day 1: leave byu @ 6am & kendall almost missed it!! st. george- washington city center (snore), picnic lunch in the glorious sun (football sandwiches), st. george city hall, opera house and art museum (snore), temple (beautiful!), sloppy joes for dinz (surprisingly yummy), swimming at the washington center (watched gossip girl-holy blair and dan?! charlotte rhodes?! chuck and his scheme?! love!) then to the hotel in a lovely room with just us three...could not be more perfect!! boring day flip flopped with awesomeness thanks to ken dawg and melis!
okay fun fact/experience in my life:
...There we visited the psychiatric ward to talk to their recreational therapist and it hit me, i realized that i need to change my major. when the crazy man answered the question "do you enjoy your rec. activities and why?" i found my self tearing up. i want to be apart of what is the "only positive thing" in their life currently and to be able to get their "stress channeled into having fun and being creative rather then wanting to hurt myself or take another hit." its in the same major but it is completely different then what ive been planning. i had this overwhelming feeling that i need to be a therapist to delinquents, psychiatrics, troubled youth etc. for me personally, enhancing the lives of others through a simple hike, fun games, and other recreational actives is absolutely perfect! so, i need to change my major from leisure services to therapeutic recreation asap! ah crazy!
okay, back to our day! once we got to vegas we went to this recovery center (a step before prison) for people 18+ who either are criminals, crazies, etc. and here i got another confirmation that this is the kind of stuff i need to do. it was eye opening and something i have never ever seen before! then we settled into our 'hotel motel holiday inn' and off we went to hit the big city! the strip is sodom and gomorah's playground but if you turn away from all that ish...its the funnest place ever!! kendall, melissa and i romped vegas. with limited time we went everywhere! to caesars, to the fountain show, to paris, to pizza, to wondering around lost in casinos, to serendipity (where we created 'serendipity babies' -melis) to power walks down the strip, to being hit on by drunken men, to swatch (kendall got the cutest watch ever!) to being on tv, and back to the bus! many many pictures later, we sit here in our hotel and talk about wonderful happy things! love these girls so much! and oh how hilarious has this trip been! stoked for what boring thing made into fun things tomorrow!
thursday morning (so so) thursday night (THE BEST!) the vegas speedway was hilarious! julie julie julie ...was our tram driver/tour guide and she was this 65 year old granny with far to much eye liner who drove like she was a nascar racer! holy moly did she take us for a ride! mine and kendall's hair were perfectly parallel to the ground! then we went to the thomas and mack arena, which was boringgggg. cool to go on the floor but the dude running the show was a just anther monotoned cocky businessman. another place we went to was las vegas events. boy oh boy the owner of this company was too much to handle. old man, covered in gold jewrely that wouldnt shut up about his brad pitt lookalike of a son or how he makes $500,000.00 trowing parties for steven spielberg or celine dion. not to mention he books midgets to be thown on beds, nude piano players, monkeys to sat next to high rollers, he does "just about everything but prostitution." disgusting. then we escaped to melissa's house in boulder city for some home cooked nummies, showers, homework time and girl talk! it was heavenly to be in a home, in a kitchen and in a bed to myself!
waffles were served for breakfast and i may or may not have eaten two! back to the group for a few last stops! took some pictures with a lady from korea! then on the road we were, back to provo baby! the idea that we our in college on a field trip to sin city is something to 'lol' about! i can not believed i missed an entire week of school! but it was so so worth it cause i had the funnest time with kenny and melis and i figured out what i need to do with my life! yipe for fun little trips! have a great weekend everyone!
