Las Vegas!

My mother-in-law very graciously took us to Las Vegas on a relaxing vacation without kids a couple weeks ago, It was awesome. Lee has been SO busy lately and that means i've been taking on most of the responsibilities at home so we were both SO ready for a vacation to refresh.

My mom took the kids for the week which they loved. Apparently in my mom's words, they were PERFECT angels and there wasn't one temper tantrum all week.... (not sure how much candy was involved to make that happen).

We did a tonne of fun stuff in Vegas. We went to the Blue Man Group, which was the most bizarre show i've ever been too, but hilarious. The whole audience got toilet papered, and the 3 rows in front of us were all wearing rain ponchos from the water that would sporadically get sprayed. After the show some of them came out for pictures.

The next morning we went on an ATV tour around the red rock canyons, it was so pretty. It was a 3 hour ride, and they provided lunch for us and water. I was the only girl in the faster group that went. It was different to quad on red sand, and loose rocks. Carole went with one of the guides on the side by side quads which she enjoyed.

We also went to The Lion King Musical, which was SOOO neat. I could go watch that show over and over again. The actors who played each character fit so well, and the way they were able to portray each animal, was so fun to watch.



We stayed at The Golden Nugget while we were there, it is just off the strip. We had a really nice room on the 17th floor, Carole had a room next to us. The pool had a shark tank in the middle which was neat, with a waterslide going through it.

There was a TV screen in the middle of our mirror in the bathroom, kinda odd but cool.



We also did lots of shopping, eating, I played on some slot machines, and slept and relaxed and looked around. We went to the strip one evening and went and saw the pirate ship sink, the volcano erupt, and the Bellagio fountains.
