Night Out

After working on lesson plans and grading papers all day, Cat, Nicole and I wanted to get out of our apartments for awhile. We decided to go to Ethel M chocolate factory (since it is free) and cactus gardens. Well, it was closed. So we went and grabbed some dinner at Chipolte...yummy! and went to this fantastic spot on Sunset that I discovered. Ok first let me say that I have this strange fascination with airplanes. I think it is so cool that this chunk of metal carrying people and luggage can lift into the sky and stay there for hours at a time. Well, I found this place on Sunset where you can sit and watch the runway at LV airport. I was totally stoked. We watched planes land and take off for about 30 minutes then went to our favorite place...Golden Spoon! for some after dinner frozen yogurt.

We did all this to kill some time while we were waiting on Sariah to call so we could meet up with her friends on the strip. Well, plans fell through so the three of us decided to head to the Belliago and watch the fountains...Nicole had never seen them. Well, the weather was BEAUTIFUL, small breeze and perfect temperature - not too cold and not hot at all! The fountains were fantastic - as always! And in the botanical garden inside they had redecorated for fall... pumpkins, raining trees and gourds and tons of orange, yellow and red. There was also a very cool chocolate fountain - not in the garden but by the spa. A fun night out with friends. **Please note that better pictures of the gardens will come shortly...the dark lighting in there did not show the true beauty of the scenes! We are going back Halloween day to take more!**
