ATV's and... Justin Bieber?

Yep, you read that right.  K and I had a very exciting weekend, and it all started out with Justin Bieber...
On Friday night we went to a birthday party for one of K's co-workers (we'll call him "B") and that gem was on the door, waiting to greet us when we arrived at B's house.  It turned out, the theme of the party was "Pretty Princess meets Justin Bieber" which was obviously a great theme... for a guy... turning 25.  Of course it was all a joke, and B played along quite well.

On Saturday, K and I went with B and his girlfriend, K, on an ATV tour out in the desert.  We were picked up in the early afternoon and drove out to Nelson's Landing, which is about 45 minutes southeast of Las Vegas.  The "base camp" was located at an antique shop where we wandered around for a little while.  There was a lot of... interesting stuff.


And then the real fun started.  We rode around for about 4 hours with stops to enjoy the view and check out a few mines.  Then we stopped for a delicious BBQ dinner at a restored mining camp.









The mountains and the view were so beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice.  Unfortunately, one of the guys on the tour with us fell off his ATV and dislocated his shoulder.  He was busy looking back at his wife the entire time because she was very scared, and when he looked back one too many times... oops.  So we had to cut the trip short by about an hour and a half so we could get him back into town.  Despite the little accident, we had an amazing time.  You can check out the tour company's website here.  The trip was so much more fun than I imagined it would be, and I would highly recommend a trip to anyone visiting Las Vegas. 

I hope you all had a great weekend to finish out February... I can't believe the month is already over!  Onward and upward to March...
