Last week we were supposed to spend a whole blissful week in Lake Powell... 90 degree weather.... warm water... Boating, beach and camping all week....We have been excited for months! However, Jake showed up at my place a little late and I just had that gut feeling that it wasn't going to happen. The boat apparently had some major issues and wasn't going to be fixed till Thursday. Needless to say, we were all kinda bummed. There was going to be like 10 of us going, so people already had the time off from work. So, we decided to go camping and hiking in Zions for a day... and then head off to Las Vegas, since Jake's sister had free hotel credit.
We were planning on going to Lake Mead, which is right outside of Vegas with the jetski we brought down... But, Mandalay Bay had a sweet pool/beach at the hotel... and we all didn't think it was even worth it to go out. The pool had a wave pool, so you could ride the waves as if you were at a real beach... plus the beach sand... and a lazy river....and 95 degree HOT sun :) It was a perfect week in the sun!!!
We also were able to go to a show, The Lion King. I loved it! My friend was able to give us half off tickets because she works for MGM, so we were able to get really good seats as well!
Such a great show!
The lighting was really bad, so it's kinda hard to see... but we went to the Shark Aquarium in the Mandalay Bay as well.. It was a pretty sweet exhibit.
Here are the rest of the pictures from our random trip :)
