finally the end of the trip....

when last we meet....we talked about san fran. So here's the rest of the story....

We headed for Kings Canyon/Sequoia National Park. Again--God must of had such fun with those GINORMOUS trees!!!









We got to drive thru the auto log. It is a giant sequoia tree that has fallen over and you can drive a mini van thru it! There are no words to describe how big these trees are!

We headed off for our final 2 days in Vegas. We were tired of being in the car, tired of walking, and it was freakin' hot!!! We saw a magic show! They were filming it and Brian, Lisa and I got to be a part of the show! We started to walk around Vegas but it was so hot and we were so tired that we jsut went back to hang out poolside at the hotel. Vegas is called sin city for a reason! We had to ahve all the boys walk with their hands in their pockets so they wouldn't be handed stripper cards and there were stipper cards all over the ground, so thye had to walk looking up! :) Everywhere you went you had to go thru a smoke filled casino. The lights, the smells, the sounds....it is sensory overload!

We ended our trip at the Bellagio hotel/casino (made infamous from Ocean's 11) they have a fountain show that runs every 15 min. The fountains move to the time of music. The song that we were there for was Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American". It was a PERFECT ending! Here we had seen some of the best that America has to offer and we were so proud to be American's. My friend Lisa and I sang loudly and with pride!



We were happy to fly home! We all had such an amazing time! The vacation was perfect!
