Spring Break in Las Vegas

Hunter's favorite thing to do on vacation-SWIM!


We stayed right on the Strip. This is the view from the roof of our hotel.

Bry and I in front of the Bellagio. We went to "O" with my parents. It was incredible!

Duke game

We had such a great time on our trip! Bry and I flew in to Durham Wednesday afternoon. After several long hours on the airplanes (especially for the pregnant lady) we cruised to the hotel in our rental car, a red Mustang, and took a nap. That night we had dinner at a TGI Friday's near campus. After dinner, we drove a few blocks, parked and walked to Cameron Indoor Stadium. It was very cold! We were following the crowds, since we didn't really know where we were going, when suddenly we found ourselves in front of the arena. I never would have guessed in a million years that a basketball gym could be found in that building. It is very small inside and only holds 9300 fans. However, I feel like I can guarantee that the opposing team feels as though it holds 3x as many Cameron Crazies as that. The students are a riot! The game ended up being pretty close but my Blue Devils came away with the victory in the end, 71-58.

The next morning, before heading to the airport, we drove around the Duke campus a little and discovered Krzyzewskiville. (That's what the last picture of the tents is of in the next post.) I did some research and found out what it is all about and I have posted more info for those interested. After we took some more pictures of the campus we drove back to the airport. It was a short trip, but one I will never forget.




Cameron Indoor Stadium - It looks like a castle!

St. George Parade of Homes

The Parade of Homes in St. George is something I look forward to every year. This past weekend we headed down south with my parents to warmer temps and non-smogy air for our annual Parade vacation. Bry and I have tons of fun walking through the houses because the style in St. George is really different from the style everywhere else in Utah. A couple of the homes this year were super contemporary. The entire backside of one home was solid glass looking out to some beautiful views. While I do find the contemporary style entertaining, I am always thinking how impossible it would be to raise children in a home like that. (Grubby little fingers on all of that glass!) My two favorite houses were #26 Chateau Enchante and #11 Le Chateau de L'Amour. The weekend went by way too fast, but we had a really good time.

The last two pictures are in front of an infinity edge pool or endless pool. I want one in my backyard!
