Wedding
Honeymoon
These pictures were taken after the reception in Las Vegas, on the return trip to Colorado, and on our honeymoon at Antler's Pointe in Estes Park, Colorado.
Last Night in Vegas
What a way to spend our wedding night - cruising around Vegas! My sister wanted to take me on the roller coaster ride at New York - New York, and also on the Big Shot on top of the Stratosphere. After all that excitement, we went to the Holiday Inn to get something to eat at Quark's, but they were closed. We ended up at the cafe where we were seated by the most annoying hostess EVER!
This picture was taken on the Manhattan Express roller coaster at the New York-New York casino.
Here's everyone at the top of the Stratosphere hotel/casino. The view was awesome, and well worth the $6.50. bark row: Chris, Bryan, Kat, Dave, Kira. Front row: L., Glenn, Iwan, Leanns.
The happy couple.

My sister trying to kill me and Chris on my wedding night! I was afraid my ring (or my head!) might fall off on this thing.
These doors in the Stratosphere have more signage per square inch than we had ever seen.
The Trip Home
We barely got to the airport in time for our departing flight from Vegas, but we needn't have worried - it ended up being delayed by an hour. When we arrived in Phoenix, we had less than 5 minutes to catch our scheduled connection - but it ended up being late too. Unfortunately, our luggage did not make it onto the flight. Once we got to Denver, we waited for the next flight from Vegas, but it was delayed as well (surprise, surprise). We decided not to wait (there was no guarantee that our luggage was on that flight anyway), and to head fo the honeymoon room that we were already paying for (we didn't get to Estes Park until about 1am).
Bryan's mom at the Luxor. Bad picture of her, but check out the goon in the background (no, he was not with us!)

The Honeymoon
We spent our honeymoon (what little there was of it) at the Antler's Pointe cabins in Estes Park, Colorado. It was a lot of fun and very relaxing after the hectic wedding days. Unfortunately, we missed out on much of the first night because of the lost luggage, and most of the next day when we had to go down to Longmont to get our luggage (which Bryan then forgot to put in the trunk). We also had to leave early so Kat could make a trip to Salt Lake City with Kira for a surgery. Guess we'll just have to go back!
Antler's Pointe. Not sure why "on the river" is in quotes (guess it's not actually floating on the river or anything).

We stayed in the middle unit.

On the banks of the...river in Estes Park, CO.
A bad hair day.
Didn't make it in time here either.
This one didn't turn out too bad.
Use the tripod, Luke!
Nighttime shot up river toward the city.
Sure getting my exercise in with the auto-timer pictures.

That "Elite" cost us an additional $50!
The entrance road and parking lot. It's off the beaten path, so there was virtuall no traffic.
The office is in the building on the left.
Our half of the cabin. The walls were insulated really well - we never heard the neighbors.
View looking up river. Antler's Pointe holds weddings in the gazebo on the right.
Another view down the river.
