Sisters

It has been about 2 months since I started this.

I just got back from a trip to Utah and then on to Las Vegas with my Sisters and Mother.

We had so much fun together. It has been 11 years since we were all together.

We all arrived early in Utah to attend a family reunion at my Dads home in Alpine. (That is a whole different story to tell another time)

Saturday afternoon we left the reunion and headed out to St George, we stayed the night at a friend of Moms winter home. Beautiful and so relaxing to stay some where that has everything you need and nobody knows the phone #. We visited, rested, and did our fingernails the best part of the whole vacation was all the visiting and resting we were able to do. When we got up the next morning we packed and headed out to Las Vegas and the planned portion of our trip.

When we got to Las Vegas we had reservations at the Orleans and spent 2 hours in a huge long line checking in. Mom and I sent Ben and Holly up to the rooms and went to get the Peter, Paul, and Mary concert tickets. When we got upstairs holly was standing in the hall her key wouldn't work and Ben was down the hall on a phone telling the desk that the other room was occupied.

While Ben and Mom went to get a new room Holly jumped in the shower and when they got back to the room they told us that we both had new rooms.

The rest of the trip went very smooth. The concert was so fun Ben Holly, and I were almost the youngest in the room.

The next day we had our massage and facial in the spa we also did the jacuzzi and steam room so relaxing. when we were all relaxed Holly booked us a pedicure for the next day and bought tickets to see Oceans 13.

On Tuesday we got tickets to see Spam a lot (great show) Holly and I rode the shuttle to the strip and walked around then we went back to the room and ordered room service dinner and got ready for the show. We had a lot of laughs at the show. Thanks Holly for the show idea.

On Wednesday we did the jacuzzi and steam room then we hurried to check out before noon.

We hit the road and went back to St. George for the night and had more rest and visit time. We got to spend time at cousin Jenny's for a few hours of visiting and catch-up on our lives.

We were having so much fun relaxing that we stayed until Friday morning and hit the road again. We got to Salt Lake with just enough time to pick up my extra bag and get me to the airport. I was the first one to leave, Ben left on Saturday and Holly on Sunday.

This was a much needed trip by all of us and the connections and love were strong.

Thank you to my family for letting me do this and not make be sorry I did.

While I was gone Mark and Joshua left for Philmont. Aria, Steven and Skylar came to stay with the little kids.

The big sister, I hope they will all want to get together like this some day.

My sisters and I are very different. So different that I don't know if we would ever pick each other as friends in the outside world not because we don't like each other but we would never meet. It is good to have family to make you grow and try new things. To teach you and help you understand and except other ways of doing things.
