We woke up yesterday morning, and had to go to UPS to ship all my clothes to Alabama. By the time we got to UPS, did last minute errands, and grabbed breakfast we didn't get on the road until 10:30AM. We stopped off at a road side fruit stand in Gilroy, and bought fresh fruit for the ride. We drove all day, and as I looked at the map I realized the Grand Canyon is right next to Vegas. So we changed our plans of staying in Flagstaff, AZ to Las Vegas.
***Fun Fact*** Olivia said she has no interest in stopping at the Grand Canyon, and said I don't want to go to the DAM! I was like, "Ok, it is the Grand Canyon, not the Hoover Dam, and how do you not want to see it?" and she replied "Um, OK what is the difference between them anyway! What the hell is the Grand Canyon?"...A canyon.
Our cellphones died and the car charger broke, so we were without cell phones for most of the drive. By the time we made it to Vegas which was about 10 hours of driving, we were hungry, tired, and annoyed so we were at each others throats. We kept bickering towards the end, but once we got into our hotel and ate dinner we were fine.
After dinner, we walked the Las Vegas strip, and we caught the show in front of Treasure Island. Sonny (my dog, for those who do not know) kept crying really loud when we left him in the hotel room. So we took him with us, and walked the strip. We were able to exercise him, and see the sights. There were fireworks that go off throughout the Treasure Island show, so he would start barking but other than that he was fine.
All in all it was a solid stop. We are packing up the hotel right now, and heading the Grand Canyon. I took TONS of pictures of the ride, Vegas, and random stuff but OF COURSE Olivia's laptop can't read my memory card! So from now on we are using Olivia's camera or my cell phone from here on out. Pictures to come....
