Sin City

Well, we decided to go on a little vacation to celebrate our graduations, so we headed to Las Vegas for a few days! Josh and I both used to go to Vegas for soccer and basketball tournments every year growing up, but we both hadn't been there in a while, so we decided it would be a fun place to go. It was SMOLDERING hot, but hanging out by the pool made it very bearable :)
We stayed at the MGM grand, which was nicer than I anticipated. The pool area was awesome and even had a little river you could float around on. We walked A TON and we pretty much visited every hotel and tourist attraction on the strip. We also went to Hoover Dam and took a tour. We had such a fun getaway and it was fun to be carefree! Now back to the real world.....

We couldn't park close to the sign because it was closed off for what we think was a movie set, so we got a drive by picture :)

We went to a fun show at the Excalibur called "Tournament of Kings" where you eat dinner with your fingers and cheer for the Knight from your country. We were cheering for France and he pretty much kicked everyone's trash :)

We loved our room at the MGM Grand. The MGM is close to everything and even has a stop along the Monorail, so we got around very easily.

I HAD to visit Serendipity 3 to get their original famous Frozen Hot Chocolate. My family is obsessed with the imitation "FHC's", as we lovingly call them, at Dairy Queen, so I had to do a taste test. I must say the Frozen Hot Chocolate at Serendipity was scrumptous, but it was almost $9, so I think I will stick to FHC's at Dairy Queen!

Us at the Hoover Dam- we took a tour down into the dam and went down 52 stories in an elevator. They are building an awesome bridge, so that people don't have to drive over the dam anymore.

Josh's mom let us drive her new red Mustang so we could drive to Vegas in style :) Unfortunately, the car is quite noticeable to the police and very easy to speed in so we got pulled over and got a ticket :(
