LAST MINUTE VEGAS TRIP

So last weekend, we found out my practically cousin was eloping in vegas so his brother nick convinced me and johnny to head to vegas with him literally it was like 10:00pm the night before so we packed up our stuff and headed out in the morning. i hadnt been to vegas since i was like 6 or 7 so i was excited to go, we got there and we set my GPS to guide us to our hotel and it said you have reached your destination and we looked around and could see our hotel so we sat and circled it like 4 times before we finally figured it out and how we missed it that many time i will never know. it was so hot which isnt fun when your 6 months prego, but we rode in some taxis and that was fun bu

t too expensive to we only did that twice, we watched some magicians on the strip and that was fun, johnny was way into that lol :) then we saw elvis walking toward us so i made johnny stand by him and get a picture , later we seen alittle bit better elvis but thats ok. we went to the Bellagio and watched water show with the big fountains and that was really cool i had only seen that on TV! we played a few penny slots and then johnny decided that he could turn $5 into $500 if he played 21 but that didnt happen he basically was out the first round lol. we couldnt do a whole lot because when you go last minute you dont really have alot of time, but we are wanting to back and see shows and stuff, when im not pregnant, i was so sore from walking all day it was horrible but worth it. before we left we ate at a harley davidson cafe and it was way cool johnny was in heaven, there was an Elvis signature Harley he spotted immediately. it wa

s definitely a short trip but still alot of fun and ive decided that it doesnt matter where you go, the vendors that are in mall that sell the lotions and creams from the dead sea or wherever... they are everywhere and you cant get away from them! you tell them no thanks and they grab your hand and make you test everything and its just frustrating to me, but my hands were really soft after vegas! lol :) i have some pictures that i will get on here asap!

Our Trip to Durango

This last week made a little trip to Durango to see family that we haven't seen in awhile and to introduce our newest addition to his grandparents, great grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. we were there for 5 days and we got to spend time with everybody which was alot of fun, johnny's dad played the guitar and sang for us and i was going to record it and my camera was dead but eventually i will get a recording of it, Merrick loved it! It was nice to visit and see everybody, johnnys brother lives in new mexico so we made a trip there to see him and the family. Merrick hated being in his car seat all of the time but overall i feel that it was a trip worth while. we will have to go there more often.
