Arizona and Vegas trip


October 20, Greg and I flew to Phoenix to go to my friend Karen's wedding. Karen and I have been friends for about as long as I remember. I know we were in 1st grade together, and I think we may have even been in preschool together. She and her fiance Anthony got married in Sedona, AZ on 10/21/07. Greg and I met another childhood friend Shannon and her boyfriend Brad at the airport in Phoenix. Karen is the one in purple. We rented a white Chrysler Pacifica and made the 2 hour trek to Sedona. We stayed 2 nights in Sedona, and had a wonderful time at the wedding. Sedona was absolutely gorgeous.

Next stop was VEGAS! On the way, we went to the Grand Canyon. What an amazing site to see. It was freezing up there, so we didn't spend much time, but wow, it was incredible.

On our way to Vegas, we had to drive by the Hoover dam. It would've been exciting to see, but the traffic was backed up for hours and we were all less than impressed by the Hoover Dam. We sat in this spot with this view of the dam for a few hours.

We FINALLY got to Vegas Monday night, and checked into the Luxor.

It was a great hotel. We went to a Mexican restaurant in the hotel and did a little gambling. Shannon wasn't feeling well so she went to bed. Brad, Greg and I went out walking on the Strip and took some pictures.

Tuesday was sightseeing hotel. I think we went into every hotel in Vegas and it was so much fun. Tuesday night we went to Cirque de Soleil "KA" and talk about amazing. It was a great show. We then had dinner in the fancy schmancy steakhouse Craft Steaks in MGM Grand. Yum. We gambled some more and went to bed late. Wednesday morning, it was already time to go home. What a great, albeit too short trip!
