So we woke up early and headed out to Las Vegas! I have never really been to Las Vegas outside of driving through it a million times and the airport, so I was pretty excited just to see the sights. Unfortunately the WIND decided to be mean, and ruined some things. When we first got there Trevor wanted to take me on the rides up at the top of the stratosphere. We get there buy our tickets just to find out the winds were too high so they were not running any of the rides... bummer. We got to at least see the cool views up top :) Trevor really likes to gamble with free play. So he knows all the tricks to getting free slot play through signing up with Players Clubs, haha. So I gambled for the first time! woot woot, didn't do too amazing but oh well, it was fun! The wind also stopped the Pirate Show from being able to perform. So thanks again wind! The Bellagio water show really is amazing. You see it in all the movies and pictures but you really don't know how cool it is until you are there. It was really really cool. The shopping in Vegas is one word.... INSANE! Oh how I wish I was loaded, I could do some serious damage in Vegas. The malls were amazing! Trevor kept singing the one line "That's what you get for waking up in Vegas!" He didn't know much of the rest of the song, and anything he saw that he could apply it to he would. We made it into a game and who could ever say it with the funniest moment got a point.... I think Trevor won. It ended up being pretty fun. We hit the Paris for a buffet which was amazing. Trevor got really excited when he saw the crab... he ate SO much haha. After we continued walking around and looking at all the cool sites. We stopped at the Coca Cola store and took a "Tastes of the World!" &Got to try a bunch of different sodas from all over the world! It was pretty cool... most of them were gross but we voted the best was Paraguay! After walking so much I literally had blisters and I thought my feet were going to fall off we drove back to St.George and literally fell asleep the second my head hit the pillow.... as Trevor reminded me, "Some people just can't handle Vegas." haha :)
Driving to VEGAS!
Me and Trevor at the top of the Stratosphere! It was really dark so it didn't turn out good.
Here is a better one, yet you can't really tell we are at the top of the stratosphere!
Big time gambler :)
I love this one because of Trevor's face.
Very HAPPY to be at the BUFFET! YUM food :)

Are you READY for this?!
Trevor totally didn't pose for this, I laughed so hard after I caught this on camera.

Amazing sink and bathroom all around at the Paris hotel.
So this past week was mine and Trevor's Spring Break. We worked the first half (no bueno) and then headed down for a quick trip down to Sunny St.George to visit his family and get some sunshine. Trevor knew I had never really been to Las Vegas (except driving through a million times as a kid and maybe stopping at a buffet once which I barley even remember) so he decided to take me down for a day when we were there. I was pretty excited to finally walk around and see the place instead of just driving by. When we were down in St.George Trevor wanted to take me to go shoot some clay pigeons. He told me to grab the bullets and we were on our way. OF course AFTER we drove all the way out there and got out of the car... Trevor forgot to bring the shot gun. OH man. We didn't have time to go back and get it and come back because Trevor's mother had given us specific instructions on when we needed to be back for dinner. Instead of making the outing a waste Trevor and I stopped at a statue tribute of Sarah Sturdevant Leavitt. In case you didn't know, my maiden name is Leavitt and the Leavitt family was a big part of the settling of the city St.George. Kind of funny I married someone from there, and I am from San Diego. He grew up and went to school with more people related to me then I have probably ever known. Anyways, they have this cool statue of her and around her the statues of the heads of all her children. So I took some pictures with my great great great great grandmother Sarah, and her son Thomas Rowell Leavitt (who moved to Alberta which is why I was born there!) I must say out of all her children, at least by judgment of the statue... Thomas was definitely the best looking. Yay for my genes ;) haha.
Trevor NOT happy about forgetting the shot gun...
SUPER windy out there on top of the hills.

Kisses for the Grandpa!
See I told you he was good looking :)
Later me and Trevor played Later me and Trevor played Wii.... Is it just me or am I the ONLY one who gets super sore after playing Wii? Anyways I found out that I am amazing at online archery... yup that is right. pretty dang good. I am also good at a slicing competition. If only these gifts counted for something. that night me and Trevor and his sister Courtney and her husband Eric all went to go hot tubbing. Man I wish I had a hot tub... I would use it every night! All in all it was a great day of hanging out with family and relaxing :) Went to bed excited for Vegas in the morning!
Thanks for stopping by! My name is Alycia, and this blog has been such a fun space for me to share everything from the very meaningful, the mundane, and the frivolous stuff that falls inbetween. I guess you could say this is a digital journal of sorts! I believe that life should be enjoyed and celebrated, and invite you to join along in the party! ❤
