Thanksgiving in Vegas!!!

Me and Brad didn't have any work Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving, so we decided to hit up LAS VEGAS!! It was kind of a spontaneous trip, but of course those are always the best! After reading the blog of one of my friends, Tori Goodrich, she convinced us to stay at the Golden Nugget after talking about how fun it was. It was a BLAST!! There swimming pool was incredible!!! They had a shark tank right in the middle of the pool and a water slide that went through the shark tank. Thanks Tor for the good idea:). Here are some random pics from the trip...
The first night we got there, we hit up the Las Vegas temple. It was beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I promise we felt bad for a millisecond to leave the temple and then gamble our lives away, but I guess it's just all part of the Vegas experience.
Of course we couldn't help but go to the Bellagio water show, it's always tradition I'm sure for everyone that goes to Vegas. The Bellagio is famous for there seasonal decorations inside, they are so fun to look at. The pictures of course never do justice, so I'm sorry about the darkness.
While walking the strip, we had to hit up the M&M store, Coca-Cola factory, and the Miracle Mile shops, and of course check out all the pornography on the ground. Ha-jokes, but they were all so fun to see again.....well except for the nography.
This was the first year we walked down Freemont Street. It seriously was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. If any of you guys haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. That's the screen/ceiling behind us.
These next pictures are the reason we stayed at the Golden Nugget. It was honestly the most incredible swimming pool I have ever been in. We couldn't get enough of the water slide that went through the sharks tank. Every time we went down we tried so hard to stop in the middle of the slide so we could get a good look at it, but we ended up looking like the biggest idiots with are legs and arms spread out to try and stop ourselves. Everyone could see us from outside every time we went down.
There were some other fun pics we took but it takes me about 25 mins to upload every picture, so here is a good little taste. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year!!

Oh nice! I'm so glad you stayed there, it is seriously our favorite hotel to stay at- then again, I think I've only stayed at one other major one but I still the the good ol' GN is way fun. Glad to hear you guys had so much fun, at least you even went to the temple, think of how many times I've been to Vegas and haven't even seen it. SAD! Maybe our next girls trip? We need to plan one for sure!

Ok, pretty sure if my Mom didn't live in Vegas I would be staying at the Nugget EVERY time I went there. Maybe one trip we'll have to splurge and stay there anyway. That pool looks amazing. That's all there is to say really.

Hi! I found your blog through Emily's! Thanksgiving sounded like fun in VEGAS! That is so cool you did that! I love the sharks, that is my favorite creature on the planet. We still have those thank-you cards at Rescue Alert! Funny huh! We always look at them and wonder if we should throw them away!! :)

Wow! That is seriously soo cool. K next time I go.. Im stayin there!! Hands down! Oh, thanks for the comment Melis, Its so nice to have love and support. Honestly, this might sound gay.. but I thought of you when I got diagnosed, cuz Id heard of you being diagnosed with Diabetes.. I didnt want to mention it cuz I wasnt sure if it was suppose to be a secret.. But I totally thought of you and kinda felt like we're both experiencing something that seems like only an 80 year old goes thro.. not someone in their early 20's! Ya kno? I dunno about u.. but its turned out to be a big reality check and incredible blessing for me.. Just being grateful for the things I do have.. ya kno! Im sure you kno exactly what Im sayin.. anyways! Thanks again for the comment, if you need anything let me kno!! Maybe we can do a double dinner date or something! That'd be super fun!
