We flew into Vegas last Thursday stayed the night then rented a car to drive through Death Valley up to Mammoth Lakes, CA for a wedding. Then back to Vegas & now we're home.
It was not only an awesome vacation and break from the kids it was a great experience. Vegas+RoadTrip+Wedding.
Here is a glimpse of our trip full of mostly selfies. When you don't have the kiddos it seems the most logical way to take the pictures :) HOWEVER we did tote along our nice camera, tri-pod and handy-dandy remote - and used it A LOT!
Enjoy! (to see these and all the rest of the pictures click here)
Vegas! Day 1: Arrival
Classic selfie in the mirror
More traditional selfie in-front of random Vegas hotel
Day 2: Driving to Mammoth Lakes - through Death Valley
It was hothot. We got a reading of 111 - but I swear it was hotter than that. Dry & hot.
This is right around when there was a sign on the road telling us to turn our A/C off to prevent overheating?!! There were several things about that sign that made me nervous - but we made it :)
View coming out of Death Valley. Post-Card'esque from here on out.
We arrived!!! Our cabin for the next 2 nights
Rehearsal Dinner Time which involved a 20min drive up a mountain to catch a ride further up the mountain via a gonadal...pretty cool
The gondola ride back down - double fisting with my sis-in-law :)
Day 3: Wedding Day!
A few pre-wedding day activities - campground breakfast, family pics and kayaking with the boys :)
Oh to be young and silly. Brodie jumping into the VERY chilly water!!
Getting set up for the wedding
Having a little fun with the tri-pod and remote before the wedding :)
Wedding Time!
Reception Time - annnnnd thats where the pictures stopped for the night ;) 10pm-2am on the dance floor we were. A Moscow Mule might be my new favorite drink, although when you drink that many of them it could be a first and last situation. We'll see....
Day 4: Post wedding day. Driving back to Vegas - eeek. Looooong Day :/
But we made it & even managed to get dressed up and go out for a nice dinner :)
Day 5: Last full day
Our plan was to spend alllll day at the pool - check. 9am-5pm :)
Dinner & a little gambling filled the evening
Was this the picture that Kevin won $1.50 or $45?!!
Bye Bye Vegas.
A HUGE, couldn't have done it without you, Thank You - to Isa & Uncle Timmy (aka SuperParents) for taking care of and loving Logan & Reagan while we were gone. Makes it easier to leave when you know your kiddos are in good hands.
We are back now. Kiddos are thinking about being sick :/ They missed us - but I don't know how much...haha. Today Reagan and I had this coversation
Reagan: after naps maybe you and Daddy could go on a trip
Me: we just got back, why would you want us to leave again?
Reagan: so I can go to Isa's house and sleep in Olivias bed
lol.
Glad to be back.
