So we headed on our first family trip of four to Las Vegas on September 29. That morning Josh went to class and the girls and I went to "school" for a few hours and then Josh loaded the car and made sandwiches and grabbed Oskar and picked us up and we headed to Mapleton where we left Oskar with Josh's mom to be watched while we were gone. Then we were on our way...5 hrs and almost 50 mins (according to map quest). Both girls were great travelers and we had a smooth ride and arrived close to 10 o clock at night. We unloaded the car, checked in, and CRASHED! The next day, which was Saturday, we went to M & M world and the Coke factory and ate at NY NY (we loved the chicago dog by the way and intend to recreate it at home for a dinner one night...mmmmm mouth salivates as i think about it) and walked along the strip and took the tram to Mandala Bay for the aquarium and then back to the hotel for a swim and our special dinner and watched the water show at Bellagio. On Sunday we spent a little time at the outlets and relaxed and HAD to go to our favorite store H&M at the mall at Caesars Palace and ate dinner at the Secret Pizza and played pool and watched the Bellagio fountains again and saw a street performance and adey got a free flower made out of palm tree. On Monday we slept in (much needed) and packed up and checked out and headed to breakfast at Hash House a go go and then went on our way home. We took our time and had a great family vacation....one of many. We definitely want to go back to Vegas with the girls but probably when they are older (especially with out a stroller and when I am not nursing....)
both of these pictures are from our drive...the sunset was after our dinner in Cedar City...isn't it beautiful? one of our favorite things about Utah
me and the girls took some time by the pool to relax while Josh felt the need to stay in doors
we decided to get dressed up and have a nice dinner at the wicked spoon which was a gourmet buffet that had super yummy food... definitely once in a life time experience for us! Josh had some unusual items like piranha and roasted bone marrow and lamb and truffled potatoes. Adey had preshutto and gelato. I had them make me a special macaroni and cheese which Adey ate tons of and a califlower salad. OMG the green beans were so good and they had tons of other desserts that I cannot remember the names of. It was fun and we enjoyed ourselves!
Adey's first time blowing her hair all by herself and she had quite fun! and then Paisley is lounging waiting on everyone to get ready while sucking on her hand which is one of her new favorite things to do right now by the way
a few of the hotels on the strip at night: Paris and the Bellagio
The Bellagio does an amazing water shower very often at night...we saw like 3 or 4 different shows
playing pool with Daddy while we ate at the Secret Pizza at the Cosmopolitan hotel...very yummy!
Me and Miss P watching daddy and sissy play pool...it was quite entertaining
