April 29, 2000 - 15 years old

April 29, 2000 I went on Spring Break and haven’t been able to write in my journal so I’ll backtrack through my trip (end to beginning) so I keep the days straight. (April 29) Today I came home, we left Las Vegas at noon and got home at 9:30pm. It didn’t really take that long because we went through a couple of time zones and had a 3hr. layaway in Chicago. The plane trip from Chicago to Milwaukee took about 13minutes. (April 28) Today we went to Caesar’s Palace Mall and saw a 3D show called “Ride to Atlantis,” it was so-so. We also visited a giant toy store (that was cool). Afterward we saw a comedy/magic show that was very good. For dinner we went to the “Tournament of Kings” it was like Medieval Times (knights jousting, etc.) but had more pyrotechnics and special effects. Our king (the King of Ireland) won a lot of events. Overall it was very good. (April 27) (Found out Aunt Jenny had a baby girl on April 27) Today we visited the Grand Canyon. It was very impressive. Afterwards we drove to Las Vegas and saw a Pirate show at Treasure Island. (April 26) Today we toured Mesa Verde, (it’s a place where a bunch of Native Americans lived and left ruins of cliff-cities and other things) and it was long but ok. After that we went to Four Corners and stayed at a hotel in a big Navajo Indian reservation. (April 25) Today we visited Arches National Park. It was a lot of fun. We got to climb on the Arches and everything. (April 24) Today we visited BYU bookstore and ate at Carolyn’s restaurant (she’s a waitress there). It was fun. (April 23) Today was Easter Sunday. I had a good time at church, etc. (April 22) Today I hung out with relatives and went Easter egg hunting. It was a lot of fun. (April 21) Today I hung out with friends a while and then took a plane to Las Vegas around 9:00pm. Then we started driving to Carolyn’s house.
