Christmas + 2 Weeks in Vegas - Loving It

2010 was an Earl Family Christmas - so I got to go to Las Vegas not only for Christmas, but for the weeks before and after - fabulous. Ryan only got to be there for 10 days, but that was still a pretty good amount of time.

We had a lot of fun and did a lot of stuff while we were there - although we did learn that a lot of things are closed the week in between Christmas and New Years, which was disappointing. But some of our favorite things we did while we were there were:

Celebrate Christmas - of course

Spent lots of time with Bella (our sister's awesome dog that we woudl gladly have if we could) - walks, hikes, throwing balls

Valley of Fire


Red Rock Canyon (We had intended to join my sister Mindy and her family for a hike but ended up taking the wrong fork and went on a 6 mile hike instead. No worries, we like hiking.)


Spent a little time on the Strip

Checked out the new dam bridge


And spend some quality time with family and friends!
