Las Vegas Spring 2014

I went to Las Vegas last weekend for a quick girls getaway. We stayed at MGM. Both nights we went to Beacher's Madhouse. I think the word "madhouse" described that place perfectly. 

Here we are waiting to get in to Beacher's the first night:

Here we are taking selfies outside the bathroom. We were probably trying to give our aching feet a break from our killer heels!

One of the girls in my group had some luck with the slot machines. She ended up winning about $100 which was exciting to watch. 

This is us on night two. I learned all about accessorizing from these girls. My plain Jane style just didn't cut it in Vegas. Luckily these girls shared their statement necklaces, purses, and earrings with me. 

This is us on our last night. We actually stayed out until about 5am even though we had to be at the airport at 6 and 7am. We stayed up all night and it was definitely a night to remember. 

I love having amazing, fun, spontaneous, smart, beautiful girl friends! 

Zion National Park

Last week I went to Zion National Park in Utah with JR and his brother for a week! Our campsite was very small but we had free wi-fi which was cool!

We did part of one hike, The Narrows, which was unlike any other hike I've ever done because it was up a river! We stopped along the hike to have our lunch and it was just awesome to look at the time and realize that my friends at work were probably eating their lunch in a boring and crowded hospital cafeteria while I was dining on a rock, with my feet in the water, looking at a waterfall, and surrounded by the canyon walls. 

We stopped in Vegas for one night on so that we wouldn't have to drive home all in one day. We splurged on a suite that had a washer and a dryer and full kitchen. It was such a shock to go from cooking over one tiny flame and having to use shower tokens to all the luxuries of a Las Vegas hotel suite! I would definitely do this again though because it made our drive home much more pleasant!

Now is the time to travel! I'm going to Las Vegas next week because it's so cheap.

The flight each way was only $19 on Allegiant Air. With tax and other fees our round trip flight came out to about $75.

We found a deal online to stay at Excalibur for about $55 a night which is extremely reasonable when split between three people.

Our amazing deals for our flight and hotel leave us lots of extra spending money to enjoy the shops! I can't wait.
