I didn't think we'd end up here...

Oops. I didn't know that an awesome weekend could end up with us in... well, the picture explains it all. I promise we're not guilty though. To prove it, I'll tell you everything we did this weekend. Then you can decide for yourself...

How did this happen?

Thursday -- This is when the fun really started. I had hurt my knee yet again, and was going crazy with not running for 7 days in a row. I did however have to clean the house in preparation for who was coming. That evening once Jason got home, we ran to the airport and picked up our dear friend Kyra. We were so happy to see her and excited that she would come experience the Vegas life like we know it. Maybe we went a little too far.

That night we got to catch up, and ended up making enough spaghetti to feed a small country :). Kyra went a little over board on the noodles, but the dinner was delicious! We really wanted to go for an ice cream run, so the three of us headed off on an adventure to Smith's and ended up getting some amazing double fudge brownie ice cream. I know your mouth just watered. Along with that we each got a girl scout cookie crunch bar and I'll admit, that was the most sugar I had had in a very long time. You have to splurge sometimes, so it was totally worth it!

When we got back to the house, Jason posted his shiny new ipod touch on craigslist (he won it at work. It's a beautiful white 4th generation, only $200 OBO in case you're interested lol), While Kyra and I watched Pawn Stars with our roommate Heidi. Once Jason went to bed, the girl party started with movies and talking. We had a pretty good time, and I'm glad we were able to get to know Heidi a little more.

Friday -- With Jason at work, it was a beautiful girls only kind of day :) I actually slept in! We made yummy raspberry waffles, and then started creating our epic road trip for the last twilight movie. It's funny, because although the movies really aren't our favorite, it is a tradition for us to always do something epic for them. The last movie wasn't so epic when we saw it a week later, so we wanted the last movie to go out with a bang. We planned an amazing week of a road trip and sites to see in Forks, WA. After two hours of planning, we finally decided to bag the whole idea and just go to the midnight showing. Ha ha I love that we did that.

After getting ready for the day, we hit up In-N-Out and had the best animal style burgers and fries. With sauce all over our hands and faces, we were satisfied because messy burgers are the best! With full bellies we drove to Freemont St. to have an adventure. There we walked around, checked out the Heart Attack Cafe (you have to be 350lbs to eat their free), watched a talented spray paint artist, and became part of a magic show. We actually had a really good time. Kyra ended up getting some pretty sweet souvenirs, and then we headed home to get Jason.

Walkin' with style on Freemont St.

Picking where to eat dinner was probably the hardest decision we had to make all evening.  While Jason did the research on where to eat, Kyra and I played the most intense game of speed of your life! The stakes were high with loser having to buy chocolate. We were screaming, crying from laughing to hard, and shaking from the anticipation. About an hour later the winner was decided, and so was dinner.

Have you ever eaten Thai? Well, it is amazing! We ended up going to this cute little restaurant called Prommares. It was so small with little cute tables, and a feel of eating at home. We were not disappointed when the food came out either. It was so so so good! Jason and I split our food too, and ended up having enough left over for another meal. Not to mention after eating we didn't feel weighed down. The food was really lite and healthy.

The Strip was our next stop for the night. We showed Kyra all of our favorite spots, and even discovered a few new ones, including a Godiva shop in little Italy located in the Venetian. Yum! We also saw THE BEST Bellagio fountain show of your life! It was so much better then the last time we went, and I was sad we didn't get a video of it. I loved it! Our plan was to watch a movie when we got back, but we lost track of time and at 1 am we finally made it home.

Found a waterfall in the Venetian!

Jason got a picture! We ran into a wax figure of him on the strip!

Saturday -- So... this was probably the best day we had this weekend. After breakfast (Jason made us yummy fruity pancakes. Even though they looked interesting and blue, they were so good) Kyra and I drove to Travoli Village and hit up the biggest farmer market in Vegas. That's not really saying much because it was actually really small, but we loved walking around and ended up having enough free samples to call it lunch. Kyra bought an awesome burse (book+purse check it out aburse.com) and I bought death salsa for Jason. He was in for a treat.

When we got back for Jason, we jumped in the car and headed downtown. There we saw the coolest Mob Museum, and made the crazy choice of entering. It was there they told us we had the right to an attorney. Anything we said would be held against us in a court of law. Then they and took our pictures. It was there that we learned about the history of Vegas, and extremely smart people who were into organized crime after prohibition. It was the most interesting thing ever, to learn that Vegas was run by mobsters and criminals. It also started out as a city of tents. The museum lasted us for 4 hours, and we were rushing out to catch our movie at the drive in. We completely lost track of time!

Before hitting the drive in, we grabbed some snacks and really thought we were in trouble when they searched our car. Come to find out, because what happened in Colorado, they were searching everyone's vehicle for firearms or anything that might be dangerous. We were surprised to see such a quick response to the event that happened Friday. We were also going to see The Dark Night Rises, so we were thankful that they were making sure to keep everyone safe.

I think I look more intense! Ha ha.

The death penalty!

I ended up being a true mobster by the time we left.

The movie was incredible, and the lightening and thunder during the show made it even better. I must say I was thankful for the rain, because watching a movie outside in Vegas is so HOT! We were all sweating and turned on the a/c in the car a few times. We seriously thought we were going to bake, until the rain began to fall :) We were nice and cool in our house by 1:00 am, and everything was good.

Sunday -- We sadly drove Kyra to the airport @ 4 am, and the rest of the day tried to catch on the sleep we had missed. After 2 naps and church, we walked downstairs to find our roommate and her family. They invited us to join them for dinner, and after visiting with them for a while we decided this was a really great weekend. We did get mug shots, but hey that was just plain fun! What kinds of things did you do this weekend? Do you think we're guilty?
