What a rollercoaster morning! We kicked off the day with grand plans for a sleep-in, but nature and urban symphonies had other ideas. Just imagine: the crows squawking like they're having a debate, car alarms going off in a synchronized dance routine (round two!), and distant coyotes adding their two cents to the dawn chorus.
But hey, who needs sleep when you can embrace the chaos, right? After finally rolling out of bed fashionably late, we seized the day like champions. Some opted for the soothing embrace of a Starbucks cup, while others fancied a refreshing shower to shake off the morning mayhem. And let's not forget the brave souls who decided today was THE day to tackle Mount Laundry! Better late than never, right?
After devouring delicious breakfast burritos (seriously, big shoutout to Grumpy's for the fuel!), we geared up for the next leg of our journey—across the scorching desert. The challenge? Packing everything we'd need for the next two action-packed days into our trusty daybags. Who knew you could fit so much adventure into such a compact space?
Once we were geared up and raring to go, the TWB staff dropped some knowledge bombs on us to maximize our trip's awesomeness. Energized and motivated, we hit the road and split into groups to tackle our mission of the day: crafting the ultimate TWB-themed remix! As proud members of Team Dopey's, we're convinced our remix of "Wagon Wheel" is going to blow the competition out of the water!
A TWB day isn't complete without our mandatory Walmart adventure—because where else can you find everything from camping gear to the weirdest snacks imaginable? First stop: Walmart, check!
Cruising along, Dallas decides to play tour guide and marvels at the surreal desert landscape (sorry, Hoover Dam, you were just too stealthy for pics this time). Then, bam! We hit Vegas, where the thermostat casually reads 115 degrees like it's no big deal—talk about stepping into a literal oven!
After snapping a killer group shot by the fountain, we split into squads of six or more, ready to conquer the Strip like pros. Let the Vegas adventures begin—because when TWB hits Sin City, we roll the dice and play for keeps!
Councilors chilling watching the Water Show.
We all had a blast bowling from then until 1am. Gopher had “perfect game” (if you ignore the fact that he edited a couple rounds). This whole entire time, Shawn was getting a good nights rest in preparation to drive to Santa Monica through the night.
Finally heading out of Vegas to sleep on the bus or the vans.
