Hello everyone!
We just got back from our trip to Las Vegas. It was short & sweet! And a lot of fun. We drove down Thursday afternoon and made it to our hotel room by 11:30 that night. Needless to say, we went to bed as soon as we got there.
The next day was busy and action packed! Our first activity was to stop at the Outlet Stores for Matts to pick up some new sunglasses and a shirt. This was his idea, I did not have anything to do with it, I promise. Then we stopped at Kim & Alan's condo to visit family and drove out to Hoover Dam. They are building a road across the canyon just below the dam. They have too many people driving across the dam from Arizona to Nevada. I am uploading some pictures to show you how it looks. Chris has the best pictures, but these will show you the main idea.
After the ride to the dam, we went back to the condo and some of the kids went swimming until we went to dinner at a buffet down the street. There was so much food on the plates of the people sitting there. It was seafood night and the crab legs were everywhere! The food was really good, and we eat way too much. We left the casino about 10:00 pm. Some of us went back to our hotels, the rest of the group went for a walk along the strip. David and Matts were back at the hotel at 2:30 that morning.
The next day we slept in for a little while - at least the boys slept in. Then we went to the go-cart raceway. After the race we said goodby to the Kim & Alan Bird family and we drove home. After we had a long ride around town trying to find an on-ramp, but finally we were on our way home.
It was a quick trip, but it was filled with fun. We look forward to the next trip to Las Vegas - July 7th! We will be there, for a few days next time - I hope.
