Last week, I travelled to Lake Havasu, Arizona for the Western Pyrotechnics Assocation's WinterBlast 2011 event. I went with our company to sell the event shirts, hats and jackets. I was excited to go on my first official business trip!
Overall, the trip was a success! We sold out of all of our event merchandise and sold a lot of the other year-round merch that we brought. It was a lot of work and tiring, but it was fun too! Basically, the event was for pyrotechnics (professional or hobby) to get together, attend some seminars on fireworks, shoot some fireworks off, etc. Then, at night, there would be amazing fireworks shows! Like, the best I've ever seen. Here's a little recap of the trip:

| This is the fancy mall that was featured on the Bachelor! Notice how the hotel building is leaning. Pretty cool! |
 |
| Bellagio Hotel. This has the big fountains in front (like on Ocean's Eleven). |

| Caesar's Palace=classic Vegas |
 |
| On the drive to Lake Havasu- nothing but desert and mountains! Beautiful! |
 |
| I liked his guy- Terrible! That's his name! It was a gas station (with a casino). |
 |
| I got my own hotel room- felt like VIP! I don't know why the blankets were so lumpy. |
