Spring Break 2011

Spring Break!!! Well, not quite the same as I remember it from college... doing shots till 3am has now turned into sipping a glass of wine till 11pm. Which I think is perfect, by the way :)

While we were hoping for a Hawaii or Mexico trip, I found out that I had to be in Las Vegas for work on
Wed & Thursday. Since it was right in the middle of the week, our Spring Break options were limited. We decided to fly in and out of Vegas, and do a road trip to Sedona (only ~4 hrs away) Friday-Tuesday.

Here are some trip highlights:
-Got stuck in a very scary snowstorm on I-40 in Arizona and took 11 hours instead of 4 to reach Sedona. Drove from 11pm to 10am, through the night and stuck in our car for 1-2 hrs at a time when the roads were blocked by trucks sliding backwards down the hill ahead.
-Took naps in the middle of the freeway when we were stuck in the snowstorm and stuck
-I lost my camera. It's either in the rental car, at Szechuan Grill, or at the Hilton Sedona Resort room 10624.
-Naina petted a snake! and loved it
-Swimming!! Yes, the day after the blizzard, it was sunny and 70, so we hit the pool
-Back in Vegas, we stayed at Bellagio. WOW!!! Really.
-Drunk Columbian guy and his Russian wife at my work dinner who ordered 5 bottles of Pinot.

What a trip it was - N's first Spring Break trip!
