Valentine's Weekend in Vegas

Tim & I had a wonderful extended Valentine's Weekend in Vegas! We both really needed a getaway and this was perfect!

We met up with Stacy and her family. Stacy served alongside Tim in the Japan Sapporo mission. Stacy & Mark were super sweet to let us stay at their house the first night we arrived in Vegas. We had a great Italian dinner at Brio, a chic restaurant in the new trendy Town Square area, where we shopped, talked, and Tim & Stacy shared some pretty funny stories about their mission.

We woke up on Valentine's Day to a delicious breakfast- waffles and freshly squeezed orange juice! Thanks Stacy & Mark- you spoiled us! After breakfast we all headed out to check out the beautiful conservatory at the Bellagio. It was all decked out in a Chinese New Year theme.

We couldn't pass by the Bellagio without catching the water show.

After walking the strip a bit more, we said goodbye to Stacy, Mark, Bryanna & Maddox. We then headed to our timeshare to check-in and watch part of All-Star weekend before heading out for another fun night. Tim got tickets for us to see the Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian! We had front row balcony seats (excellent choice Tim!) the night of Valentine's Day. The show was so amazing! I highly recommend checking it out if you get the opportunity- you won't be disappointed! What a way to spend Valentine's Day, huh? It was so fun! Can't wait to see what Tim has up his sleeve next year!

We were a little tired the next morning- but who in Las Vegas isn't? We took a nice scenic drive to Hoover Dam. The picturesabove are of the new bridge that is currently under construction. Too steep for me!

We thought these support towers were a little funny. Kinda hard to feel confident about these things when they are leaning so much.

We were sad to say goodbye, but have the feeling we will be back before too much time passes. Thanks again Stacy & Mark for a wonderful weekend and for being such great hosts & tour guides!
