The Honeymoon: Vegas, and California fun in the sun!!!

Since we have started this blog thing, we thought we should probably give everyone a recap of the best week of our lives. As you all know it all started with the big day where we sealed the deal!!! (Finally) After we got the festivities out of the way and got settled down a little bit, in our new home, we set off for our awesome honeymoon!
The first stop of our little road trip was Las Vegas. After a long drive from home we were so excited to check into our hotel! We stayed at The Signature at the MGM Grand. It was an amazing hotel. It was so spacious and comfortable. Our Suite was more than we had expected. We wish we would have taken some pictures of the room but we didn't think about it. Oh well :) After we got settled in we hit the strip to check out Vegas. We ended up walking down the whole strip and got to the Bellagio. While we were there we watched a few of the fountain shows, which were awesome! Our most memorable part of the trip was on day two when we decided to go ride the roller coaster at the New York, New York hotel. It was the best roller coaster we had ever been on. On our way back to the room Rach decided to try her hand at the slots. After a few quarters and no reward we decided to hit the sack. (luckly neither of us has picked up a gambling habit.) We headed back to our room for the night and we were talking about how we were done with Vegas and ready for the California portion of our trip.

California was awesome. There is something to be said about a climate that is perfectly perfect in everyway. I could live in California. We started off at Disneyland where all of Rachael's childhood dreams came true! It was really fun! We were able to ride all the rides and.....Rach even met Minnie Mouse! :) We spent a couple days at Disneyland and California Adventure! We spent a full day at each park. Our favorite ride of the whole trip was the Tower of Terror at California Adventure! It was so fun we couldn't get enough of it! We also got to soak up the awesome California sun at the beach! The beach day started out a little cloudy but it cleared up nicely and became a beautiful day. That day we also went whale watching out on the ocean. We didn't see any whales but we saw a ton of dolphin and it was amazing to see them in their natural habitat. (one of the trip highlights) We had an amazing time but when it came down to it we were ready to come home! We missed our families and wanted to get officially settled into our new lives together!
