Spring Break '09: Las Vegas, NV

I've always had a thing for big cities-- don't know why, but I do. I love being in places with tall buildings and bright lights at night and humongous buildings that scrape the sky..(eh?). Las Vegas, Nevada. A.K.A. "Sin City". A place where gamblers go to waste all their money. Unfortunately, I'm not 21 yet. (Boo-hoo) Haahh, just kidding. Going to Las Vegas was so much fun. From the wax museam where the wax figures of Johnny Depp, Elton John, Hugh Hefner, etc. stood stiffly (which was probably MY highlight of the trip) to the "fake" Eiffel tower which i was soooo excited to see because I am "oh-so" obsessed with France. It was all so interesting! The drive there was long, but we got through it (mostly because i slept the whole way while Mom and Dad fought through the night to get there [ha]). Circus Circus was where we stayed. Pretty fancy.. I went on my first "upsidedown" roller coaster the day after we got there! (Yay me!) Plus, it was one of the fastest roller coasters in the U.S. I believe. The adrenaline rush when that thing went from zero to sixty in 3 seconds made my stomach fall out. I think I left it on the seat (hehe). It was INSANE. The adventuredome was also fun. I went on the roller coaster there two times. That also went upside down. Afterwards when i got off, i had a really big headache because you hit your head so many times while being shoved from left to right in the seat. The good thing was that i got over my fear of fast, scary roller coasters. woo! Overall, I think i'll always remember Spring Break of 2009. It was soo fun and i'm so grateful that we had the chance to get out of Idaho this year. :)
