We're back! It was so much fun and such a great time. The weather was BEAUTIFUL everyday! It was around low 80's every day and sunny - so much better than the 50's and rainy/cloudy that's been in Iowa. We got to basically do everything we wanted to, and then some! A few things we didn't do was see the famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign and ride the Sahara rollercoaster, but we did get to do extra stuff like going to the stop of the Stratosphere, going to downtown Vegas, etc. On Thursday night when we got there we didn't get there until later than expected (waiting to be picked up, getting to our hotel, checking in, etc.) and were STARVING! So we went to Margaritaville, ate, got some margaritas, and then started to wander down the strip a bit. Friday we woke up, ate breakfast, and then went up the strip towards New York, New York. We went to Planet Hollywood, MGM, Bellagio, Ceasars Palace, etc. Saturday we went up the strip the opposite way and went to downtown Vegas and went on the Stratosphere. Sunday we went to Pawn Stars and putted around for our last day there. It was a lot of fun, but definitely expensive. We threw some money in every few places, and Josh was up $60 at one point, but lost it all. I was up $8 and lost that haha. But we had a lot of fun - it would definitely be fun to go back with a group of friends! Here are some of the pictures from the weekend:

Those are all the pictures it'll let me post for now - more tonight!! Only 4 more weeks of school left..holy cow!<3
Well..tomorrow is the big day! It seems like back in January it was so far away, and not seems like it's right HERE! (Well...because it is!). It has been hard concentrating the past few days, and it's a good thing we've just been testing here at school because it is sometimes hard to keep the butterflies down! I finished packing on Sunday, and Josh finished on Monday. The good news is that we got everything we needed in our luggage (which meets the weight requirements!) and everything in our carry-on (which also meets the height requirements), AND we actually have room for an extra carry-on (we have 1 suitcase together, and each of us can have a carry-on). So far we just have the one and have been filling it full...so that means we can take an EXTRA carry-on and bring back our souvenirs! Yay! I feel like I won't really know what to think until 6:00P.M. tomorrow when we're sitting in the airport. It's about a 3 hour flight, so shouldn't be too bad. Maybe we can take a movie and watch it on the laptop or something. Once we get there though, there are several things we (I) want to do, including (but not limited to!):
-M&M World
-Margaritaville
-Ride "Speed"
-See the Pawn Stars shop
-Check out the free stuff (fountains, lions, etc.)
-See the Shark Reef
-Check out all the little shops
-Coyote Ugly
I really can't wait! So much to see and do...I'll post some good pictures once we're back. Can't wait! :)
Two weeks from today I'll be sitting in Vegas getting ready to view this:
CAN'T WAIT!!
