Another Epic Weekend!

We have had quite the eventful weekend. Date night was a success, although we didn't do what I had planned. We also got a puppy, and saw some pretty amazing things. I must say I am very happy how things turned out :)

Friday our roommate's sister came to drop off an adorable surprise. Her family was going to Disneyland for the weekend and needed someone to take care of their baby. He is pretty much the most awkward looking puppy (because his legs are way too long for his body) you will ever see. He is super cute though, and it was love at first sight. After this weekend with the little one however, we are kinda re-thinking the whole puppy decision....

His name is Boo!

 
Friday after Jason got home, my date night plan totally failed. We were too late to get tickets to an outdoor play I wanted to see, but that didn't stop our creative minds. Ha ha, I guess if you could call what we did creative. We decided a nice dinner on the strip, with visiting attractions to follow would be fun. Can I just say... I love that parking in Vegas on the strip is FREE! It seriously surprised me that not just a couple of casinos have free parking, but they all do! We decided to park in a new place and ended up parking at the Vehetian! It was pretty sweet, and Jason even got his picture taken next to some epic limos (the coolest things ever according to the kid in his head). Our dream was to go on a gondola ride too, but it was too pricey for our liking. To make our hungry bellies content, we then walked to The Outback Steakhouse yum!

The Venetian Limos

Yup

 The restaurant we ate at was kinda interesting. We weren't too content about our seats either, because we weren't able to sit by each other. Do you and your significant other like to sit across from each other? I guess that it makes us weird, but we HATE sitting across from each other! We made the best of it though, ordered some delicious food, and my favorite quote for the night as I was teaching Jason the real way to eat shrimp.... "You just ate shrimp butt!" (i think it is one of those things were you just had to be there). He's kind of an amateur at eating shrimp I decided :)

The mask is HUGE!

After dinner we tried walking off all those calories and headed toward the Bellagio. On the way there we walked through a street fair and saw some pretty amazing stuff. Especially this guy who was using spray paint to create these insanely good pictures. He didn't even use a paint brush or anything! it was really incredible. We even talked to him after he did a couple of paintings and he was a pretty cool dude. 

Walkin' to the Bellagio...

Have you ever heard that going on the strip at night is a bad idea? Well I have heard that too, and honestly is made me a little scepticle... I now know why... It's not bad because of all the drunk people (cuz sometimes they're just plain funny) or the crazy ones, but it's the junk that people hand out and end up all over the street. For your future reference when going to the strip at night... NEVER look down :)

The Bellagio was the highlight of our evening. We didn't expect a fountain to be that big! It's like a giant pound in the front of this casino, and it shoots up so high, when it comes down it literally sounds like thunder. The lights were awesome, and it was pretty neat that everything was choreographed to music. Not to mention, it is right next to the Effle Tower and everything is beautiful! It was amazing!

Our Saturday started off very early with a 9 mile run, and basketball for Jason. Surprisingly it felt so good to get up at 5 am on Saturday! I hate sleeping the day away so getting up that early was perfect! Not to mention, with our work outs done we had the rest of the day to play! Although we did take a little nap afterwards :P lol.

If anyone ever tells you that locals are allowed in the casino pools... don't believe them. Really all you have to do is act like you know exactly what your doing, and they'll let you in. In fact, Jason and I have been going to the South Point Casino to do our swimming, and always got in no questions asked. This time however, we struck out and the security guy didn't let us in. When it's 108 degrees outside, water is a MUST! So... we went casino hopping in search of a way to cool off and got into the Silverton. The water felt amazing, and we even got in a tan! look out world, by the time I am done here this summer... I'll be a Mexican!! YES!

The Silverton was short lived, because they were getting ready for a live concert by the band Bushman (no idea who that is). On our way home we decided that our Vegas bucket list consists of a concert, so even though we didn't go to that one, we will make it some day. In fact, on the 4th 3 Doors Down is throwing a free concert on Freemont St. we're totally there it's INSANE!

The rest of our night we took it easy with a nice hot shower, a delicious homemade dinner, and a movie in the park. Soul Surfer was playing in Henderson with free popcorn, so we zoomed over there and ended up missing the first 30 min of the show. I must say though, that it was  pretty good movie, and it made me feel so happy that it was free :)

Sunday was absolutely wonderful and amazing! We attend probably the coolest most friendly ward in the state of Nevada! We were invited to like 20 million different things, we got to sit next to investigators and get to know them more, and pretty much our week is filled with awesome people and events. Jason is the most popular dude because of his basketball skills too :) ha ha. The highlight of Sunday though, was probably our awesome hangout on google plus with the fam. It took us about an hour to get google plus working and we only talked for about 15 minutes, but it was super awesome! I get to see everyone (except for Tain my brother) on Thursday cuz I'll be flyin to Tri Town! Ha ha I can't wait!

We had a lot of fun!

I'm off to make more memories, so have a wonderful day!
