Bright Lights and Big Magic: A Night in Las Vegas

Las Vegas, NV

We spent the morning driving once again, stopping for lunch on the road before rolling into the city. Once we got checked into the hotel, we made our way to the Venetian for some shopping and dinner.

San Diego, CA

And for anyone looking to cool off, Tiana's Bayou did the trick, sending more than a few of us home a little soaked and a lot happy.

Los Angeles, CA

Today with The Grand Western Tour, we swapped sandy beaches for the glitz of Los Angeles, and the city gave us a day straight out of the movies. After starting things off with a hotel breakfast, our lady bag loaders stepped up and stacked the bus full of suitcases, and just like that, we were […]
