Vacation Part 1: Las Vegas

(Warning, post contains lots of photos!)

Last weekend, Bryant, Savannah and I went on vacation with my family to the Jimmy Buffet concert in Las Vegas, and then spent two days in Disneyland!

It was a fast-paced exciting and exhausting weekend, but it was so much fun!
There is a lot to write about and a LOT of photos, so i'll have to split this up over the next few days (or weeks!)

I'll start with our day in Las Vegas:

So last Friday night after everyone got off work, we headed down to my aunt and uncles home in North Las Vegas. Savannah did really well in the car and even brought her own snacks!


The next morning, we woke up around 8:00 and went for a swim in their pool (how awesome is it that it was warm enough to go swimming at 8 in the morning?!) My mom and I swam a few laps, while Sage had fun jumping in and trying to push people in.


We then headed down to the strip to the the pre-concert Margaritaville street party.


Savannah loved the party! She does really well around lots of people and noise, she even fell asleep when the band was playing! I had tons of people asking to take pictures of her and saying how awesome it was that I was brave enough to bring a baby to the street party. She was definitely a hit there!



I had a better picture of this where my hair wasn't messed up and Savy was smiling, but I LOVE her face in this one so much!

The love of my life, Bryant!


The worlds largest margarita (it was 8,500 gallons!)


We decided to take a break from the party and head out on the strip to grab some lunch, shop around (my mom was thinking of going all-out for the concert! hahah!) and we visited the Coke store and the M&M store. I've decided that navigating around Vegas with a stroller is ridiculous. But if you can do that, you can do anything!


Some of the employees and the M&M started a dance, and this old lady in the sun hat and bright dress was rockin!
 

We even gambled (just a little bit) this is how much I came out with after 4 dollars...

Then, we headed back to my aunt and uncle's home to pick up our tickets and drop off Savannah (my first time leaving her with anyone besides my parents! But when we came back, she was sound asleep and content. Success!) 

And then it was off to the concert!




(sorry for the quality of these next few photos. They don't allow any big cameras into the concert, so theses are all camera phone photos, plus, you know how concerts are with lighting...)




The concert was amazing! Jimmy Buffet is one of those guys who sounds just as good, if not better, live as he does on the radio or a CD. He played a lot of his old stuff, and there was only 1 or 2 songs that I didn't know that well. It was so much fun!
