We Love the Vegas

We took off last Sunday night to Vegas. We got great deals to go, 3 of the 4 tickets were $29 one way. The plane was delayed an hour on our flight out--that didn't put a damper on a trip at all, but as we were getting ready to board they had the news playing at the airport and they were showing a plane crash, they plane landed to fast and it pretty much blew up the thing and killed a lot of people, so that wasn't very nice of them--I'm already scared of flying. We stayed with Adam's sister Kim and her family on Sunday and Monday night. While everyone was at work and school--me and Adam were outside a lot of the day soaking up the sun rays--it was so nice there! We checked out a couple of the hotel/casino's, and that night we played with the kids and went to in and out burger, good times.

The next morning we took off at 5:30 am and headed to Phoenix...I LOVED it! It had to be in the 80's...there wasn't a cloud in the sky, palm trees all over...and it was just beautiful sunny and green! And the funny thing is we went to quite a few places that day and I was about the only one wearing shorts there--I guess it must've been to cold for everyone else. That night we stayed with his grandparents--they were so cute. They have some citrus trees in their back yard--so breakfast the next morning was amazing, freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh grapefruit...and a lot of other fruit and healthy stuff. I love Arizona!

That afternoon we headed back to Vegas--and I was able to meet up with Emily that night--it was so fun to see her again! We haven't seen each other for quite a while--it was fun to see where she lived (which is so dang cute) and catch up. The next day we went to another casino place and we threw down some money on some slot machine's, it was really fun--we just played 5 cent black jacket and penny slot machines--we just put in a dollar and it lasts forever.I flew out that afternoon...soon to find out why the tickets were so cheap. I got to the airport around 1:30...my flight was at 3:30--we boarded the plane and just sat on there forever--it was about 4:10 and we still hadn't moved..finally they got on the intercom and said the plane was broken, so we got off and loaded back on a spare plane (which took another hour) when we finally took off we got to about Utah, I'd say about half way, and they said the plane wouldn't pressurize, so we had to turn around and go back to Vegas...and wait for a 3rd plane. At this point I was SO frustrated and tired and was about to cry, I was already scared to fly--and all of the planes were broken. So about an hour later, we board the 3rd plane...and thankfully made it safely to Idaho Falls at almost 11. It was a long day. Adam flew back on Sunday--had a better flight--it left and landed on time...but he got to come home to a blizzard. So on our treacherous drive back that was one sheet of ice --with cars all over off the road...us going 20-25 mph the whole way...we decided that we are so sick of this weather--we've lived in it long enough, and it's time to move. Here are some pictures from our trip...
