We’ve done a whole lot of actual traveling in the last few
weeks, and have been fortunate to make it to some really incredible places. After
Lightning in a Bottle we were able to meet up with one of Sam’s college friends
who was getting married in Las Vegas. We found the perfect RV park… nothing
special about the park itself, but it was about a block from Fremont Street. If
you haven’t been to downtown Las Vegas, check it out! It’s kind of like… old
school 80’s glam with cheap tables. They have these awesome free concerts with
people like “the drummer from Motley Crew.” It’s like the Who’s Who of Where
Are They Now! We were able to gamble for cheap on our side of town, and go live
it up wedding-style on the strip, which included a poolside cabana on the roof
of Planet Hollywood.
On our last night we had an awesome date night at the
Stratosphere, the tallest building in Vegas. Sam rode all of the crazy rides at
the top as much as he could before our dinner at Top of the World restaurant,
which slowly rotates for a full 360 view of Las Vegas during your meal. We
finished the night off watching Bite, a sexy rock-n-roll themed vampire show.
It was awesome! No Cirque du Soilel, mind you, but super fun just the same.
After going to LIB, I finally jumped on the Festie
bandwagon with Sam, so we decided to skip southern California entirely and head north to
where the festivals (and better weather) are. So our next stop heading north
was Yosemite National Park. We only had one day to spend there, which is not
nearly enough! It’s kind of like going to a nature version of Disney World, but
we found with a little climbing, you can get away from most of the crowds. We
saw some beautiful things, but our favorite time was bouldering up the side of
Lower Yosemite Falls. We ended up about halfway up the height of the falls, far
away from almost everyone, with stunning views of the rocks over the trees and
so close it felt like we could reach out and touch the falls. It was one of the
best days I’ve ever had with Sam. These photos do not do the experience
justice!
Up next: Lake Tahoe and the Bounce!
