When you last saw us we had just eaten a big meal at a all you can eat mexican buffet right? Well I suppose that's where we will start off.
May 24th 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyle was ready to go, and in good spirits I see.
We were a little more apprehensive.
Okay, Okay, Ryan wasn't really upset, He just wanted to taze Nick.
Nick wasn't having it.
Okay, so we dropped Nick off at the airport had my terrible run in with the rental car place and then headed for the restaurant.
In the window at the buffet. Lolz.
Our food. It filled up more than one table. WTF
Then we were on our way.
RUBEN!!
Ryan was out of control.
I had made these really really awesome mix CD's that I was really excited to listen to on the drives from Arizona to Vegas to LA and back, well we got going on the highway and I put one in, yeah, they didn't work. I accidentally forgot to convert the MP3 files for them to work in a regular stereo. And remember how I said that Adrianna's car was older and a little less reliable, yeah she didn't have an antenna for her car so the radio didn't work either, lots of talking ensued.
We made a pit stop at the Hoover Dam. No, he's not peeing.
At night it's a little less impressive and I only go one pic of it but Mandee's came out pretty good, mine just kind of looks like dots of lights below me.
We hung out for about 20 minutes and then headed on our way again.
Vegas - By the time we got to Vegas it was already night time and I was in a pretty terrible mood but I still wanted to go to the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign, so we made a pit stop before we found our hotel and retired for the night. We ended up staying at a Motel 6 right off of the strip but we got a really good deal on it because it wasn't actually on the strip but technically it was. The next morning we got up and ate breakfast and wandered the strip, I was still in a horrible mood and everything seemed very disjointed and Mandee was in a bad mood because of her car, but she was in fact doing a very very good job coping with the problem and she still is. It was just a crappy situation that had basically just happened so it was kind of looming in the background casting an ominous shadow on the fun time we should have been having. On top of all that we all have different levels of sickness, I'm stuck with a lingering cold, Ryan was still full on sick when we left for the vacation and Mandee was starting to get over her cold and Kyle was just starting to get sick, well I suppose because of lack of sleep and crappy food and being in the cold ass river and stress we all started getting resick, Mandee worse of all, I think she has a sinus infection now. The fact that I woke up with a huge stye on my left eye wasn't making me any happier either, Which just adds to the crappiness.

It makes me pretty happy that St Louis is represented in Las Vegas even when we aren't there!!
Lol, yeah, it's what you're thinking.
Our hotel room.
My bed.
A bit closer. Lolz
Nighty Night.
We spent the day in Vegas walking around, seeing the sites. We walked up and down the strip basically all day and evening. We attempted to go and see as many of the casino shows as we could but hey there are a lot of them so we ended up seeing the Volcano at the Mirage, the Sirens of TI, the Bellagio Dancing Fountain, we went on The Roller Coaster at New York New York hotel, and went to Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. It was a pretty damn good run for only being there for one day. Being there made me miss living there, it's so crazy, everything about the city is HUGE and BRIGHT and as Mandee put it, excessive. Every single thing about Las Vegas is excessive, but it's hard to find a more exciting and beautiful place to be. After our excursion we went to a place that had $7 steak and shrimp dinners and $9 all you can eat prime rib, Adrianna and I got the steak and shrimp and when we finished we waited for another hour or so for Ryan to finish his 3rd prime rib, yeah, he's kind of crazy. Then we stayed the night again in our little crappy hotel room and got up the next day we got up, went to a store I like called Cash for Chaos, got rushed out, and left headed for LA.

Remember that stye that I mentioned...Here begins my not being able to wear makeup or contacts for the rest of the vacation. :(
You can kind of even see it in this pic.
I was driving the whole time but in Adrianna's car, I pulled down the visor because it was insanely sunny and this is what I found... A pic of Ryan from when he was about 15 or 16 tacked to the inside of the visor. Awww.
BOOBS!!! on the way to the Shark Reef.
Inside.
Buddha Man
FLASHBACK!! 3 years ago.
Giant puffer fish, okay so I know the pic doesn't look like he's very big but I promise he was bigger than my head.
Lion fish, I think they are one of the coolest of the common fish.
Somehow I pissed them off when I was taking pics and they all turned and puffed out at me.
Sting ray.
Me: "Hey Ryan, are you going to touch it?"
Ryan: "NO"
Me: "Why?"
Ryan: "If I was a sting ray, I wouldn't want people poking me."
Jelly fish, Ryan's favorite.
LOLZ FISH HAT!!
I wanted to buy it really bad, but I just couldn't justify paying $30 for it.
Potty break.
When you first walk into Shark Reef they make you take a picture and when you get to the end they super impose you into a Sharky backdrop then they proceed to try and get you to buy it. Well I cheated.
See what I mean about beautiful?
New York New York, and it's roller coaster.
T.I. or Treasure Island. While we were watching the show.
Obviously Kyle was unimpressed.
Holy $1 Strawberry Daiquiri tongue.
Walking.
For those of you that like that wind blown look...I got you covered.
Walgreens on Las Vegas Blvd. It's has multiple levels and escalators. WTF?
Mandee likes to give Kyle evil looks, I have quite a few documented. I promise though, she actually likes him.
Venetian. We didn't go on a gondola ride :(
Mirage Volcano erupting, from across the street.
Huge Sephora and Madam Tussaud's Wax museum that I didn't get to go to. :(
Harrah's
We stopped and all got gigantic strawberry margaritas, they were quite good but didn't really do their job. On me anyway.
Ryan stopped to go through his, as Mandee put it, "Lady Of The Night" trading cards.
The Flamingo
I guess he found one, and she's only $25!!
Oh Ryan, I love your hat!!
Still going.
Then we decided to make a stop by the place Ryan and I got married and go on the Big Shot at the Stratosphere so we all went back to the car and then headed for the other end of the strip. Once we got to the stratosphere they had all the rides shut down because it had been too windy through the day and most of the evening so we didn't get to rid on them but the place we got married was a little ways down the street so we hoofed it.
Random mini billboard on the sidewalk.
Do/Don't smoke shark cigarettes?
IDK.
OG's strip club, classiest in town I assure you. lol
Downtown Vegas sign, this means that you are officially entering the ghetto of Vegas.
Kyle and Mandee take a break and complain of the long walk in a carriage, I can only assume they wanted horses to appear to take them the rest of the way. lol.
Finally made it!!
The coolest part about this was that the actually guy that married us was there when we went and came out, Ryan was insanely excited to tell him that we were still married. He even took a pic with us.
FLASHBACK!!! 3 years ago.
Lol, they had "specials" posted outside.
Kyle, probably bitching about something, lol at the fact that he's carrying my purse, he is very helpful and carried it quite a bit through out the trip.
Then him and Adrianna decided to get married. So they had to pick out the special they wanted, Kyle said fuck it, lets go for the expensive one.
Aww the happy couple.
The only thing I regret about getting married the way we did is the fact that Mandee wasn't there, but I'm glad that she was with me this time.
Across the street.
Lmao. What?
One of the weirdest things I think I have ever stumbled upon.
Terrifying.
Starting to get tired now.
HAHAHAHA.
I am only posting this picture for the fact that every time I've showed it to someone they have yawned, I'm looking to cause an epidemic.
We stopped at this terrifyingly crusty taco place, we decided NOT to brave it.
Adrianna and Kyle decided that it didn't look to bad so they went in and ate while we played at an abandoned pool at a NOT abandoned, but close to it, hotel across the street.
We headed back to our hotel because we were pretty tired and done for the day but we were still hungry so we headed out again on foot to go to a 24 hour food court a little past MGM.
WTF?
Huge PSP for the win.
I didn't get any pics from the food court but I ended up not eating there either because all they had open was Del Taco which made me want to kill myself at that moment or subway and they didn't have $5 footlongs which usually wouldn't bother me but I couldn't justify spending $9 on a 6" sandwich.
On the way back.
Excalibur.
Hooker magazines, they have these little clusters of newspaper dispensers all over the place and ever single one is for escort services.
The view across the street from our hotel.
Our modest little Motel 6 sign.
Nighty Night.
