Rachael drove Cooper & I back to Vegas on Sunday (feb 26) to meet up with my good ol pal Jenni. (I finally had to go see her after ALL of her trips to see us!) On our way we stopped really quick to see the Hoover Dam (insanely huge) & didn't discuss the fact that I was leaving. :( We met up with Jenni in her ward & enjoyed Sacrament Mtg there. (Cooper was extremely loud eating, burping, & laughing) Finally it was time to say goodbye to Rach & Charly. It was so sad to say goodbye to one of my bestest friends. I love that girl.
Enough depressingness. Now onto the funtimes we had with Tiger (Jenni) in Vegas! There's no way I can possibly write out ALLLL that we did but I will try. :) First let me just say that you know you have a true friend WHEN.....they greet you with CUPCAKES! yes yes Jenni made a mad delish batch of rainbow chip cupcakes. AH-mahzing!
Vegas Adventures included but were not limited to:
-driving down 'the strip' at night to see ALL the lights
-visiting the LV LDS Temple (so so pretty)
-eating some dang delicious food
-candy, candy, & more candy
-walking all the way up & down the strip (basically)
-the bellagio's fountains, the venetian's gondolas, the wall of water at Aria, & SO much more.
-we encountered someone that we are still not sure if it was a man or a woman
-drove around the gorgeous Red Rock mountains
-ate the BIGGEST pancake known to man (Man vs Food had been there-it's called Hash House A Go Go. You should Go Go if you're ever in Vegas)
-Took in some second hand smoke walking through the Casinos & watching the grandma's gambling in the mornings.
-Toured the Neon Bone Yard-where neon signs go to die
-Margaritaville, M&M store, Albertsons :)
Now on to the billion pictures we took & they are is a crazy order.

Cooper & I had such a fun time with Jenni. She was so nice to put aside work for a couple of days for us. She was an awesome tour guide! I can't wait to go back with lots more dough so we can see some shows! I love that Jenni & I make sure we see each other at least once a year. Jenni is an awesome friend. Now she just needs to move to the south. :)
