The superb vaycay

Alright folks, here are finally some pictures from our little vacation to home/vegas. As soon as we got our sweet cheap flights back in oh, about April, we were counting down. We had a really great time, and a part of me wished I could of just stayed there and just have someone pack all our bags here in Hawaii, and move on to the next stage in our life, but alas we are back, and I can't complain.fair warning, I am TERRIBLE at trying to condense the amount of pictures I should use to recap any event, but I'll try to keep it not-so-out-of-control.

We...(not necessarily in complete order)

...went to the gorgeous Las Vegas temple for the first time. Absolutely beautiful.


Celebrated our first anniversary in Vegas for the weekend and got a sweet deal to stay at
THE TRUMP. It was lovely. They even had framed pictures in our room of Antelope Slot Canyon. I'm pretty sure they customized it, JUST for me.
Got our new dos (as you have already seen),ate at all the places we missed,and even took our chances at the slots

...and were carded immediately upon arrival at the roulette table. I would of taken a picture then, but I was too embarrassed and wasn't sure if it's allowed?

Moving on.
Saw the Blue Man Group, which was AWWWWESOME. We loved it. (We got a bargain on those tickets too, thank you very much! We were all about the deals, and they were even really good seats)
And of course, play on da LAKE. We even camped out under the stars, it was beyond great. Ok ok, so the ground wasn't very soft, but that's the only complaint :)
Lake Powell is one of my favorite, if not THE most favorite places of mine to be. Maybe it's because it's quite nostalgic. I'm am so completely at home and 'in my element' if you will, when I'm boating with family and friends, and just swimming in that perfect degree water. It's so gorgeous! Truly blessed to have grown up next to it. I've come to realize that I really enjoy living next to water...

Hiking "Hole in the Rock." It was quite the little hike! It was where the pioneers hiked down with wagons, families, and livestock. I can't believe they did it! And at that time there was no lake, so we looked at the depth reader on the boat, and it was another 300 feet down!

That little white speck is our boat!



We even convinced my dad to go on the tube!
(PS for the record I completed wasted Dave and Wolfgang on the tube, they didn't think I was a good enough driver...I showed them! I wish I had a video of it)

It was a great time enjoyed by all!
