YO-ho-YO-ho...

...a pirates life for me!

My amazing trip to California didn't end as soon as we pulled into the city we call home. Nope, we just kept on driving until we got to Boulder City, Nevada. Why you may ask? To go to the best secret in the Vegas Valley: Pirates Cove. 

I have heard a few things about this place here and there, but let me tell you.... nothing anyone says does it justice. You have to see it to believe it. And I am so glad I got to experience it first hand, even if it was just for a few hours.

Pirates Cove is a 22,000 square feet, 20 bedroom, 25 bath, 3 swimming pool and 2 water slide, mansion in Boulder City, NV that rents to friends, family, and corporations only for $10,000-25,000 a night. DIZZANGG.

A girl in the neighboring ward is a friends of the owner, and she hosted a huge singles party all weekend long. Since we were in California, we didn't make the party, but we got there for the aftermath. It was really actually perfect because we had the whole place to ourselves, whereas there were over 100 people there over the weekend. They said the line for the water slide was ridiculous. We, on the other hand, did whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted, and yes....we went down the slide too many times to count.

We also jumped off the mast, which is a lot scarier than it looks. Rode the rope swing. Teeter tottered on the the scariest teeter totters ever. Ate ice cream and icee's (yummy). Hot tubbed. Swam (the pools are even heated). Got our buff on at the gym. And even got to enter the forbidden, The Captain's Quarters. (No one gets to stay there besides the captain himself, (owner) and Jody :) )

Seriously, this place is heaven on earth. Maybe even better than Disneyland. :) 
If you ever get the chance to go.....GOOOOOOO!!

 I bet your Memorial Day weekend was anywhere as exciting as mine...   :)
