I was just thinking about that time when Mike and I were in Vegas last October and wanted to document this memory. On our way back to SLC from our California road trip we decided to pit stop in Vegas just for kicks. I've never liked Vegas because literally there's nothing to do but gamble and have porn pamphlets shoved in your face 24/7. I didn't ever want to ever visit again unless I was about to see a legit Cirque du Soleil show or something cool like that. But as we were driving Mike convinced me to YOLO and chill in Vegas for a second.
It was such a pretty night. It was warm, the sunset was stunning and we got milkshakes from McDonald's as we walked the strip. I didn't take any photos. I relished the taste of strawberry ice cream. I held Mike's hand as we laughed at tourists. We made out while watching the Bellagio fountain show. It was a beautiful night. I felt so happy and free.
I want to remember that there was this air of anticipation too. I felt as though we were living in a 'Christmas Eve' sort of time bubble. We were ending our time in California which was sad. But we were only a day away from beginning our two month long travel trip through South America. Those moments in Vegas felt like a mini time freeze--a night where Mike and I were in between two very big adventures. I've only ever experienced those sort of 'time freeze' moments like right before Christmas day for example or before I moved to Virginia when I was 11 or at the end of the summer before I went off to college. I'm so very glad that we were able to make that time capsule memory and in Vegas of all places haha it was a beautiful little pocket of happiness and I'm so glad for it.
oh and if this memory was a photo it would be this one^
