Vegas!

Last month we went to Las Vegas spur of the moment for the long weekend.  No, really. . . like. . . as in Thursday morning we thought to ourselves, "wouldn't it be nice if we could spend this weekend in Las Vegas?" and then that afternoon we were packing up and leaving that night to drive to Salt Lake.  The Friday morning, we got up from Salt Lake and headed for the warmer climate.  It was very nice to escape the frozen tundra that is Rexburg and even writing this blog is making me wish we could have gone down this last 3 day weekend too!

Friday night we spent time at Vern and Lynda's (Uncle and Aunt) in Logandale, (45 minutes Northeast of Las Vegas) and just relaxed from the car ride.  Saturday we got up and drove over to Las Vegas and spent the day at Delray and Debi's (Uncle and Aunt)  and just having fun.  Cindy finally had the experience of going to In-N-Out Burger for the first time in her life.  That night we went down to the strip and hung out with the cousins, then spent the night at Dale and Jill (Cousin).  We got up and went to church with Dale and Jill as well as Grandma and Grandpa Olsen.  After spending the afternoon in town, we drove back to Lynda's for our last night, and woke up early to visit Daniel's (Cousin) grave before leaving Logandale.  We stopped for a couple hours that night in SLC to have dinner with both our parents at Cindy's parents house, then hit the road again all the way up to Rexburg.

It is so great that you were able to escape the cold and enjoy warmer weather together! I loved being able to just pick up and go at a moment's notice when Kevan and I were first married to. How fun that you got to catch up with so much family. Too bad we didn't see you. Maybe next time you'll want to do a road trip to Stansbury Park? Ha Ha! It's good to hear an update.

Some time in my life I will go to Vegas. I wish I could have seen Jill and Dale. To bad Jill's name is Jill and not Chip. Just kidding don't tell her I said that she will kill me.
