty good.
The next morning we JUMPED out of bed when John realized that it was daylight savings and we had to be out of our room in 5 minutes. So... we brushed our teeth and headed out. We had seen just about everything we wanted to see with the exception of one store. The famous Gold and Silver Pawn Shop from the TV show Pawn Stars. It was fun. Tiny little place, pretty ghetto on the outside but still fun to see. John even got a souvenir t-shirt :)
After that we drove home, stopping in St. George to eat at Dennys. We got home around 8:45 and played some cards with my siblings. I am so worn out today! Hopefully I can make it through all my classes. It was such a great time and I am so grateful for my parents who helped us financially with the trip. They are such a blessing. I think it is the first time we had that many days where we didn't have to worry about school and work since we got married. SO NICE! I am looking forward to John having another break from work next month. Hopefully we can get out of town again!
Looks like a fun time!! I am addicted to Pawn Stars. That's definitely going to be on my list of places to stop next time we're down there!!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love how when they lose money you are so mad but as soon as they win you get so excited and love them so much? haha chez and I got through the same thing every time we're in Vegas!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lot of fun! We missed you guys by a week! :) I remember when we went down for spring break when Daren was a baby. I was on edge the whole time because Merin and I were both only 20...ha, ha. I was worried they wouldn't even let us check into the hotel.
