Surprise weekend!

So a couple of months back Tyler planned a surprise trip for me and he kept it a secret the whole time. I had absolutely no clue! Which I hate. I am not good with surprises. I hate not knowing what is going on and not knowing what I needed to pack. So Tyler told me to pack whatever and one nice outfit like a dress or skirt so that got me thinking. I have been trying to figure out what was going on forever. Every time I asked him he would change the story. It was so annoying!!!

So on Friday morning we woke up and hit the road at seven in the morning. It was hard to go to sleep because I was trying to figure out where we were going. We watched the sunrise and passed a lake not sure what it was called. Still lost at this point.


Then we continued on and passed some nut orchards. I had been on this rode before traveling to AZ so I knew we were headed southeast. He was not letting me look at the GPS, the brat.



Then we stopped in Bakersfield and had some lunch with one of Tyler's coworkers and he wife and daughter. They took us to this cute little place with amazing food then we hit the road again. I still haven't figured it out where we are going and Tyler still wont tell me!!


Then we hit the ugly desert and the beautiful windmills!


Then we went through some town that had the worlds biggest thermometer. I think it was in Barstow.

Then we turned on some road and I guess that we were going to. . .

We went to Vegas! I have never been and Tyler loves it! We made it there around four or five and then we went to the MGM where we stayed and checked in and tried to find our room. It was kind of tricky and I have to admit I was getting a little testy by this point. We finally found our room and then I laid down for a few minutes and then Tyler told me that we had dinner reservations at 8 so I needed to get ready. I was ready by seven and getting irritated because Tyler was stalling. Then he told me that I had a delivery coming at 7:30. I was threatening him that no one better sing or dance to me. lol! Then someone knocked on the door and I answered it and what do you know Jessica and Ben were there. I was so surprised! I would have never guessed that. Way to go Tyler and Jess for keeping that secret for so long. Jessica was even texting me and saying that she was in Prescott, the little brat. It was so fun to have them there. We then went to dinner and did some walking around and watched the water show at the Bellagio(sp).





Vegas is very pretty at night. Except for the people passing out the dirty pictures. It didn't matter that we were with Ben and Tyler they still tried to give them some. So weird!



That night they informed me that we were going to go see the Phantom of the Opera on Saturday night. I was so excited!! So on Saturday we woke up hit a buffet and went walking. We went to M&M world which was cool and we saw a lot of stuff!




Then we headed to a shopping area and wondered around and saw some cool things made out of plants and a hung china guy!




Then we headed back to get ready for the Phantom!! We at the Cheesecake Factory first then headed for the theater. Let me just say how amazing it was! It gave me chills listening to them sing. I would recommend going to Vegas just to see the show. The theater is built just for the Phantom and it was amazing. We sat like four rows from the stage. It was so cool. I am so glad my husband took me there! He did and amazing job!





After the show we headed back to the hotel to hangout. Then on Sunday morning we headed to the Hoover Dam. It is so pretty there! I even got to go to AZ!!








Then we said our goodbyes and headed home and I slept!

It was such a good surprise weekend. Made a good end to our first year of marriage. So weird that it has been that long!
Thank you Tyler for the fun weekend! It was the perfect way to celebrate our 1st Anniversary! I love you so much! You rock! And thanks Ben and Jess for helping us celebrate!
