Staycation!


July 1st-6th, 2015

Overlook of my staycation in July:

Wednesday, July 1:
After a few days of being in Montana, I came home and meet my aunt (Elizabeth) and cousins (Ryan and Morgan) at the airport in Las Vegas. I went home and grabbed a few clean outfits and then we headed to the hotel. We had a chill night with looking at the lights of the strip and tried to ride some of the casino rides, but couldn't because of the weather.

Thursday, July 2:
Today was Wet N Wild waterpark day! We rented a cabana and lay out all day... my kind of vacation. My aunt Margie met up with us mid day at the waterpark. After a long day we had to pick up my uncle from the airport. He was suppose to come in on Friday, but got an early flight. Driving up to the airport I thought I had spotted him, which is totally embarrassing because we weren't really there to pick him up. Little did I know it was my mom we were picking up! She had surprised me!! And I screamed when I realized she was the one we were picking up. It literally was the best surprise ever!


Gosh, don't mind my no makeup and nappy hair. We came straight from the waterpark to pick her up. After picking her up we decided to walk to the Strip and we checked out Coca-Cola world and New York New York. 

Friday, July 3:
Friday was an early morning where we went and did some off roading in Red Rock Canyon. We bused out to Red Rock and got into a pink Jeep and had a fun tour. Living in a city of mostly lights, it was fun to see the nature side of Las Vegas. 



Later that night we went to the Statosphere and went on the rides. The views were amazing of the Strip up top. On the way home we decided to drive the Strip to see more lights and crazies that come out at night.



Saturday, July 4:
Happy Independence Day! In the morning we went on a rafting trip down the Colorado river. It started at the Hoover Dam. Every time I see the Dam I fall in love with it more and more. It's a great part of history! 



During the rafting we found a small waterfall and so my mom and I had to take a picture of our matching shirts with the perfect backdrop.
Later that night we headed to the Strip again to ride The High Roller. We got on at the perfect time with the sun setting and the fireworks starting to come out for the Fourth celebration.



Sunday, July 5:
Today my mom left as well as my uncle and cousin (Morgan). I think our running around and non stop doing things caught up to us and we were all tired. The rest of us went to the south end of the Strip and toured the casinos. We went to the Mandalay Bay and checked out the shark reef and then took the tram to the Luxor   After sitting there for a bit we decide to got to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the women soccer championship game. We waited for a bit but then we were seated and watched the rest of the game. Of course USA won! 

Monday, July 6:
Last day before Elizabeth and Ryan left. We went to Fremont Street where we had delicious nachos for lunch and then went ziplining. 
We couldn't end the trip without a happy hour at the hotel. The staycation was way too fun and ended way too early! I was so happy my family could come out. I truly have the coolest family ever!!
