"Vegas is Disneyworld for adults"- Jobeth

 We started planning our end of April trip to Vegas clear back around Halloween... so the big trip was much anticipated!  This was our first big vacation with friends we've ever done so to say that we were excited was an understatement.  I could barely get through the day at work!!  Especially cause you really can't tell 5th graders that you're headed to Vegas.  They know what happens in Vegas ;)

Kyle's parents were nice enough to let us borrow the family van to drive up to the airport.

  Jess made sure to wear her brightest clothing so she wouldn't get lost ;)

  
On the plane and soooo excited to leave KC.

 In the loudest cab ride we've ever taken.  For real.  Our driver "Mo" had a pimped out/blacked out Suburban that took us to our resort.  Everyone's ears were ringing after our 10 minute cab ride cause of his LOUD speakers.  I'm not exaggerating either! And no... pimped out is not usually in my everyday vocabulary.  Even though I'm pretty gangsta ;)

 As soon as we got to the condo we quickly changed into some warmer clothes and hit the strip!  This was my first time to Vegas and I was in awe of all the lights/sights/sounds!

 Jess had told us the Bellagio fountains were so beautiful that it could make you cry and she didn't disappoint- they were easily one of my top 5 faves from the trip!

 Who knew that a pineapple vodka could cost you almost 10 bucks.  Dang..... totally worth it though :)
 A Statue of Liberty made entirely of Jelly Beans?!?  Almost pretty enough not to eat... almost... I'd start with her crown in case you were wondering.



 Couple's strip pictures.  That sounds dirty- I meant couples posing on the Vegas strip.  What did you think I meant?  Geez people- get your dirty minds out of the gutter ;)
