Vegas/St. George

Zions Park

This past weekend Brian and I went with our friends Zac and Shane to Vegas and St. George. We headed down to Vegas on Thursday after Brian took the much anticipated/dreaded MCAT. It was a great time to go and relax after all of the stress building up to the big test.
We got to Vegas late on Thursday night so we really didn't do much. Friday we walked around Vegas and went to a couple shows. The first show we saw was Nathan Burton. He is a magician/comedian. During the show Brian was called up on stage to be a participant. When he got up on stage he had to put a mask on so I didn't get to see his reaction of being up there. I would have died. The act he did was hilarious.
Later that night we went to see Carrot Top. I was a little nervous going into it because I was afraid that it would be really crude and I wouldn't like it. I was definitely wrong; yes it was a little crude, but it was hilarious. I was laughing the whole time. I would definitely go back.
After Carrot Top we headed to St. George. On Saturday morning our plan was to hike the Narrows in Zions Park. However it was cloudy so I chickened out. Instead of the Narrows we hiked Angel's Landing which is a million times worse than the Narrows. The Narrows you have to walk through a river which I am totally fine with water. Angel's landing, on the other hand, is the top of a mountain. It's a 2 1/2 mile trail and I made it up about 2 miles. It was way to scary for me and I started crying. Yet again I chickened out. So Brian, Zac, and Shane finished the hike while I waited at the top of a different plateau. It was absolutely beautiful!!! I love Zions Park.
We had a great trip!! Thanks to my sister and the two grandma's Bentley was well taken care of while we were gone.

*As I posted before, I'm not one for taking a bunch of pictures. The pics. are compliments of Zac. I must note Zac has a special talent of getting pictures of me at my best moments.

This was where we hiked. Yikes!! This is a little past the point I stopped.

The boys at the very top of Angel's Landing

This picture doesn't do the trail justice. This is me heading back down to flatter land.

Sounds fun! I'm with you though, I'd be heading down to flatter ground as well! Heck, I probably wouldn't have dared try it in the first place.
