I Love Vacations :)

This past weekend me and a group of friends took a little vacation. On Thursday Me, Stacie, and Kayla left for St.George for the day/night. We decided to leave a day earlier than everyone else because 1-we could get work off and 2-we didn't want to drive all the way to Vegas at once. We spent that afternoon/night sitting by the pool doing absolutely nothing. It was amazing. I forgot how much I LOVE the weather in St.George! I even got to see one of my best friends while growing up and got to meet her fiance :) Friday morning we went to breakfast with my friend John at a cute little cafe. I ended up seeing Grandma Wilkey, Aunt Stephanie & Uncle Randy, Aunt Ann & Uncle Walt, and Aunt Linda & Uncle Garth. What are the odds of seeing a bunch of family at a random cafe in St.George on a Friday morning? I thought it was pretty funny :)

Then Friday afternoon we headed down to Vegas. We stayed at Kayla's aunts house. She was so nice to let us crash there, and she made the BEST food for us :) We spent all day Friday shopping (I only bought 1 shirt and some nail polish... no idea how that happened). During our shopping we even found the famous VEGAS sign--so of course we had to stop and take a picture!

We then spent most of the rest of the night on the strip just walking around. We were very entertained by people watching and trying to pick out who was Mormon.

Saturday was the BEST day of the ENTIRE vacation. The rest of the group came down Friday night.. and then Saturday morning we all went to Lake Mead. We spent 10 hours there! It was SO much fun!
The banana boat absolutely terrified me. I think more than anything riding on the FRONT of the banana boat was what was scary. I was screaming like a baby the entire ride. But it was still a lot of fun.
The BEST part was when we had 7 people on a total of 2 tubes. It was AMAZING.
Saturday night the rest of the group that came down late wanted to go to the strip. We went, and lasted probably not even an hour because we were all SO dead tired.
Sunday was our drive home. We had to do the entire drive that day. Blah. But, luckily, for the last 4o miles or so we had this wonderful boy to entertain us....
He even got off the same exit as us in Provo :)

It was a great trip... but now I'm back home and it's time to snap back into reality... which means 40+ hour work weeks. Oh the joys of growing up :)
