Nellis Airshow!

Over the weekend Justin and I drove to Nevada to see the Nellis Airshow! We left our sweet Myah with Justin's parents (and she had a great time, I'm sure!) We stayed in a hotel called "Nellis Suites" that was simply amazing and very inexpensive...our room far exceeded our expectations! Our room had a nice living room, a full kitchen, table and chairs, and a separate bedroom with bathroom and little walk-in closet!

 

This last picture is what we saw when we walked out our door! It was so beautiful and we felt right at home. Actually, we kind of wanted to move in for good!

Here we are on the shuttle bus about to head over to Nellis AFB for the airshow! We were very excited! I don't think I've ever seen Justin more excited than that morning. He said the excitement and anticipation was way more intense than Christmas morning as a child for him!

We walked around the first 2 hours before the show started so we could see all the planes and jets. There were tons of booths to get free stuff. The Navy had a pull-up bar out and were trying to get people to come do some for prizes. Justin did 10 here and got a water bottle. He did 8 more later and got a shirt. I was so proud!

Us at our amazing spot for the airshow in front of the Thunderbirds. We were on the front row right next to where the Thunderbird pilots and crew walked out. We could have reached out and given them hugs if we wanted to! I'm surprised Justin didn't!

Here's a shot of the Thunderbirds during their part of the show. Awesome!

We had to go to the Vegas strip for a bit since Justin had never been there before. Luckily Justin is like me and we're not big fans of huge crowds and booming cities so we mostly just did a driving tour (provided by me) and then went back to our awesome, quiet hotel. We did visit the inside of the Ballagio and also the fountain shows outside.

We had a great weekend but were so excited to come back and get our cute Myah. Well...while on the road Sunday, our car pretty much broke down. Since it was Sunday (and in Utah), hardly any auto shops were open. A mechanic at the Cedar City Walmart showed us to a shop he thought was open. Unfortunately they weren't but a shop next door was! We were excited that we might still make it home that night! As he looked at the car he said he'd have to wait until Monday morning to have a better mechanic fix it. Aaaahhhh!!!! To make a long story short, we stayed at a cheap motel next door, Myah stayed another night with Justin's parents, I had an emotional break-down not being able to get to Myah and Justin comforted me, and then the next morning our car was fixed (though they took longer than anticipated) and we were on the road at noon! We arrived at 4 pm and both of our parents were there to greet us and present our beautiful little girl back to us! We are sooooo glad to be back and to have Myah with us!
