~ VAY-K-SHEE-ONN~

1st off, I'm sorry it's taken me this long to tell you about my vaca. 2nd, I'm having lots of trouble with my laptop & I can't get the pics to load. But, I didn't want to wait anymore, so here's the rundown on our trip and hopefully I can add the pics soon.


Albuequrque, NM~ We stayed here the first night. No specific reason, it just made a good bre
aking point. Had dinner and went to the mall.

Las Vegas, NV~ We stayed at T.he M.on.te Ca.rl.o for 3 nights. Had a lot of fun, walked way too much, shopped a bit and played a few slots! My favorite thing there was the water show at the Bel.lag.io. It was AWESOME!!! Loved it!! Several times a night, they have a synchronized water-to-music show. I could stay and watch it all night. We didn't see any real shows though, I think that would be fun. Maybe next time!

Santa Monica Beach, CA~Just stayed one night here. Visited LA but was not impressed by either. The weather was cloudy and cold, and the water was ICE COLD - no swimming in the ocean. We did see a seal, that was the best part of being there. I'm fairly certain I saw the "I c.an't be.lie.ve. i.t's no.t b.ut.te.r" guy, not sure. Maybe he has a twin. Too bad I didn't see someone cooler!

San Francisco, CA~ Awesome!!! Would definitely go back! We stayed here for 2 nights, we should've stayed longer. Well, actually it was 20 minutes outside of San Fran, but none the less. We went to Palo Alto, where St.anf.ord College is. That was a cool little town, plus my sis used to live there(Palo Alto not S.tanf.ord.), so I got to see where she lived! We went to C.hin.a To.w.n - and I got 2 wicked cute purses. We also went to the Fi.she.rma.n's W.ar.f and drove across the G.old.en G.at.e Br.idg.e - way cool!! Saw more seals at the wharf, lots more. Saw Al.cat.raz from the bridge, bought my nephews "escaped from a.lca.tr.ez" shirts - too funny!!

Las Vegas, NV~ Came back for 2 more nights on the way home. Stayed at T.he E.xca.li.bur this time, definitely liked the M.ont.e Ca.rl.o much better, but it wasn't bad. 2 stays in Vegas and still didn't win any money--> bummer! And I have no idea where those "free or cheap" buffets are. The only ones we saw were wicked expensive. So, we ate a LOT of P.and.a E.xp.ress, which is weird cause J doesn't normally like chinese food. Hmm.

Albuequrque, NM~ Our last night of vaca - bittersweet!! Out to dinner and back to the hotel ;) ;)


That pretty much sums it up. We came back a few days early which gave us some time before we had to go back to work. We took the boat and spent 3 days out on the lake. The weather was great and the water was even warm enough to swim! We did some fishing and I caught a bass! It was a small one, so we threw it back. Well, J did, I didn't want to touch it. Too slimy & scaley - Ewww!!! I like to fish, but I don't like to touch them and I definitely don't eat fish. Ewww again.

All in all, we had an AWESOME time and I can't wait til' our next vacation!!!
