Dam Tour!


Well, my time in Vegas in Dwindling. Tonight was the last night. I was glad that I got to see my friend, Lesley. I haven't seen her in about a year. It is weird when you all grow up and move far away from each other. It is fun to have friends that you never grow apart from, though. I am very lucky to have a lot of those kinds of friends.

Today we ventured to Hoover Dam. I liked to go around and just say dam. I liked the dam tour. I bought a dam t-shirt. I enjoyed my dam slushie. Things like that. It was fabulous. I never really went on a tour so that was a totally new experience. It is pretty cool to ride the elevator far below and go in the cool, literally cool, tunnels. I cannot even begin to imagine what it was like to build that dam. What an amazing feat.

I didn't ever think I would say this but I am sick of eating out. I feel like I have gained a million pounds the past four days. Yuck. I will be glad to go back to regular food. I will also be glad to be back in my own bed, even though I highly enjoyed having a bigger bed. It is always nice to go away but it is also always nice to go back home too.

Well, night all!

Viva Las Vegas



We have been having a lot of fun in Vegas. Yesterday we just went and went and went. I spent too much money but I now have an Elvis clock that dances. You should come see it sometime at my apartment. Today we are going to The Hoover Dam. It should be fabulous.

Here are my favorite things about Vegas:

1. Drunk People: They are hilarious. You can play tricks on them.

2. The Bellagio Fountains: They are beautiful and relaxing. If it were up to me, I would sit there every night and just watch the fountain over and over again. You can see a very short video of it below this post.

3. Riding escalators and moving walkways: You can people watch. Another great thing about this is that you can do silly things like the robot or ride backward and people don't look at you weird because you are in Vegas and they assume you are drunk.

4. Casinos: People are just having a good time in there. I like how there are no clocks so time doesn't exist. It is nice and cool as to keep the people comfortable as to encourage them to stay longer and spend more money. There is also something about the ching ching that just makes me happy for some reason even though I am not much of a gambler; I like my money too much.

5. Hotels: Each one is unique. I like our hotel. It is the Stratosphere. It has an amusement park at the top of it and it kinda looks like The Space Needle in Seattle. My most favorite part of the hotel experience is the magic of coming back to a made bed at the end of the day. I wish that would happen at my apartment!

6. Live Statues: People are funny all painted and still. I made one of the statues smile yesterday because I creepily stared at him while he was doing the robot. Like we didn't know he wasn't a robot. Made my day to get to him. They are supposed to be all stoic but he was not!

Well, gotta run to the Dam. Later.

My Favorite Place in Vegas!

Knights Inn

In Cedar City, we stayed at the Knight's Inn. I never saw a Knight the whole time I was there. That is false advertising if you ask me! :) Anjai and I were hoping that we would find our Knights in shining armor here and then we could take them to Vegas to get married. I guess that is not going to happen thanks to the lack of Knights at the Knights Inn! We will now journey to Vegas! Yipee!

Birthday Festivities.



After the dancing, we came back to the hotel and celebrated Josh's birthday. We sung horribly, a Bills tradition, and ate cake.

The hotel we are staying in gave us that handy key. I keep telling Anjai that I hope we do not lose the sticky note attached to the key or we will be in trouble; we will have no idea what room number we are in! Funny! Don't forget to read the previous blog for more about our Cedar City adventures.
