The Best Husband EVER!

Last year for Christmas, beacause we were so broke, Travis gave everyone something special with him and my gift was a trip on the Harleys to Vegas. We took the last possible weekend that MIGHT be warm and headed off. We were absolutely freezing the first two hours but then it warmed up and by the time we got there we were shedding all riding layers we could. We spent 4 days away and it was so much fun and a much needed time of rest after all the wedding festivities and the last few crazy months of life.

We stayed at the Excalibur, very cool and full of the Vegas nightlife. Cured my wanting to ever start smoking again, we were all sick by the second night of eating around all the smoking and just walking through the Casino's. It is surely a different life than most people have seen or probably ever been around, especially if you have never lived in a big city or near one. Travis is definately a city kid, for sure. Rob and Alison meet us down there for a few days and showed us the good buffetts and other cool places to go. I think that there are so many things to see there that you could go 50 times and still never enjoy all that there is.

We hit the Belagio the first morning and then hung out for the water show. The food was amazing. I got hooked on eggs benidict, I used to love that and hadn't had it for years.

The water show was unreal. I was watching it wondering how they make it all work. It was really wild and amazing how far they can shoot the water and how they designed it to all look so cool together doing so many different things within the 10 minute show that it was.
We caught a limo home one night from downtown after watching the light show there. Rob and Alison are so much fun to go with on trips, thanks for making our trip fun. :) It was so nice to just walk around and look at whatever we wanted and not have a kid nagging about being hungry or bored or needing to pee or that they wanted you to drop a hundred dollars on them for something stupid toy that they would hate by the time you got home.
Rob and Alison headed home after another awesome buffett sunday morning so we headed for Hoover Dam on the Harley's. It was so hot out, like 95', and there was a ton of traffic as we got closer but once we got there it was really beautiful. It is so amaxing how they constructed the dam and how the men back then had the knowledge to make something so important in such a quality way. This is right on the border of Nevada and Arizona which is still so weird to me. I said to Travis, "Hey, isn't this where Selma had her baby?" "Fools Rush In", ya I know, random.

This picture is on the other side where they are constructing another awesome structure to by-pass the actual dam. You can see the beginning of the arch, it was cool. Travis was like a kid and had to drop a few pennies off the dam to see it fall to its death and to never be used again.

All in all it was a great trip and we were not all that excited to get home except to sleep in our own bed. We did stop off at Joe Bandito's in Springville for the Aloha Casadilla, you will need to have one if you never have. It's a dive but the food is great. So did I mention how lucky I am to have the best husband ever? He really is so good to me and after almost 20 years of being married, we couldn't be happier!!!! Just what every girl dreams of when she gets married!
