Weekend Getaway

Last weekend we went to Las Vegas and Zions. We wanted to do something fun for Curt's birthday and also spend time with his family. So, we all packed up and went on a road trip.

Our first stop was Hoover Dam. It took us a lot longer than expected to get there due to traffic, so when we got there we just had to take a couple pictures and then go back to Vegas for our show. Even though we were only there for a short time, I was really glad we went. It was extremely windy, as you can probably tell from my crazy hair.


Next stop was our hotel. I know if I don't mention our amazing hotel, my father-in-law would never let me live it down :). He did a great job finding us a super nice place to stay and we all just wanted to stay there the rest of the trip. It was one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. It had 2 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, and 2 kitchens, etc. I didn't get to take any pictures, but hopefully we can stay there again next time we go to Vegas.

Then we got ready and headed out to go see Phantom of the Opera. Me, Curt, and Kailey had already seen it once, but we were more than willing to go see it again. It was really fun seeing it with Curt's parents who hadn't seen it before. The show was just as good as the first time. If you haven't seen it yet, put it on your to do list.


The next day we stopped in Zions and went on a really pretty hike to the emerald pools. I really enjoyed taking pictures there, everything was so beautiful. I took lots of pictures, but here are just a few.













We all had a lot of fun, and I was really glad Curt and I were able to go. We just wished the trip was longer and that Jake and Jen could have joined us.

Happy Birthday Curt!


Today is Curt's birthday and he is now 26! He is getting "old" but thankfully for me, he is getting better looking with age :). We ended up celebrating his birthday this past weekend, and I will be posting pictures soon. I love celebrating Curt's birthday! I look forward to it more than mine. It is the only time he let's me really spoil him. He is such an amazing husband and I am so glad I am the person he chose to spend forever with. I feel so lucky to be the one that gets to celebrate all of his future birthdays with him. Happy Birthday Lovey!
