I probably should be doing something else...working on 3 papers I have due, making dinner, etc. But posting a new blog while watching some of my favorite t.v. shows is just much more exciting. So, here is a quick recap of our spring break in Vegas. We left for Sunday evening after Matt got off work. Before we had even reached 10600 S. we had a speeding ticket scare. All the sudden I hear Matt say a not very nice word and look in his rear view mirror. Surprised, I ask "what?" and he says he just passed a cop without realizing or slowing down. We look back again and this is similar to what we saw catching up to us.
Well, maybe that's an exaggeration but the cop was hauling some serious booty. Luckily the cop pulled over the car driving in front of us or that would NOT have been a good way to start off our trip. Anyway, we spent the rest of our drive ticket free and made it to my parent's house in St. George at about 10:30. The next morning we headed into Las Vegas and stopped at Fashion Show mall before we checked in at the Excalibur.

This was only the second time I've ever been to Vegas to stay and not just be passing through. We tried to make the most of each day there and of course, me being the buffet lover that I am, we had to eat at a variety of them. If any of you haven't been to the World Carnival buffet at The Rio, I highly recommend it. We also went to the M&M and Coca-Cola stores, a car show at Imperial Palace, saw the Blue Man Group, went to Madame Tussaud's wax museum, and did our fair share of walking - which was needed after the buffets. We also hit up some slot machines. Matt enjoyed this more than I did. I wasn't ever very lucky and usually ended up losing my money quickly. I realized gambling just makes me grumpy. 
Unfortunately, we won this and then lost it...plus some more.We did have fun taking pictures with the "celebrities" at the wax museum though.

Hello Tim McGraw!

This is Matt driving the first time we decided to take the car. We thought it would be a good idea so that we didn't have to walk back to Excalibur at 12:30 a.m. after seeing Blue Man Group. Too bad it took us more than an hour in traffic to drive about a mile on the strip. So, we decided to walk EVERYWHERE after that. We definitely got some exercise while in Vegas...and the blisters on my feet to prove it!
