Things I learned in Vegas

1. Even though it took 4 and 1/2 hours to get there, it can take 6 hours to get home!!


2. When you walk down the strip with three kids, you don't get handed as many flyers with naked people on them...although you still see random guys holding snakes.


3. If you're going to drop $30 playing carnival games, you're going to win some prizes.
(I think each kid got 3 stuffed animals)


4. Swimming in 72 degree weather is fine, but when it's WINDY you NEED a heated pool--thank goodness we had one:)


5. Staying at a castle is quite exciting, even if it is a casino.


6. The girls LOVE water slides!


7. The Tournament of Kings is a great show...and who knew they had straws in medieval times?


8. Spending time together as a family is awesome!!

Looks like you guys had a great time! I would love that water slide too!

The rule is don't drive to Vegas from California on Friday and if you have to go back on Sunday do it before check out time. That way it is only a 5 hour drive.

I loved seeing the pictures--your trip looked like so much fun! Who would have thought you could learn so much in Vegas? :)

Jessica said...

I'm jealous. That's where we're from and seeing pictures makes me miss my family.

Where were the water slides? Is Wet n Wild open again or was that somewhere else?

Glad you had a good family trip. We miss you guys.

Great pictures! Sounds like a fun family get-away. I had no idea Vegas could be so educational!
Miss you and you look really good!

It looks like you had a good time. Las Vegas can be fun without the gambling. I'll tell you though you wouldn't catch me anywhere near that snake:0( You have some brave children.
