Oldies but goodies

I know these pictures are like "SO" 4 years ago, but let's be honest, I love my new little blog & I am bored @ work & thought I'd share w/ my peeps! Our trip to Vegas was the farthest west I'd ever been (besides Evansville... :-)
Madame Tussauds wax museum! They had a hallway w/ wedding music playing & pics of famous people that had gotten married in Vegas. You walk into a room that looks like a chapel & there stands George Clooney! I was giddy! Normally I'm somewhat of a germ-a-phob, but I snatched that veil off the wall & slapped it on my head & ran right up there!
This place was SO up Brad's alley!

He could touch boobs & not get in trouble!

& butts! I love his face! There was a sign beside J-Lo (that's right, I'm hip!) that said if you touch her butt, her cheeks turn red. Yeah, hers & BRAD'S!

Hoover Dam...SO cool!

It was only like 113 degrees that day we were there. They were in a drought & that was gonna be a record!

Grand Canyon!

Bellagio Casino & Hotel. This was my favorite that we walked through (& we walked through a bunch of them) Those are fountains. You can see the water shaped into an arch. It was really neat. Of course, Brad was worried about trying to figure out how they worked w/out the water falling. He came up w/ air thingies in the water that shot it out.

Coca Cola store.


Bellagio fountains. Ok, there's a neat story behind this. Well, maybe I'm the only one who thinks it's neat...too bad for you! We all had a few things that we wanted to do FOR SURE while we were there. One of my things was these damn fountains. I wanted to watch them SO bad. They only go off in like hour increments or something like that. We were there for 1 week & we never could make it there @ the right time. We had too much other stuff to see & we were always going going going. Well, I put my foot down the final night & told the group that if we didn't watch those damn fountains, heads were gonna roll ( & I'm not kidding, I DID tell them that!) So, we made plans SPECIAL to watch them. We were hurrying to the hotel & I hear this beautiful italian music playing (it was some famous song, but I don't know the name) through a gazillion speakers & the fountains started & I started flipping out. So Carrie calmed me down & said, it's ok, we'll wait for the next time they go off. So we did, we sat & sat, but @ least we were front row, baby! Then, all of a sudden, the music started...it was FAITH HILL! Now, the reason this is mega exciting is because I LOVE FAITH HILL! So I jumped up & starting singing w/ Faith to "This Kiss" @ the top of my lungs & we watched those damn fountains & I kept screaming, "It was meant to be! It was meant to be!" I'm a dork, I know!

This is my all time fav pic of me & Brad. (Grand Canyon, duh!)
