Vegas, Day 2

Friday was the day we spent walking a million miles. Our hotel was right next to New York New York, so we started there, worked our way up the strip, and then took an Uber to Fremont Street. 

We went to the aquarium at Mandalay Bay, and I got to pet sting rays!!! Besides dolphins, those are my favorite aquatic animal. I love watching fish and sharks and jellyfish. 

We went to the Hershey’s store where I got a ginormous s’more that was DELICIOUS, the M&Ms store, Coke store, and Target (obviously!). Saw the Fountain of the Gods show at Caesar’s Palace, and had a few drinks along the way. Randy casually brought his Diet Dew into the Coke store. We found that hilarious 😆

At Fremont Street I saw people dressed up as a clown, Pennywise, and Michael Myers. I did NOT like that!! 😂 We got back to the hotel more exhausted than the night before! We walked over 11 miles that day. 🥵 

We had no idea that the NFL Draft was there over the weekend, so the streets were blocked off. It was cool standing in the middle and looking down the street. 

Vegas, Day 1!

What a fantastic vacation! I really am loved. 💗

We left our place Thursday morning about 3:15am. I had gotten 49 minutes of sleep that night because I was super anxious about flying. Gross. Our flight was at 5:20, so we relaxed a bit before take off. 

We had a three hour layover in Denver, which was kind of nice because it gave us time to wander around checking everything out. (Randy has layovers there all the time, but I’ve never been to the airport) Our flight to Vegas landed at 10:50am (12:50pm MN time). We picked up the rental car and headed right to Hoover Dam, killing time until we were able to check in to our hotel. It was very cool. 

Once we checked in, we rested a bit and headed to Las Vegas stadium to see the Las Vegas Aviators, Oakland’s Triple A team. My dad hasn’t even been to that stadium yet! 😁

Once we got back to the hotel, we crashed. Talk about exhausted!!! 

(btw, we’re adorable)

 

Cruisin Day 10!!

Sunday March 1

We finally got off the boat In Miami around 9am I think. Randy and I rented a car so we could tool around for a while before heading up to Ft Lauderdale  for our flight home. First up: MARLINS PARK. 

We were walking around the outside of the stadium (okay, Randy was walking. I was slightly walking super fast) We rounded a corner by some construction equipment, and there was a huge garage door open. It was right in center field, and there was a security guard sitting there. I asked if we could go in and look for a second, and he said no, we could only walk up to the door. We saw them replacing the turf. We started chatting, and when I told him that I’d been to 21 MLB stadiums so far, and my brother, dad, and nephew came down for a Twins game last year, he said, “Welllllll I guess you can come in and take a peek real quick.” 🙌🏼

IT WAS AWESOME.

Then we hit up Miami Beach, and drove to Dania Beach before heading to the airport. At least it wasn’t as long of a travel day as going to Florida. Layover in Chicago. The White Sox grill was closed, however.
