Gary and I recently went to Las Vegas to celebrate my 40th birthday. We did a lot of fun stuff and ate A LOT of good food. Here are a few pictures of all the fun things we did.

This is the view out of our hotel room. We stayed at Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa in Henderson. This is the 3rd time we've stayed there and we love it.

On Monday, June 21, we went to the Atomic Testing Museum. They don't allow you to take any pictures inside the museum, but this is the hand-stamp they give you when you go in. We thought it was pretty funny.

On Tuesday, June 22, we went to Mt. Charleston, which is northwest of Las Vegas. We hiked to a waterfall and this is along the trail. It was really pretty. We saw a lizard on the trail that had an electric blue tail but it was too fast to get a picture. Darn!

Towards the top of the trail, there was actually still some snow on the ground. I'm not sure what the elevation was, but the temperature dropped a good 20-30 degrees from in town.

This is the waterfall at the top of the trail. Very pretty.

I laughed pretty hard when I saw this sign.

Part of the package we had at the hotel included a $50 dining credit so we ordered room service for my birthday breakfast. It was delicious!

We celebrated my birthday, June 23, with dinner at Mon Ami Gabi, a french bistro restaurant. Our server was so nice. My creme brulee had a candle in it and she offered to take our picture. The food was delicious. Our table was in the doorway to the patio and we had a wonderful view of the Bellagio fountains.

On Thursday morning, June 24, we went through a session at the Las Vegas temple. The grounds at the temple are beautiful.

I actually took this picture upside down as we drive by on the strip. It turned out pretty good.
