Las Vegas, Day Numero Uno

Hello! I know it's been forever but it feels good to be back! For our anniversary, Blake surprised me with a road trip to vegas to go see the Blue Man Group, something that has been on our couple bucket list for, well, the past year! Guys, Vegas is SOOO FUN! :) I'm thinking I will have to split this post into two parts because we did so many fun things, but I'm so excited to share it with you guys.

Day One

Here's us before we began our road trip to the gambling capitol of the world. 

We look significantly less cool when we don't have our sunglasses on haha

The drive there was gorgeous because Utah was confusing the seasons again so we actually got to see snow in the beautiful red rock mountains around St. George. When we arrived it was a little cloudy in Vegas, which was surprising, usually it's sweltering hot and the sun burns you in like two minutes. Maybe that's just me actually. 

We stayed at the Luxor, which is basically the coolest hotel in Vegas, and it's so close to the strip and all the shops! I'm so glad we stayed there, it was so fun!

We felt like dorks walking in cause we took a giant cooler with us filled with snacks and drinks for the trip and people were looking at us like we were alcoholics or something haha! One guy even stopped us and, looking expectantly at our cooler, he said "Beers?" He would have been so disappointed if he knew it really only had a few snacks, drinks and a half gallon of milk for some cereal we brought! Oh Vegas!

After we settled in, we decided we should go to the Las Vegas Temple, and I'm so glad we did, it is an absolutely gorgeous temple! It's crazy because from the temple you can see the Vegas Strip, they are only a half hour drive from each other. I loved that we went our first day, it was a real comfort to look around me and see the many people who came to the temple in a city like this. I think it really set the tone for our trip, and I'm so grateful for all the blessings of the temple.

Such a beautiful temple! Neither of us had ever been before, it is always awesome to visit new temples!

Sorry this is sooo out of focus! We always try to get someone to take our picture together, but people don't know how to use cameras anymore. I think after the selfie was invented people forgot how to focus the camera on something far away and not themselves lol

That's my cutie right after the temple! So handsome!

And there's the temple in the nighttime!

After we went out and ate at one of our favorite restaurants, In-n-Out! It was so delicious and a perfect end to the first day of our trip!
