Me, my sis and a place called Vegas

I love vacations. There's nothing I enjoy more than to get out of my 10 miles of city and visit another dimension of life. I love the smell of hotel rooms; I love trying new places to eat and most of all, I love meeting new people, even if it's only for a moment. I wouldn't recommend staying at Caesar's Palace though. It seemed like it would be such a nice hotel, but the sheet was dirty and there was fresh blood on a towel in the restroom. The walk in and out of the hotel/casino was about 30 minutes. We actually spent more time walking in and out of the casino than we did on "The Strip"! On a positive note, I absolutely loved the interior design of the hotel room. It was beautiful and chic. White bedspread, with green and brown accents in the room and marble floors in the bathroom. There were two bathrooms; one with a big jetted tub (which we didn't use because we thought it might be contaminated with dirt lol) and very nice toiletries. So even with the downside of things, there were way more upsides, like hanging with my sister and going to Margaritaville. If you go to Vegas, you gotta check it out. It's a cute Jimmy Buffett restaurant and it has a great gift shop, even if you aren't a Parrothead, you'll appreciate it! The highlight of our trip was Snow Canyon. Wow, I love that park! It is always just as beautiful as the first time and numerous other times that I have been there. Word to St George though...Don't ruin this natural beauty by building houses all around this natural park! It really messes with it and you can never undo the damage that urban sprawl causes! Well, that's about it...the wheels in my head are already spinning on where to go on my next getaway!

I'm glad you got to go on a trip. I know when you get those restless legs of yours nothing else helps!

What a great write-up sis! That was such a fun trip, like you said, as many times as we have been to Vegas and Snow Canyon, it is still such a wonderful place! Just getting away from the hubbub of normal city life. Snow Canyon was absolutely beautiful!!! I wish we could do more stuff together! There are so many places up here I wish we could go to!! Love you :)
