Road Trip! Part 1

At the end of June (starting our six weeks of constant travel), Audrey and I did our first road trip of the summer with Nana, Papa, and Tia. In one week, we went from Las Vegas, Nevada to St. George, Utah to Chinle, Arizona to Albuquerque, New Mexico. 1,073 miles round trip!

First stop: LAS VEGAS, NEVADA!
On our way there, we stopped at the new Hoover Dam By Pass Bridge...it's high! Yowzers!
Then we made our way to Vegas where we stayed at the Stratosphere.

Great view! :) You can't see it in this view, but we could see part of the strip and if you looked up you could watch part of the tower jumpers go off.
Keri use to live in Vegas and while she was there we all discovered that Vegas is the best place to SHOP!





Papa and Nana showing Audrey the fish at Caesar's Palace
We also got free passes up the tower for a great view (it took some convincing on dad and keri's part because I was so nervous of the hieght.) but it was worth it!





There was also sightseeing at the Bellagio

(my favorite part of vegas!) to see the waters and the flower room



Audrey was not quite sure of the dancing waters at first but eventually relaxed and started dancing.
We played hard and were very tired but ready to move on to our next stop...St. George, UT (Part 2)
Audrey couldn't leave papa alone!
Side note: Audrey fell in love with papa on this trip and she even learned the word Papa. She couldn't sleep while we were there and so my WONDERFUL mother was able to convince her to relax and my parents were sweet enough to let her sleep in bed with them. So in the mornings, Audrey thought it was the most wonderful thing that she could wake up next to Papa!
