Day 1 - Las Vegas


Surprise, surprise! Today was actually a pretty good day. We left the house this morning at 9:15 am - only 15 minutes behind schedule. Had to drop off Jazz at the Kennel... pretty sad... we will all miss him so much! Then we were on the road to Vegas. Amazingly, the kids only asked, "Are we there yet?" a handful of times. They were too busy drawing with their pads of paper and magic markers that Grandma bought for them. We didn't even put on one DVD the entire trip.

So, lunch at Mad Greek in Baker. Gyro's... so yummy! Of course, the kids got hamburgers. I guess I can't expect gourmets from everyone. We'll have to work a little harder on their ethnic taste buds.

We got to Vegas about 3:00 and were at the pool by 3:30. Hot, but not too hot. The kids had a blast swimming. A quick bite to eat at the hotel and then we were off to the Strip to party! Okay, so party means dessert at Serendipity 3 at Caesar's Palace... but what can you expect with three kids under 10? If you are ever in Vegas, I highly recommend the Frozen Hot Chocolate at Serendipity 3. Amazingly refreshing.

We topped off the evening watching the water fountain show at the Bellagio. The kids were awed by it.

Couldn't publish today because the hotel (South Point) charges $12.99 for internet access. Highway robbery! Will wait until Kingman.

So tomorrow... off to Arizona. Hotter...and hotter... and hotter!
