We went to marry off my brother-in-law. It was a wonderful trip despite the fact we had very little (make that zero) time to sight see. But I did manage to catch a few photos of the Las Vegas Strip our first drive in.
Isabella was the flower girl, Jaxson was supposed to be the ring bearer but he decided to be his full 2 and half year old self instead. He spent the wedding strapped in his stroller eating fruit snacks. But he looked snazzy and had a good time later :)
My biggest worry was how the kids would do on the two and half hour plane ride. We had to drive 4 four hours to the airport first (to ensure we wouldn't have plane changes) But they did outstanding!!!! I have to say it was waaaayyyy easier than I has imagined. I wish I could have those hours (days) back that I worried and fretted!
Props to the airlines for letting families board first. That way you have time to get them settled and comfy.
Hubby and i are now discussing a return trip. We now know the following insider tips...do not stay at a hotel with a casino, if you have to, use valet parking. Take the back roads off the strip...going down the strip takes FOREVER. And we have a list of places we know we want to see next time. Some of them being erased after the one glance as we glided slowly by the first time....
Here are a few pics....
This is where we stayed...sigh...grandparents picked it out. It was fun for the kids. Circus, Adventure dome and magic shows...but we had to go through 2 main casinos and ride 2 elevators to get to our room.
Room with a view :)
I will post more on the trip another day. Hope you all had a great weekend and it is good to be back in blogland!!
