SlotZilla
My husband and I went on our first anniversary trip last year, and one of the many things we got to do was go to Las Vegas! We stayed there for two nights and one of the things we did in Vegas was the SlotZilla. If you don't know, the SlotZilla is a zip line that takes you over some busy areas, depending on the kind of ride you choose. There are two choices on how you can ride SlotZilla. You can either choose the zip line which is seven stories up, fly in a traditional sitting style and it only goes over two blocks. If the first option seems a little too boring, or you are more of a thrill seeker, the other option is to do the zoom line which is eleven stories up, fly in a "superhero" style and it goes over five blocks.

Going to a Celtic Festival
I had previously been to a Celtic festival that was hosted in downtown Saint Augustine. There were a large parade and a long crowd of people wanting to get into Francis Field for the highland games, good music, good food, and all the best merchandise you can find about Celtic customs.

Icelandic Punk Museum
I didn’t know what to expect during my week in Iceland, but I didn’t expect to find a punk museum. My knowledge in Icelandic music is limited, but I am a big fan of Björk’s albums, especially Verspitine. I haven’t listened to anything by her band The Sugarcubes, but that all changed when I set foot in Iceland.
