Stays in Vegas... but I will still talk about the trip because it was so so so much fun that I just HAVE to talk about it. From the very beginning of the trip, our drive to the Grand Canyon where, yes, the west is very much like the make it to be in all the movies, to the suprise helicopter ride (dad's surprise) to the Hoover Dam! city lights, awesome shows, Mystere, the shopping and the gorgeous Garden of the Gods pool at the Ceasar's palace, it was alll sooo what I needed. I am so glad that I was able to get away and see new things, meet new people and enjoy being far away. I have to say, life out there, especially out by the Grand Canyon is so different that what it is like here in Michigan and in the eastern part of the country. I don't know if it's just me, but time goes by so slowly, the days are everlasting and people just enjoy time better, it's like...time is the most abundant luxury out there. Even in Vegas, people go out there to lounge and relax, my perception is that fast-paced life is non-existant out there. It was all great though, it was soo new to me and so different, but so good. The Canyon lodges are up in the mountains in the middle of nowhere, where...cell phones don't get a signal, the town is less than a mile long, there are 3 restaurants, a bunch of souvenir stores, one general store and all these buildings look like they are falling apart, sooo rustic, but nice, very welcoming, even the woods, the park, nature is welcoming. There is also an IMAX theatre, that of course plays a short documentary about the Grand Canyon. I have, easily over 250 pictures from the entire trip, I will not even attempt to share all of them, because that would take an eternity but I will share a good bunch of them with y'all, I am very excited about doing so! I committed a great stupidity. I took two cameras with me, Lola, my baby, she is the love of my life and she is bruised!!!! Her lense is not fitting in properly so I have to get her checked, but she held in there and gave us some great pictures and then a tiny camera, which doesn't really inspire me to name her, but I still like it (I do notice that I refer to cameras by "her") anyway, I was trying to make the tiny camera take normal pictures instead of fine so that we could get more pictures into it and I very stupidly deleted all the pictures that we had already taken, most importantly the pictures from the helicopter ride, inside the helicopter, that were absolutely adorable and I really hate myself for that, I cried the whole night, not believing that I had done that. WE still have some from that day, but I so wish I could get the deleted pictures back. A side from that, we ate, we drank, we walked, we saw, we did, and my parents gambled ha!
If you had asked me before how I felt about going to Las Vegas, I would have said, no way forget it, never going there!
If you ask me now, I will say, I will go back someday.
We got up at 5 am to go watch the sunrise over the grand canyon and this was the first picture of the sun creeping up the canyon, it was freezing cold, and i had to stand on this rock that if I had fallen, I would have def. broken a bone, but it was so worth it.
My favorite favorite hotel in Las Vegas was the Venetian, such a beautiful hotel, I however stayed like 2 blocks away at the Caesar's Palace.
This is a picture from the helicopter ride coming in to the Grand Canyon, scary and so exciting at the same time!
