Day 7- Las Vegas

Day 7: VEGAS!

WHAT IS UP EVERYONE! It is the Dopey's again for our last blog, we know you will miss us! Today was a new day full of new adventures for all of us, including the new adventure of getting to wake up when we wanted this morning which was unexpected (meaning breakfast would be ready at 8 am and we had to be ready to go by that time.) While we had this luxury we also mostly all got up around 6:30 am because the sun rises super early, and we have seemed to make new friends at the campsite, the campsite crows with LOVE to eat our leftover food. Some of us even were able to shower around 7 and get nice and fresh for Vegas! While we were getting ready the cooks prepared a meal that was truly spectacular, imagine the cooking of Bobby Flay but 20x better. They would have been able to compete on the show Beat Bobby Flay, we had sausage, egg, and potato, breakfast burrito's along with orange juice and apples! This was a wonderful way to start off our extremely busy and eventful day. 



Maybe not Evans finest attire...

To prepare for this, each of us suited up in our finest clothing. For some this was shirts and khakis while others wore sundresses. As we loaded the vans and bus, the excitement for the upcoming adventure was filling the air. For our bus ride, we were separated into our groups. Our Dopey group was able to sit together on the bus. Our upcoming challenge was then presented to us. We were to change the lyrics of a well known song to relate to TWB. Our group chose Escape, (Pina Colada song by Rupert Homes). It turns out, most everyone loved our song.



Our next stop was Walmart. Many of us bought socks for bowling in Vegas as we were not able to get to our bags below the bus. We were told to pack for the next two days. This packing list consisted of Pajamas, toothbrush, toothpaste, pillow, bathing suit, sunscreen, and a towel. This list was given to us as we were staying the night on the bus while the amazing Sean drove us to Santa Monica overnight. In Walmart, our cooks bought us breakfast for the next morning. Many of us found a restaurant in the Walmart which served Philly cheesesteaks and things of the sorts. This place was called Charleys. We then loaded the bus in our pretty sun dresses and khaki pants with nice shirts. 







A few hours later, we passed the Hoover Dam and we were amazed by the size and beauty. Many of us were able to take pictures as we passed. This bus ride consisted of very much Karaoke. Very many songs were requested and put into the queue. This was by far a favorite bus ride for many. Hours later, we ended up at the Golden Coast hotel. Las Vegas here we come! As we arrived at Vegas, Dallas walked us over to the Caesars Palace for pictures and a safety rundown. After this, we were able to separate into our groups and explore Vegas with our new friends. Some hot-spots within the groups were In-N-Out, the Eiffel Tower, Margaritaville, New York, New York, and the Bellagio Fountain light show. Many of us had very interesting experiences that will forever be in our memories. We can now say that we have been to Vegas! 










!!!HI PARENTS!!!












To avoid the curfew for minors, we made it to the bowling alley in the Golden Coast hotel by 9:15. This was a very fun bowling experience as many of us were able to spend time with and meet new people! 











After bowling, we headed back to the bus and vans with aching feet and exhausted bodies. We loaded and then headed to a gas station nearly 40 minutes away to brush our teeth and change into pajamas. After this short drive, we were all ready to go to bed and head to Santa Monica. We were so excited to go to sleep in Vegas and wake up in Santa Monica! We hope all is well back home and we love you guys! We hate to leave but this will be the last blog written by the Dopey group. Peace out and we will see you soon!

(More Pictures to come!)
