Spring Break 2013

~Spring Break 2013~

 

 

 

Where to start?? I guess the beginning is a good place.

My sisters have been going to Palm Springs for spring break for a while now. When Adam was paving spring vacations just wernt an option for us. So I would sit home freezing every year, while my sisters were enjoying the warm, sunny, beautiful California weather. That is until last year. Adam had gotten the job at Newmont, and was starting right after spring break so we decided to join them for a couple days. We were hooked!! I started looking for a condo I think in December. (It was a LONG COLD winter here!!)

After a really long wait our vacation finally came!!

Adam has always wanted to see the Hoover Dam, so we drove to Vegas and stayed a couple nights there. There is alot of things advertised for families to do in Vegas, so we figured we would check some of it out. Saturday evening was a lot of fun. We ate at Rain Forest Cafe, and watched the fountains at the Bellagio...twice. We were all having a really good time, walking around, seeing all the fancy cars and just enjoying the big city. Sunday we went to the Hoover Dam. I have to say I wasn't really excited to go, but it was something Adam really wanted to see. It was AWESOME!! We didn't do a tour or anything, I think that would have been boring, we just walked around and looked at it. I'm so glad we did. It was pretty dang amazing walking across it, and looking down was crazy scary! Kyler kept pushing himself up to look over the concrete walls and even made Adam nervous! After we were done we decided to go back down to the strip to Circus Circus....We should have just gone back to the hotel! That side of the strip is just nasty! Porn everywhere, and just plain dirty! We walked back to the tram as fast as we could, and got out of there! Ethan was not impressed with Vegas AT ALL...but they did all really love the roller coaster at NYNY :) And that evening we found a Fox outlet store....We all loved it, I'm glad its the only one or I would be in trouble!! 

Bright and early Monday morning I got a wake up call from Rene. She is lucky I was already awake!! We loaded up the car, and kids and headed for La Quinta. The heavenly part of our trip begins!!

We got there a little before we could actually check into our house so we went to Renes and changed into swimsuits and headed to the pool. And really that is where we were everyday, all day. Except for Thursday when we went to the water park. It was the best vacation! We relaxed, we swam, lazed by the pool, and just enjoyed being with our family! I have the 2 best sisters I could have ever asked for, our husbands are friends, our kids all love each other and get along great, our nieces and nephews are fun, happy, good kids that we just really love being around. Friday was our last day, so we all went to Michelles house. They had their own private pool, We got a few more hours of family, fun, and sun before we had to hit the road. It was sad to have to leave, especially since everyone else was staying until Sunday, but we had a long drive ahead of us and Adam had to get back to work. All in all this trip was one of the best we have ever had!!
