The Best of January

I thought I'd do a look back of my favorites/best of's in January. As a re-cap, I went to California, Kansas City, Independence, Las Vegas and finally made my way back home. 

California: This was taken the day we took family pictures - this wins a "best of" moment because it combines so many of my favorite things - CA, the beach, my family - it doesn't get much better than that. 

Kansas City: It was FREEZING! Because of that (or least that's what I think the reason was..) it was kind of like a ghost town. But, the sunsets were still beautiful and it was fun to walk around the iconic power and light district.

Attractions: Kansas City won with the art museum. It was pretty big - had a lot of variety and I could have spent several days there - but I'm a sucker for art. However, Independence definitely won most touching with the Liberty Jail. Seriously, I can't even put into words how touching it was.

 Las Vegas: I've been to Vegas enough times that I definitely don't take full advantage anymore. But this time, I was reminded of how much I like the strip at night. Aside from all the clubs, restaurants and shopping, there's tons of free, fun stuff to do like see the Bellagio gardens and water show, check out the street vendors and tour the M&M/Coke Factories. Next on my Vegas list are the Freemont zipline and High Roller.

 This was the way I kicked off my last day before I started my healthy meals. Sigh. Gotta go out with a bang, ya know? 

 Provo: Finally, I made it back home. I went on a tour of the Provo City Center Temple and am so excited for it to open in March! I went to Stake conference there when I was in college and I was in Provo the night it burned.
