Vegas is Boring they Said, It's just the Strip

m It has been almost an entire year for me here in Las Vegas.  I moved here with big aspirations to work on the strip and get my bills paid off.  Things didn't turn out the way I had originally planned.  Maybe they turned out better, I'm not sure, but I do know I had some fun adventures along the way and met some wonderful people! I didn't end up working on the strip, I ended up working in a 5th Grade classroom near the strip.  I learned so much from my students in the time I was there teaching them math.

I have never really been a big person on the club scene, maybe that's why working on the strip was not appealing to me anymore, so I looked for other things to experience while I was in Vegas.  Believe it or not, it has about as much hiking and mountain biking as Colorado! Not to mention the National and State Parks so close. And then of course there is the beer and wine tastings!  What?!?!  Who knew! 

If you are in the area for a while or just a week and want something other than the strip, you've found the right place! You may need to rent a car for these activities, but its worth it, if you're looking for something other than your typical Vegas Vacation.

I have included a few snapshots of the many adventures I've experienced and love to share with you while I was here!  I hope I inspire some of you to check out a new place!!  Get outside and explore more!
