So last weekend I went down to ephraim to visit Shawn. Half way down there I thought it would be alot of fun to go down to Vegas. At first he thought I was kidding and was not about to let that happen. But after about an hour he got kind of excited about the idea and off we went to Vegas! Shawn's brother Josh and his wife Becca live down in Vegas with her parents so we called to make sure it would be okay before we really left but they happily let us stay with them (on opposite ends of the house for those of you wondering :P)
Shawn and I of course hadn't eaten all day when we decided to take this last minute road trip. Sooooooooooo the obligatory road trip grub...McDonalds.
20 minutes outside of Vegas we got stuck in a dead stop traffic jam. We figured it was for the normal reasons....invisible road construction. But as we started moving we discovered that it was a semi trailer on fire!! We tried to get a picture but none of them turned out.
Driving all day does wonders for your complexion. Finally!! We arrived at Vegas. Becca's very generous parents took us out to eat, thus beginning my new obsession with coconut steamed rice. After dinner we hit the strip with Josh and Becca.
First stop, The Lions Den at MGM. It was really pretty cool to be that up close and they were really really pretty cats. The only part that freaked me out was that all the trainers were just freely walking around and PLAYING with the Lions. Cool albeit a disaster waiting to happen!
They have this place called the mile long shops or something or other on the strip so we stopped in there. It was about that point in the day though that Shawn and I had just about had it! We were so tired! And when Shawn gets tired his hair turns blue and he offends Japanese people.
The next day our first stop on the Strip was Caesar's palace. Of course....Trouble follows Shawn and he had a little run in with the law. Meanwhile, Josh compared bald heads with a butler.
After Shawn's little skirmish with the officer we decided we want to watch the light show in Caesar's palace. So we waited.....
and waited.....aaaaaaaand...
That was about as exciting as the light show got because they forgot to fill the room with fog or something because you could see little lights turning on in the ceiling but you couldn't see them go anywhere.....
So we visited Pegasus....I don't think he liked us very much seeing as how he tried to stomp us to death.
Apparently in Vegas the statues live and breathe in Vegas and if you pay them you can get your picture taken with them. I think this statue dates back to the 13th century Rome....why is Shawn holding his hand???
This Statue was a little bit frisky and while we were taking the picture kept trying to get me to actually kiss him. But I had no idea where that grody chunk of marble has been soooooooo that didn't happen.
This is straight proof that evil does exist in Vegas. Creepiest thing ever.
Last stop in Vegas....THE COCA-COLA STORE!!!!!!! However...the Polar Bear wasn't in a very sharing mood. All I wanted was a drink rudey pants.
The Polar Bear liked Shawn alot better than he liked me. See that smug bear giving Shawn a hug while he death grips that giant bottle of coke? Shawn...I think its time you bring me back a polar bear's head.
