Hey Baby Let's Go to Vegas!

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.

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!
