What happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas--it goes on our blog!

Yay for vacations! Las Vegas was awesome, and we're so glad and grateful we were able to go. We went with my parents and then met my sister and brother-in-law in Salt Lake on the way back, so even more than seeing all the sites, it was fun to be with family. I decided the best way to share our Vegas experience was through pictures/captions, and a few highlights and lowlights. :)

Top 7 (we couldn't decide on just five!):
1. Cirque du Soleil's "O" show
2. Bellagio Buffet
3. Hoover Dam/Lake Mead
4. 75-80 degree weather
5. Beautiful red rock and mountains
6. The Strip
7. The Rat Pack performance

Bottom 5:
1. Blisters on my feet (four hours of walking on the strip!)
2. Scantily clothed women everywhere
3. Sleeping on a hide-a-bed
4. Traffic
5. Paradise Buffet (gross--we learned our lesson and went to the Bellagio Buffet!)

I love seeing all your pictures! When I come visit I'll have to see them all first hand! I'm so excited for summertime, you and Adam are going to have to play with Andy and me! It's so cute, Andy was talking to me the other day about how when we get married we probably won't really have any typical "married friends" that we always hang out with, and then he said, "Well, except maybe Kathryn and Adam. I like them." I thought it was cute :)

Yay! Vegas! I love Vegas, except for the "scantily clothed" and not-so-clothed-at-all women. LOL. I have been there a billion times. Did you do the Nascar coaster on the strip? Or the rides on the Stratosphere? Or the NY NY rollercoaster? Well, the Nascar one is the best and the best buffet I have been to in Vegas was at Mandaly Bay in the newer addition, but Bellagio is yummy too. Did you go to the shark reefs at Mandalay bay??

Oh, you make me want to go again so badly. I hope you had a great time.
