I have come to realise that sometimes you just have to stop.
You have to stop living the fast paced life that you live. You have to cherish every moment and you have to live. You have to take the time to ‘smell the roses’ as they say.. take the time to enjoy.
Recently I was in Las Vegas for the wedding of my friends, Tannis and Dave (watch for post to come) and decided that sometimes there is more to Las Vegas than just the neon lights and high rolling gambling tables (yes there is also awesome premium outlet shopping too). But the ‘more’ that I’m talking about is the beautiful nature that lies within the desert not to far from Sin City. The beautiful, amazing ‘Valley of Fire‘.
I won’t lie. When most people think of Las Vegas they think of The Grand Canyon and I did too the first time I went there. But some other friends had also told me about the Valley of Fire. A smaller park not to far from Vegas that was full of stunning red rocks and simply one hell of an amazing drive.
Given that I had been to Vegas twice before and this time I was staying for a week. I didn’t fancy my chances of enjoying the full week on the strip so I suggested to Fi that perhaps we get out-of-town one day and take a road trip. Well, plus there was the added incentive of this:
Living Life
Who says you can’t live the life of luxury in Vegas.. after all, what happens in Vegas…..
Quite simply our day was truly amazing. I flick back over all the photographs and am still amazed that I have been lucky enough to have witnessed such amazing scenery and I live in awe that landscapes such as this. In such an unknown place exist.
I am simply grateful for the opportunities, the sights and the ability to be able to enjoy such amazing landscapes..
