Trip Summary

It's the 27th of July.... almost August.

So. Yesterday, my family and I came back from our vacation^^ It was fun... and my friend wanted me to blog about it... so here goes.

On Monday, early in the morning, we packed up to go to Grand Canyon. As we traveled for about 2....3 hours, we came to a place called Hunan Garden.. I think that's what it was called. Anyway, it was a Chinese place and there was a Korean woman serving us.... my mom and my sister tasted the food... and some of them were too salty... and some were really bland... I didn't eat it.

Along the way, in Arizona, we came to this mini market that sold jewelries actually made by Navajo Native Americans~ from the look of it outside, it only seemed like there would be just feathers and animal teeth and stuff.. but when we actually looked, they had really pretty ones<3 they weren't cheap.. like 20 dollars for a single bracelet, but my mom bought one.... but I guess it's worth it.. because the stones seemed real and they looked hard to make... and they seemed like they weren't making any money.

When we got to Grand Canyon.. (took us like 8~9 hours to get there), we settled at KOA Kampground and ate.. hehe. The next day, we washed up and went to the place where we get to ride shuttle buses to look around Grand Canyon. It was about 25 dollars for the three of us.. and we were able to ride all the buses with it.. so it's pretty cheap I guess:)

We rode like 7 buses I think.. to look around and we took a lot of pictures of us in Grand Canyon... with our cell phones of course. It was a beautiful place~ the atmosphere was very calm and peaceful.... and so.. nature-like haha. A big peace of art work made by God^^

We went to the gift shop right after.. and I got this necklace.. which was like 13.50.... I kinda regret buying it.

After that day, we washed up again and headed for Las Vegas!
it took about 2.....3 hours.

When we arrived, we went straight to Greenland Market in Korea Town.. because my sister had to... do something.. and we were so eager to eat black bean noodles(Jjajangmyun)~ and we had to shop of course.  I didn't eat much because I wasn't that hungry.. I ate little bit of the noodles and sundae.. (not ice-cream sundaes... pig intestines) lol.

Sooo. we shopped food.. and my natural soaps for my full-of-acne face.. and then, we headed towards the premium outlets^^ We didn't even bother to look around all the hotels and such... it's the same as always anyway.

At the premium outlets, we shopped..... I got these 2 shirts from the converse store and my sister got a shirt from j-crew and jeans from Levi's.. my mom got 2 eyeliner things from lancome and a dress from Levi's... my mom bought my sister's jeans..

After that, we went to Makino and ate a lot of sushi... I ate udon too. My mom ate crabs and other hot foods.. and my sister ate desserts. of course. We were soooo full.

So, in order to digest all those foods, we decided to look around the outlets more. Since my mom had bought my sister's jeans, she told me that she would buy me something.. so I asked for a key chain from the converse store~

Later that day, we went back to the parking lot..... lol did I mention that my sister fell on the stairs on our way the outlets..? It was so awkward... o.O
We were headed to St. George~ and it took us an hour... when we got there, we had to look for Best Western... and there were like two of them close to each other... which got us all confused.

We unpacked... and we just watched TV until like 1AM... we were all able to sleep separately.. because there were three beds.. thanks to my aunt for not coming... which made my other aunt and cousins to not come either....

So we slept... comfortably. haha a real bed in like two days... those small, hard mattresses at the cabin in KOA, are soo uncomfortable. The next morning, we got up and took showers and went to Orange Peel to get some boba teas and later went to T.J Maxx.. and after that, we went to the outlets at Zion and I got these capris from rue21... if I only had 5 dollars more, I could have gotten another one.. (they were buy one, get one for 5 dollars).. but I didn't. And then... we went home, which took us 4 hours.

HOME SWEET HOME!

Sorry... that this post was so long.. with no pictures.
