Vegas!!

We just got back from a wonderful 6 days in Las Vegas. On June 4th, Denise, Ron, Jeremy, Camryn and I flew to Vegas. Levi had to work that night so he flew out the next morning. The plane ride wasn't too bad. I asked the man that was sitting next to us to switch seats with Ron. He was more than happy to do so. It definitely helped that we sat next to Ron. Camryn loves Ron so much. When we arrived in Vegas the weather was odd. One minute it would be sunny and the next it would be raining or cloudy and really windy. Luckily it was only like that the first day. The next day we all went to the pool. They have a very big pool that was a little cold(it was fine once you were in it)then they had a waiting pool that was nice and warm and only one foot deep. Perfect for Camryn.

Levi's plane was delayed an hour so he arrived around 4. We left the condo at 5:15 to go to Caesars Palace for dinner. Denise had a gift cert to Mesa Grill. It's owned by Chef Bobby Flay. We were all so excited to go. Traffic was awful on the Strip. We were finally a couple blocks away when Ron took a wrong turn. Our reservations were at 6:15 and we knew there was no way we would make it in time. Denise called and was able to move our reservations to 6:45. The Mesa Grill is amazing. It was the best food I've ever had.

The next day we just relaxed. Went swimming or layed by the pool. Friday night, Denise, Jeremy and Levi went to see Elton John. Ron, Camryn and I went to the Hard Rock Cafe. On Saturday, Levi and I wanted to walk the Strip. We started at Treasure Island and got picked up at The Luxor. It was hot but it was something we both wanted to do. We mostly took pictures. We went into 2 casinos. The Mirage and The Bellagio. I really wanted to gamble in the Bellagio I didn't care that I lost $20. Levi had to leave Sunday so he would be back to work on Monday. Ron and Jeremy went golfing almost every moring. While they were golfing on sunday, Denise, Camryn and I took a shuttle to the Strip. I really wanted to go to Madame Tussauds. She had never been there before. I have been to the one in London. It was fun. I got my picture taken with Johnny Depp, Michael Jackson, Hugh Hefner, Lucille Ball and JFK and Jackio O. Denise got her picture taken with Arnold S, Sylvester Stallone, Elton John and Princess Diana. We tried to walk to the M&M store but it was too far. We had to get back to the shuttle. Later that day, Ron took us to Ethel M's Chocolate Factory. It was Sun so they weren't making chocolate but we bought some. My favorite was the PB&J. It was so good. Monday was already here. The day we leave. We had a late flight so we still had all day.

Early in the day we went to Fremont Street. It's a great place to buy souviners. Then we went swimming one last time before we left. Our plane was delayed 40 mins. Not good when you are traveling with a 20 month old. We ate dinner then we spent about 25 mins on the moving walkway. lol Camryn loved it. Finally we got on the plane. I was praying that no one would sit next to us. That way we would have more space. YES!! The plane was pretty much full but no one sat next to us. I was so happy. Camryn sat a little bit in the seat but she kept going back and forth between my lap and the seat. She was pretty good the first hour. She watched Little Einsteins on the dvd player. Everytime they turned off the lights she freaked out. The last 40 mins was awful. She was soooo tired. Our plane landed at 12:30am. We finally got home at 2am. Feels good to be home but it's freezing.
