St George and Vegas Trip

During the first weekend of February Spencer, Heather, Jackie and I all went down to St. George to stay in Spencer's gram's condo. During this trip we went shopping, swimming and went to Vegas. Jackie and I drove down separate from Spencer and Heather and we had so much fun. Not only did we talk and laugh, but we had some great tunes that we sang and danced too. It was a great drive down (and we had as much fun driving home). When we got there we all went to In-N-Out for lunch and then shopping at the Outlet Mall. We had a friend that was in St George for a music convention and we hooked up with her to go to dinner at the Pizza Factory. After dinner we all dawned our swim suits and went swimming where Jackie taught us the best Water Aerobic moves. The next day Aunt Penny came over and hung out with us before we went to Vegas for the day. I was supposed to go to her, but it got so late, that she decided to come hang with us. It was such a nice visit with Penny Spice. I love visiting with her. I know that we will alway have a great laugh when we are together!

Our drive into Vegas was kind of sad and depressing as it was raining the whole way. I was a little worried about walking the strip, but the heavens opened as we pulled off the freeway and it did not rain until we started the walk back down the strip to go home. We went into all the Casinos (and no, there was no gambling), shops, anything that we could. I am not a huge fan of Vegas, but it was so much fun as the rain made everyone stay inside and the guys passing out porn cards were not outside. I did get to go to Sephora where I was in make-up heaven. My friends did not have as much fun as I did. I could have spent hours there and not just 45-min. While we were in Sephora Mecqae and Ruth (the friends that were in for the music convention) met up with us to finish the day in Vegas. We ended up walking to the Wynn where we waited in line for almost an hour to pay $45 to eat an all you could eat buffet. It was seafood night and it was DELICIOUS!! I think we ate ourselves sick. It was good times!! When we exited the Wynn it started to drizzle a little. Jackie had never been to Vegas so we watched the water show at the Belagio a couple of times. By then everyone was soaked to the bone. As we drove back to St. George we were five minutes from the exit to go back to Gram's house when Spencer got pulled over. He was given a warning as the light above his license plate was out. I would never know if mine was out. We had a good laugh as it was about 3am.

The next day we went to church where some guy gave the most uncomfortable talk. Then we were back on the road home. It was such a fun trip and I can't wait to go on another one.
Jackie and I on our way to In-N-Out. Can you see our excitement?
At the In-N-Out waiting to get our orders in. We were a happy bunch!!
Dinner wtih the group at The Pizza Factory. Who doesn't love their breadsticks?? I know I sure do!!
I love, love, love the Sephora!! I wish that we had one closer than Vegas!
This is me before the rains came down!! We actually look good, and not so tired!! Just you wait though! :)
And now you can see how wet I am. My coat did not protect me very well either. I was soaked through and through. It was nice to get in a warm comfy car!!
