We had the opportunity to spend 32 hours in Vegas last weekend, so of course, there were lots of picture opportunities!Laura and I got there hours before everyone else, so we decided to take a walk on the strip and find some grub. We got to see the fountains at the Bellagio, an indoor rainstorm (which wasn't that cool) and there was even a star on the sidewalk honoring a lady who was a humanitarian/stripper. We held hands with Shaq:Hung out with Nicolas Cage:
Saw the Statue of Liberty whilst staying at the New York New York Hotel and Casino:But best of all, we added a new brother to our fam when our sister named Jen married Ryan:It was fun to see the whole family and even some of the Vegas Barlows that we never get to see:
Can you tell that we are siblings?Even Sammie had a blast with her first visit to Sin City and hanging out with her Johnny (our "adopted" brother):
All in all it was a great trip where we saw many interesting things, had people trying to hand us unclean things with phone numbers for more unclean things, and had a blast just being with each other. Then, as many may not know, I have been cursed with really bad weather coming back to Logan through the canyon the past 3 times I have gone out of town. This time it was bad enough to have chains required (which in Utah means it has to be BAD). Luckily, I have the trusty Jeep that never lets me down and always gets me home safe. Even when the road ahead of me looks like this (which I took a picture of whilst driving and I think that I am somewhere just past Mantua, but I am not sure):So basically, if there is a drought where you are, invite me there because we had rain in Vegas when I visited and blizzard in Utah when I got back. Forecast for this weekend when I am staying home? Clear skies and unseasonably warm temperatures. Unless the Jeep and I decided to go out of town...

Just stay away from Vegas next month. I'm planning to go, and I don't want rain. Thanks!
Wow Anne. Look at that snow. I'll have to share some of my photos with everyone. I have lots. Love the pictures and the posts. It was so fun to hang out with you in Vegas. Wish you could have stayed longer.
This is a great post, Anne! The pictures are wonderful and so are your comments!
I'm glad you made it home in that nasty weather. I can't say that I miss those snowy days. You can come down here anytime!
That snow looks horrible! I was going to mention how beautiful this weekend was.....but I didn't want to make you feel bad....
Hi! It's been so long! I love catching up with you on your blog. It seems like things are good for you. I hope to come to Logan soon. Let's hang out!
