Las Vegas!!!!

It seems like it was only a couple of weeks ago that I was blogging about our trip we had taken to Vegas with my brother & his wife. Well, lucky for us we made another trip at the end of May (for those of you who are counting, this was trip #11 to Vegas). Johnathan's cousin, Leah, was getting married up there & we weren't even about to miss it!!! Johnathan & I went out 2 days before everyone else so we could have some alone time. It was wonderful! Except for the part where we checked into our room, turned on the air conditioner which made the room smell like smoke. So.... after having unpacked all of our stuff we called down to the front desk & they had decided to move us to another room. We packed up all our stuff, got our new room key & made it to our room. I was a little bit nervous to unpack, but decided we couldn't live out of our suitcases! The next morning at 6:00 AM we were woken up by someone hammering. Seriously!!! Who starts construction at 6:00 AM!! So we call down to the front desk for a second time in 12 hrs. to let them know what was going on. They had no idea what was going on but went ahead & told us that they would move us to another new room. This time, however, it was a suite. It wasn't going to be ready until 3:00 pm so we decided to go downstairs & eat at their breakfast buffet (which was wonderful) then go ahead & lay out by the pool. It was perfect! On Saturday Johnathan's dad, sister, & her husband showed up. It was so much fun to get to hang with them for a little bit. Then on Sunday, Johnathan's Aunt & Uncle had rented a cabana at the Mandalay Bay & had everyone come over to swim. We had way too much fun!!! On Monday before the wedding, we met up with Johnathan's grandparents & some of his family from California at Gardunos (you remember that Cocunut Margarita that was the size of my face from the last trip?). It was fun getting to catch up with them! Here are a few pictures from our trip. Enjoy!
