Our main purpose for the trip was to go see The Lion King at Mandalay Bay. It was fantastic! The costumes and set were quite creative, and, of course, the story and music were very moving. It has been one broadway show I've always wanted to see. I'm grateful for a husband who not only enjoyed it with me, but also came up with the idea for the trip in the first place!
Before the show, we spent some time walking up and down the strip checking out the amazing architecture and water fountains. A definite favorite was the Bellagio. I already knew I'd love the fountains (I found them enchanting in the light and the dark), but I had no idea how much I'd love the garden room inside which they apparently redecorate every few months. The room is a haven from the cigarette smoke of the streets and the casinos. Immediately upon walking in, I felt rejuvenated and refreshed. The scents of the real, fresh red, white, and blue flowers on display filled the air, and it was so pleasant. My favorite display there was a framed "painting" made of flowers. We also enjoyed ice cream and a trip to the ABC store where we purchased some coconut-pinapple syrup. (It was delicious on our french toast at home.)
Our last stop on the trip was to join in with a ward that was meeting in a church we saw just off the freeway. We really enjoyed all the meetings there, and the members were so friendly.
Best of all, we got to spend time with each other. I love being with my Knightly!
