Long story short, Ben and I procrastinated and got a wee bit too picky about the Honeymoon. Ben wanted to go to Canada....? and I really wanted to go to California, I've never even driven through there. I just wanted a change of scenery and a beach. Alas, we took too long to pick a resort and ended up in Vegas (not even on the strip because once again we were too picky, waiting for something better), in a time share that we couldn't even check into until Monday. We ended up staying in a random casino we found online that was about 3 miles from the strip. It ended up being pretty sweet. When we checked in they upgraded us to a way nicer room with an awesome view. The only downfall was that we had to live out of our suitcases because we'd just have to pack up and move locations again in a few days.
After all of the fiasco's were over and we were settled into our little condo, it was a really fun and relaxing trip. It's so exciting to go to the Las Vegas Strip for your first time or with someone who's never been. Ben is interested in so many things, so not only was he able to see new places, but I saw stuff I'd never even noticed before, like the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign. I've been to vegas so many stinkin' times and I have NEVER seen this sign.
We spent an eternity in the Hard Rock Cafe. Probably the coolest thing I've ever seen. I just wanted to take pictures of everything, and kiss all of the Beatles. There are some seriously rad things in that place. I won't bore you with all of the photo's, because they honestly don't do justice. If you're ever in Vegas, go check out MC Hammer's getup, or the police report from Jim Morrison's arrest.
Ben had just turned 21 a couple weeks prior, so we made sure to get him into a casino at least once. I think he learned his lesson, or maybe not, I'm just glad he's an active LDS member or else we might be in debt by now.
Ben and I did a lot of wondering and sat in on a lot of free shows. You'd be surprised how much stuff you can do there for zero dollars. We watched circus shows, street performers, the fountains etc. I loved loved LOVED spending time with my sweet new husband. It helped us to get to know each other even better than before. We are goof balls and we love being together so I think marriage looks good on us.

Awesome! In your defense, that sign is at the wrong end of the strip! I didn't see it until like the 3rd time I was there too! Marriage does look good on you two. :)
