Spring Break and Las Vegas= FUN!

For spring break (and my birthday) Logan decided to take me to Las Vegas again. We loved going last time and had just as much fun this time! We went with Cory and Shaely and we are so glad we had someone to travel with! We drove down Thursday night and stayed at my aunt and uncle's home in St. George and loved visiting with them. Then we got up bright and early the next morning to head the Vegas. Once we got there, we drove down the strip to get familiar with where everything was and parked at the Luxor hotel at the south end of the strip. From there we walked down the strip and checked out a few stores like the Coca~Cola shop and M&M World. We even got to watch a 3-D movie at M&M World. We then checked out what shows were going on that evening and decided on a magic show.
Later that night we checked into our hotel and went to dinner, then the magic show. It was a small audience kind of low key but they had some really cool magic tricks that made even master magician Logan go, "WOW". After the show, it was dark and a perfect time to show Cory and Shaely how amazing the Belagio fountains were. The first song we saw was, God Bless the USA, and the fountain work on it was really breath taking. While it was dark, we walked down the strip to catch some other night performances live the Volcano but didn't make it to Treasure Island in time. So we headed back to the car and went to the hotel. We were all beat! We had been walking all day and were so exhausted we fell right to sleep.

Saturday morning was beautiful. We slept in, went and got breakfast and then went swimming! At 10am! It was so warm and we had a blast! Definitely got us ready for summer here! After swimming for some time we got ready and went to lunch. When we left the restaurant I realized that I forgot my purse in there hanging on the chair. So we went back immediately and it was gone. I was so upset! Not only was my wallet in there, but my keys (which had two keys to my mazda and they are about $75 to have made) and our new camera we purchased at Christmas time (that had all of our pictures on it, which is why you haven't seen any yet :) ). Cory and Shaely were good troopers for hanging out until we got all our credit cards and bank accounts straightened out and went to the police department to fill out a report. Then there was nothing else to do but to move on and continuing having fun. So we went back to the strip and went to the top of the Stratosphere- which is THE tallest building on the strip and anywhere close by- and while Cory and Shaely rode one of the rides they have up there, Logan and I enjoyed the view. It was like I was looking at a google map of the surrounding area, we were so high up, you could see into people's backyards and see for miles!
We went to a few other places on the strip that night that we wanted to see and then went to my birthday dinner. After dinner, we wanted to show Cory and Shaely the Fremont St. experience, so we went there and walked around for a bit and then headed home. We were also beat that night with all the crazy things that happened.

We woke up early on sunday morning and headed home. We decided to stop in Cedar City to take the sacrament and so we found a church and got there right on time only to find that the ward that was supposed to be there, had just moved to another building. So, we headed off. Just down the street from the church, Logan was getting hot and got out of the car to change his pants to some shorts and took his phone and wallet out and set them on the back of the car. He changed and got distracted by someone driving by and got right in the car. We took off and about an hour down the road, Cory says, "Logan, look up on your phone where the next church will be at around 1:00. (Logan has a smart phone) Then for the first time, realized that he didn't grab his phone off the car was kinda bummed. Then a couple minutes later, realized that he didn't have his wallet either. I thought he was just joking, but he wasn't and it was such a weird feeling knowing that you have basically nothing. So I started calling all of Logan's credit card companies to get him all squared away. I could not believe our luck.
We stopped at Jay and Emily's house on the way home for a break and it was nice talking to them. Then we headed the rest of the way home and were glad to get there even though I would have a ton of work to do the next day.

That was our spring break and I hope everyone had as much fun as we did, without the bad luck!
