Fabulous Las Vegas!

This past weekend Mike and I went to Las Vegas with Mike's family. We were going just for fun and sort of for Mike's Dad's family reunion. He said we had to stay just long enough to be seen. We ended up staying for a few hours, it was held at a park in Henderson. It was a nice sunny day (Saturday) but had a cold breeze. As things were wrapping up there was some people trying to tie some rope from one tree to another to make like a tight rope. They were having a hard time getting it tight enough and asked for some of our help. Here is Mike's brother, Braden, taking a turn walking across it.



Then it was off to In & Out burger. MMmmm. It's so yummy!


This is the car Mike's dad rented to drive to Vegas. Its a Chrysler 300M i believe. It has a huge trunk. It looks like a mafia car, which have big trunks for all the dead bodies! But ours just had luggage. The downside to this car was that the back seat wasn't awesomely huge. I had to sit in the middle, it had a hump on the floor in the middle so i couldn't even put my legs down, I had to put one on Mike's side and one on Braden's side. It was pretty uncomfortable! Fortunately, i took some non-drowsy Dramamine and read nearly the entire way which certainly helped pass the time.


We went to see 'Ka' at MGM Grand which is a show, sort of like Circus Ole. It was pretty good. The MGM Grand has a Lion Habitat which is pretty cool too. You can walk right under a tunnel-like thing that they lay on top of. It was really cool to get to see them that close.




Our show wasn't until 930pm so we decided to walk the strip for a bit before the show. I never get tired of seeing the water show at the Belagio. I think we stayed and watched 3 songs. It just makes you feel so peaceful, or something!
I just love it!





Sunday we went to the pool at our hotel (The Hilton) although it was too cold to swim or even lay out so we just hung out in the hot tub. Then we left to make our way home and stopped in St George. And had to have one more stop at In & Out! (You cant really ever have enough!)


This is Mike's Dad! He was excited about In & Out too!

Sounds like you had a good weekend. We are jealous that you went to In and Out twice. I need to go some where and enjoy the sun
