Vegas!

   This past weekend was a girls trip to Vegas.  I am probably the worst person about taking pictures.  I just always forget my camera or just dont think to pull it out so all the pictures posted are thanks to my friend Aryn!  Anyway so Friday when we got off work me and Ashlee started the drive up to Vegas.  We didnt hit much traffic and was there by 10.  That night we actually hung out with her cousin and his friends instead of going out since right when we got there they were leaving to go out, and we werent ready.  Plus I think Doug (ashlee's cousin) was excited to have us in town.  He works for a wedding chapel on the strip driving limo's so picked us up in the limo.  We then went to some 80's cover band, del taco then back to Dougs to hang out.  
        The next day was a total girls day.  We woke up all starving so got ready and then got food.  Then we spent the rest of the day walking around shopping and doing touristy things on the strip.   We ended up walking SOO FAR!!  our feet were killing up so we took a taxi back to our hotel (the Monte Carlo) and rested up before dinner.  For dinner we went to some sushi place that we had heard was soo good.  Well they had since changed the menu. it was not good at all.  Oh well.  We knew some people that could get us into a new club at the Wynn XS so we tried that out.  We saw Snoop Dogg there and got to dance with him for like 5 mins!!  That was fun...    After that we went to New York New York to this place Rok.  We ended up spending the rest of the night there.  It was pretty fun.  We were going to try one more place after that but all our feet hurt soo bad we just said forget lets put on pajama's and get food.
      Sunday all the other girls were leaving so they got ready and went to get food then head out. Me and Ashlee took our time and got ready then Doug called and invited us to church so we met up with him and went to his ward with him and his friends.  One of his friends Brandon invited us over for family dinner, so after church we all went over there.  There was a CES broadcast that night with Pres. Monson that his dad really wanted him to go too so we all went to that after.  The rest of the night we just hung out.  Brandon's parents let us stay at their grandparents house that they bought.  No one ever stays there so me and ashlee had our own place Sunday night which was nice.  We woke up monday morning got ready got lunch on the strip, walked around a little bit then headed home.  All in all it was a very fun weekend!  It had been awhile since I had been to Vegas and this trip was exactly what I needed!
Us getting breakfast/lunch Saturday afternoon!
These people were giving out free hugs... we gave them all free hugs then took pictures with them.  They all seemed semi normal except the guy with the shirt that said peace for cats (far left)

White Man!!  I love these guys!!  at the Venetian!
In Paris!  I had never actually been in this hotel.  its soo cute!
This was Saturday night.  we went to the hotel cafe in pajama's and socks to eat and they wouldnt let us walk like 10 feet to our table to eat without shoes so we sent Larisa and Anna to get shoes for us all.  This is what we all got.

Sounds like a really fun trip! The club sounds cool too, bummer about the sushi though. Glad you had fun and made it home safe!
