Las Vegas | The Roadtrip

by Kristi on December 15, 2008 · 14 comments · Photography


This weekend, my fiancé and I took a trip to Sin City – Las Vegas. Over the course of the week, I will be posting a series of photos of our favorite spots. Today’s selection is from the drive between Phoenix and Vegas.

I went to Hoover Dam back in 1991 when I was in the States. What an amazing man made structure it is. Very imposing.

Very nice pictures of the trees – I’ve always wanted to goto Las Vegas, so I’m quite jealous of you, lol!

The drive there from Phoenix is always a nice one. Though, after making the journey so many times, I now prefer flying there if the rates are right;)

Kristi, you’re a great photographer! The scenery looks very familiar to me as the hubby have driven there many times. I’m so glad you had a fun time on your trip. And keep posting pics; I’ll check back!

Amazing, you went to Sin City and I took my family to Sydney. Your destination was full of casinos and mine only had one. The only other similarity is that we both had a good time and we both took heaps of photos, that we both will be posting on our respective blogs :)

@Jen, Andy: Yes it is. My fiancé didn’t think much of it until he was looking right over the edge straight down. That view always gives me a bit of vertigo.

@Shanker: Thanks. I always try to get the shots of things I find breathtaking.

@Dan: I’ve been wanting some photos of fall colors for awhile, and I had to pit stop to get these, behind a Long John Silvers, oddly enough.

@Justin: For a solo trip, it makes sense to fly. For me & my fiancé, the gas was much less than two tickets. Plus we got to listen to a lot of Harry Potter along the way, which was fun.

@Debbie: Thanks! I hope you’ve enjoyed the pictures for the week. One more post to get the miscellaneous shots will be coming tomorrow.

@Dennis: You should go back… it’s much more fun as an adult!

@Mike: We couldn’t make it for a show this trip. But we plan on it next time. We did see Cirque du Soleil in Prescott a few weeks ago, which was quite fun.

@Sire: Your photos of Sydney are amazing, especially the fireworks!

@Ben: I do my best to enjoy life, and to capture the best moments in photos. :)

Those are some wonderful pictures. I love traveling in the fall when all the colors are changing. Without a doubt my favorite time of the year.

@Best Trends Blog: I will do my best! :)

@Taylor: Definitely. I missed my first opportunity at fall colors when driving through Prescott without my camera, so I had to make up for it on this trip.
