Viva Las Vegas!

Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! I’m sorry I didn’t post this yesterday but I was so exhausted, I just couldn’t bring myself to type up my blog. I know you all will enjoy it even now though!

So today was a big day. The day we came to Las Vegas. At first we parked the RV at Allegiant Stadium and walked about a mile away to the Las Vegas sign to, naturally, take a picture with the sign. Guys the line was so long, we waited 20-30 minutes to TAKE A PICTURE!!! It was worth it though! There was a guy, a professional photographer, who stood in front of the sign and took pictures of groups for free. He was very friendly and told us that one day, the high in Vegas was 120 degrees. It was only 86 degrees yesterday, so not too bad. After the pictures, we walked to In-and-Out Burger, which just felt like a mixture of Steak ‘n Shake and Five Guys. It was overall yummy and they had Bible verses on the bottom of the cups and fry holder thingys. After lunch, we went back to our RV so we could drive to our hotel. When we got to the hotel, we were allowed to be in our room early, we unloaded our things and set out into the great Las Vegas. 


At first, if I’m being honest, I wasn’t that impressed. It was just a city with lots of attractions. We were looking for some shops so that I could get a shirt, like I’ve been doing at every place. But I ended up not buying a shirt, which I’m completely fine with. I did get a sign that said ‘Micah Way’. It is a mock street sign and ima hang it on my door. We walked up and down the strip of Las Vegas and we also walked in a mile long mall. We were looking for a specific restaurant by one of my favorite chefs, Burgers by Bobby Flay, but alas we couldn’t find it so instead we went to a restaurant by another one of my favorite chefs, Guy Fieri’s Flavortown. Where are my foodies at? It was delicious!! I got a holy guacamole burger but I couldn’t have the bread so I had to get it with a lettuce wrap, it was still so delicious. My parents got trash can nachos to share, those looked so amazing and made me wish, once again, that I could have dairy. Zane got a bacon Mac 'n Cheese burger and that also looked so good! After supper, we went back to the hotel so mom and dad could change and then we headed back out onto the strip at night. We went to the mini Eiffel Tower and saw all the lights and sights at night. It was really cool! We also watched the Bellagio Fountain show from way up in the Eiffel Tower. It was beautiful! 

Yesterday we walked a total of 12 miles. Overall, I would say that the city just made me sad. I can now say I've been to Vegas, heck I even saw an Elvis impersonator, but that is enough for me. It's an interesting city and I have mixed views about it. I will catch you all next time with more meanderings!

    I'm also not a fan of Las Vegas! But it's good to visit once. Donna S.

Kickin off the Krazy

Hello fellow Homo Sapiens!! My mom told me to make this blog for school (yuckkkk) but I figured why not have fun in the midst of school! So, my first post, I know, I know, the big question is “what are you going to talk about Micah?” Well that’s an easy answer, while I could strike up a conversation with a wall, I have an easier solution. A ROAD TRIP! See, my dad (I call him padre often, just for future references), has to visit a bunch of churches all over the good ole USA. Thus making me, my younger brother Zane, my mom, and my dad live in an RV for the month of September and travel all over. So the good news is, I actually have something to talk about instead of just merely say “uhhh I did school today. And read a book.” To start off my lovely little blog (who am I kidding, we all know it’s gonna be crazy 😂), we are going to talk about weddings. Yep, you heard me, a wedding. I know so many of you are asking, “MICAH YOU GOT MARRIED???” So I will answer it right here, heck no I did n...

FAMILY FRIENDS

 Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! Today was an early start! My parents woke up at 5:30 am to start the drive from Arther, Illinois to Kansas City, Missouri. I woke up briefly when they first started driving and migrated to my parent's bed and slept for another hour or two. After I woke up, I chatted with my dad for about another hour until I decided to waste my life watching Gilmore Girls.  Can someone explain to me the point of Gilmore Girls and why it's weirdly addicting to watch it??? Like the whole show just has a ton of arguing and sarcastic comments that are really funny. I find myself laughing but at the same time, I'm bored with all the fighting that goes on between the main character and her mother. But anyway, that's enough of my thoughts on addicting Gilmore Girls. After our long drive, my mom had a meeting with the company she (and I) work through. THEN we were FINALLY on our way to visit our friends! We parked our RV in their yard and I bolted out to give everyon...

Chillin with Mr. Lombardi

Me and Mr. Lombardi Hello my fellow Homo Sapiens! It's already time for my second post! It feels like I wrote the first one just yesterday....wait, guys it was just yesterday. We are on our way from the good ole state of Wisconsin to I have no clue where. I realize now that the nickname for Wisconsin people, a cheesehead, is so accurate. And the people embrace it. There was cheese themed stuff everywhere. And lemme tell you, it was TORTURE for someone who can't have dairy. I see cheese stuff and think "ooo that would be yummy" but then I remember the stomach pains I would have to endure in the future....I guess some things wouldn't be worth it. But guys it was cheese....  Anyway! Enough about cheese, The highlight of the day yesterday by far was visiting Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. Although I am not a Packers fan (GO NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!!), I felt the need to be supportive for the Packers. The only reason I felt that was because my sister, Lydia, ...
