Flagstaff is a horrible HORRIBLE town.... maybe?

We were heading to Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago to visit Doug's younger brother, we will call him "Bobby" (since I don't know if wants to be featured in my blog). He just bought a gorgeous condo in Las Vegas, so originally we wanted to go to help him paint, but the painting was 99% done so we didn't lift a finger (we are such nice people).

On the way down there we passed through Flagstaff, Arizona but not without the attention of some sneaky cops. They weren't really sneaky, but they did hide extremely well. Doug drove for most of the trip, but I decided to jump behind the wheel since the landscape was wonderful and all the "major cities" we went through felt like small towns, which gives me no anxiety to drive through them. I maintained a speed between 5-10 miles over the speed limit, which mind you, was the exact same speed my husband was just driving too, and I got pulled over.

It went down like this.

Me: "Doug isn't the snow on these hills gorgeous. Flagstaff is not such a bad place!"
Doug: "Yeah, its really pretty"
Me: "OH CRAP, OH CRAP, OH CRAP THERE IS A COP!" (he was nestled between two pretty hills)
Then he got up next to me, and slowed down, and as soon as he turned on his lights, I turned on my hazard lights instead of my turn signal and pulled off to the side of the road.

While he was running my plates to see if  I was driving a stolen car, Doug got out my license and our registration out. He is such a good husband, if he were to get pulled over, I would have been frozen, and wouldn't have been able to compose myself around the officer, and I probably would have turned on the hazard lights.

The cop asked me if I knew how fast I was going, and figuring that honesty is the best policy, I decided to say..."Oh, I don't know, around 85", I immediately felt stupid for telling him I was CLEARLY breaking the law, its basically like running up to a cop and saying "I'm breaking the law!" but in this case the cop said "Yes, I did clock you in at 85". I thought for sure he was going to write me a ticket, and then I'd have to feel guilty for the rest of our Vegas trip, but he said the magic words "I'll just write you a warning".

Flagstaff isn't so bad afterall. The warning came back with a clocked speed of 79 mph! What a nice guy!

The rest of the trip went off without a hitch! We visited fancy casino's and plenty of awesome local casinos, that were off the strip. Thats where we won the most money. The last place we visited was called The Canery and it was all 1940's pin up themed, it was so cute! And this guy fell asleep on a slot machine next to me, which was highly entertaining.

I love that she is so CLOTHED! It was nice seeing that for a change (Vegas can be gross).

Then it was back to work for Doug and I, and I was dragging for 3 days after we got back.

In other news, I saw Twilight: Breaking Dawn, last Friday and it was awesome, except I miss the enthusiam of southern movie goers. They cheer, and clap, and laugh, I miss that. The movie was overall an awesome one, but it did have some horrible scenes, like any that had those CGI wolves, ugh, they are so poorly done, they should hire WETA (the nerds who did Lord of The Ring), those guys are AWESOME!

Stupid Twilight with its horrible CGI

Awesome LOTR with its elephant-y animals

I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving, I know I will. "Bobby" is coming over from Las Vegas, and we plan on watching some Ghostbusters, and making an awesome turkey dinner; jealous?
