V is for Vacations!

I love going on vacation. It's as simple as that. I love being away, seeing new things, and having fun doing it. I love hotels and airports and travel. I love getting away from the ordinary and finding new places to eat and play. Vacations are something I remember doing a lot as a child; we didn't always go to far away places, but we always went somewhere in the summer. Often to a zoo or amusement park; sometimes to Florida, Oklahoma or Washington. Wherever we went, we had a good time. I'm glad that Tim enjoys the same tradition.

Just a couple weeks ago, Tim and I went to Las Vegas for a few days. I had been last year for a conference (briefly) and once a long time ago when I was a child. Tim goes semi-regularly for a conference, but we had never been together. So, we took a very early vacation and went to Vegas!

Before hanging out in the city, though, we spent a couple days touring the west - hitting up Hoover Dam, attempting (and failing) to get to the Grand Canyon's closest edge to Vegas, and going to Zion National Park in Southern Utah.
Tim and I at the end of our day in Zion. I really need to get in shape!

The Tropicana. Our home away from home on vacation!

Overall, this vacation had all the things I love: adventure, fun, laughter, lots of sleep, time with the man I love, good food, and sunshine.
