Disney Trip 2023 - Day 1: SLC to Las Vegas - Cactus Garden, Chocolate Store, & Vegas Temple

We left our house on Friday morning to meet up with Margie at her house.  We unpacked our stuff from our van into Margie's van.  After loading everything and everyone into the van we prayed and then started our drive to Las Vegas.  
We stopped at a rest stop on our way before we got to St. George.  Once in St. George, we stopped at Costco for gas and lunch.  After that we drove to our hotel in Las Vegas.  
After we checked into our hotel, we found out that the pool area was closed so we couldn't go swimming.  So, we decided to go to the chocolate store and cactus garden.  We went to this place a few years back and it was fun, so we wanted to go again.  Inside the chocolate factory and store they have big windows where you can watch the workers make and package the chocolate.  They also have a large store with many different types of chocolates and souvenirs.  Outside they have a large cactus garden with fun paths that intertwine throughout the gardens.  They have a Joshua Tree there and it's fun to have Josh take a picture with the tree.  
After we went out to dinner at Applebee's.  The food was good, and we had a good time.  We decided to go see the Las Vegas temple after dinner.  It wasn't too far away, and we had the time.  It is a pretty temple and we enjoyed walking around it.  It was a little colder than we thought it would be.  But totally worth it.  After we drove back to the hotel and relaxed for the rest of the evening.
