Best part of summer is being able to go on fun little getaways and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Work was BEYOND stressful and a few days away from the office was heaven.
Zach, Stacy, Shanda, Tyler and me all loaded up after work on a Thursday and were Vegas bound until Monday.
We had a little bit of a late start thanks to our prompt gentlemen
AND
then us girls had the car loaded before they got to my place and we have had it unbalanced which caused for a stop in Lehi to reload the car.
It was a long, cozy drive with five of us in my car. (sorry Zach, Stacy and Shanda)
But the drive was field with lots of singing, watching the latest date of Mormon Bachelor and lots of laughs!
Once we arrived around 1:30am we were beat! We loaded our stuff in and tried to go to bed. TRIED being the key word. Us ladies snuggled up and got a case of the major giggles. (Sorry, boys!)
And apparently the boys could here EVERY word even when we were whispering.
The next morning we hit the pool and relaxed our little hearts out in the Lazy River.
We also were able to go to Lake Mead with Tyler and Zach's cousins.
Although it was 112 degrees while we were boating with a water temperature of 85 degrees we still had a great time.
Plus, being pulled over for a safety check by a boat full of Coast Guard gentlemen didn't hurt the experience at the lake. If only Zach would have stopped talking to them...
After the lake, we were all starving so we hit the showers and went to Sushi Samba on the strip.
Thank goodness that Vegas never sleeps because it was almost 11:00pm by time we got to dinner.
After dinner, Tyler and Zach's cousin Jordan and his pal, Lawrence came and met up with us and we headed for some karaoke.
Never a dull moment with the Wall boys!
We were all reminded that we are old and our bodies do not quite recover from lack of sleep like they use to after staying out until 4:30am.
We hit the pool and relaxed until it was time for Serendipity and Phantom of the Opera.
It was a fantastic night and I'm so glad we finally made it to Phantom.
When we came back from the play Jordan and Lawerance were hanging with Zach.
So that led to a late night of chatting.
Or so I was told... I was out cold on the floor.
Before we went to bed, we thought the boys really needed a wake-up call at 4:30am.
The phone just kept ringing and ringing, but eventually it did the trick!
Sunday included some more pool time.
When you're on vacation you skip the Sabbath, right?
That's what we thought.
We also enjoyed some tasty dinner with Tyler & Zach's family.
Us ladies came back to the hotel a little early so we could cheer on Jef in the Bachelorette!
And then we were Utah Bound the next morning.
Let me introduce you to the World's Best Co-Pilot, Tyler John
Remember that wake up call we gave the boys?
Tyler tried to get us back by setting an alarm at 4:45... you can see he set it for PM not AM so it didn't work.
But when I was setting my alarm for Tuesday to go to work I noticed an extra little surprise for me.
Nice try, PC! Nice Try!
So glad I was able to escape to Vegas with four of my favorite people.
Perfect Vaca!
