Hoover Dam & Belagio Hotel

The Belagio Hotel is one of THE Nicest hotels on the Strip. These beautiful desserts were $7.00 a piece and they had the moistest pound cake ever, for only $15.00, lol!

The tallest chocolate fountain I have Ever seen! And 3 different flavors too!

The Conservatory is filled with flowers and wonders of all kinds. It was a magical place, I sincerely felt like I was Alice in Wonderland or something. The flowers get changed out 4 times a year and are so beautiful! Spring HAS arrived!

In the middle of the garden is a little greenhouse filled with butterfies. Fancy tulips (above) and colorful poppies (below)

The Hoover Dam. Our friend Andy Cole came for a visit so this was one of the other places we went together. This is a view of Lake Mead before you get to the dam. A view from on top of the dam.
This is a view from the dam but looking across the other side. They are building an Enormous bridge, there are two archways you can see that will meet in the middle and then the bridge will come straight across the top

Weekend with Dad!

This weekend was a lot of fun because my dad came to town and I hadn't seen him in 2.5 years. Not only that but Zach and my dad have never meet before so it was a big deal for him to visit us here in Vegas. dad also brought his beloved girlfriend of 2 years, Linda. She and I already felt like we knew each other because we've talked plenty of timeson the phone and she was everything I thought she was, and more! She's wonderful and I love her! Although Linda barely reaches 5 feet tall and she's afraid of heights, she still finds fun and thrill in Roller Coasters so one goal of their time here was to ride the New York NY roller coaster located on the Strip. She came to Vegas 12 years ago and rode it then and she loved Every second (it felt like Minutes!) of it! Zach and I, on the other hand, were SCARED. I was SO scared that I couldn't open my eyes the whole time AND I was Screaming at the top of my lungs. It was scary and not my idea of fun, but I did it and it's over now. Just a memory-a scary one, ha ha!

One other adventure we went on was visiting Red Rock national park. It's a beautiful natural habitat for wildlife (although scarce) and plant life. We all had a lot of fun.

Me and Dad, together again :)
