Left: Emily and I stopped the the Belagio in Las Vegas, just for kicks. For those of you who don't know, that is one of the very large hotels, which happens to be the one in Ocean's Eleven. We were looking for free things to do to kill some time before the long haul through the desert and found out the the Belagio has gardens that you can tour for free. The gardens we saw were impressive, but really small, so we are not sure whether that was all (and that's why they're free) or if we missed the rest of the gardens. Either way, what we saw was awesome! This is a topiary train. The whole thing was so awesome and entertaining. I would definitely recommend it if you are driving through.

The great thing about this summer is that with no school, I have a lot of time to do some of those things that I always wanted to do, but never got to. The last few weeks have been full of them! One such event was a trip to CA to see two of my sisters and their families. My friend, and former roommate, Emily came along to keep me company on the drive (and I was so grateful for that because some parts of the drive felt so long!). We left after work on Thursday night, stayed in St. George, drove to Las Vegas and stopped for a break, then drove the rest of the way to Tara's house. Long, but worth it. We stayed with Tara for a day and then headed to Melanie's for about a day and a half before we headed home. It was so good to see their families and spend some good quality time.
