Our weekend to Vegas!

Saturday morning we left for Vegas.  My Mom watched our little ones for 3 days.  We arrived around lunch and went to this restaurant called the Burger Bar.  It was good.   We met our friends there who were attending a Dental Convention.



 Our friends were staying at the Luxor and we went swimming here.  Forgot the camera in the room.  It was nice and relaxing to not chase kids.  We layed out and just visited.
 We were in the Mandalay Bay and walked past this.  If you watch the Bachelor this is where one of the dates were.  Ashley took a date and they bunggied down all the wine.
 We went to eat at this place called Red, White and Blue.  It was good.
 Sitting in the theater getting ready for the Lion king to start.  It was so good.  The animals and costumes were unbelievable.  It was very true to the movie. 

 We had to get a picture in front of the Las Vegas sign.
 Our friends, Lance and Kylee.  We knew each other from college.
 Big Bird was trying to earn some money by the Las Vegas sign.
 On Sunday we went to the Hoover Dam.  We thought it was a good Sunday activity.  It was good history to learn about.  Lance said he didn't want to go on the $30 dam tour.  Taylor started laughing.  I didn't get it at first.  It became our inside joke.
Hoover Dam

This is the new bridge built that bypasses driving over the dam.
 On our tour we went down in these caves under the dam.  It was pretty cool.  We got in an elevator and packed in people shoulder to shoulder.  If you are claustrophobic you would have screamed.
These are 8 generators that produce electricity for the city of Los Angeles.

I am glad you had fun and were able to spend some time without the kids. Glad you liked the Lion king and that you got to eat at some nice restaurants. You look really pretty.
