Our weekend in St George/Vegas was as thrilling and adventurous as I had hoped it would be, Ry and I had a great time on a much needed mini getaway.
We took off for St George on Friday afternoon around 4:45 and arrived at our hotel, where we met up with Yuen and Brenda at 8:10 (3 hrs and 25 min. drive) Ry was haulin the whole way down, it was great to get there as early as we did because it gave us time to go and visit Jo, Jerry, Julie, Whitney and Parker and the condo they were staying at in St. George and we were also able to grab us a bite to eat at the "In and Out Burger" in Washington City, we feasted on big, juicy cheeseburgers and to-die-for french fries....YUM YUM YUM!!! We hit the rack early that night so we could get up early to watch Yuen cross the finish line after racing the much anticipated St. George Marathon. He ran 26 miles in 4 hours and 18 mins, AMAZING. You did an awesome job Yuen!!! It rained the whole race so Jo, her brood, Brandee, Trav and Debbie weren't able to come and watch Yuey cross the finish line....It was Brenda, Ry and myself cheering him on his last few miles. Then we met up with Jo's brood and Christy for some lunch at Texas Roadhouse, we had some great steaks and conversation.
Then Ry and I took off for Vegas(Brenda and Yuen headed for Mesquite for the night) where we met up with Trav, Brandee and Deb. We stayed at the Monte Carlo (super nice!) Then the 5 of us went to the Seafood Extravaganza at the Rio, it was $45 a head for seafood, needless to say I was the only one who didn't partake, I would never pay that for food that disgusts me!!! Then we gambled a bit at Mandalay Bay and at the Westin where Brandee and Trav stayed.
On Sunday Ry and I went to the outlets and shopped our socks off, we got killer deals and made tons of fun purchases. After shopping Ry and I spent some quality time down at the pool at the Monte Carlo, they had a wave pool and a lazy river...We had a blast!!!! That night we met up with Deb to check out the Palms and then headed over to the old strip (The Fremont Experience) to eat at Tony Roma's and to do some more gambling.....Something amazing happened that night too, I won 281.00 on a $1 slot machine!!! I have never won anything gambling, so I was pretty dang stoked. Monday Ry and I just drove home, I headed over that night to see my parentals (they finally returned from their Thailand excursion) then we fell into bed. What a fun and wild weekend.....Enjoy the pics!!!
