Watching Meteors and The Nation's Tallest Christmas Tree

This last Sunday Dan and I found out about a Meteor shower that was taking place. From what we found out the shower had been going on for a month but it was suppose to be really easy to see that night. We head south toward pahrump to get away from the Vegas Lights. There was suppose to be 100 meteors in 1 hour. We also heard that from China they could see 300 per hour. We saw a lot of them and had a lot of fun eating cookies and drinking hot chocolate. Nothing like spending time with husband!

Dan and I watching the shower. It was a little chilly outside but nothing a little hot chocolate couldn't do.

We also went over to The M Resort and got to see the nation's tallest Christmas tree. It was huge! I had to go this far back to get it all in.
We have had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year since there is no snow in Vegas but after this outing, we started feeling a little better!
