Vegas trip...

Over the Martin Luther King weekend, we decided to take the kids to Vegas. It was a last hurrah before the baby comes. We just went down for the day and took some very crummy low light pictures. :) But hey, I wanted to get them on here before I forget.

We got some Wahoo's fish tacos. Then we drove up Las Vegas Boulevard and saw the famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign. Maxine commented that it was a lot smaller than she thought it would be. We explained that the sign is really old and at the time it was great.

First we went to the Bellagio (Merril and I love it there) and saw the Conservatory. It was decorated for Chinese New Year.

We watched the Bellagio fountain show.

Then we walked across the street to the Paris and went to the top of the Eiffel tower. Merril and I have been to the top of the Stratosphere a ton but never to the top of the Eiffel tower.

From the top of the Eiffel tower, we could look down at the Bellagio fountain show canons, which I thought was pretty groovy.

We stayed up there for the next show and Merril snagged this picture.

Then we met up with my sister, Jess, and her family for dinner. Then we went to Fremont Street to see the light show. Juliet was tired and cold by then so Merril drove around with Juliet while Maxine, Jack and I saw the show. We saw a very bendable man who could fit into a box, the light show and bought some balloon animals and a hot chocolate.

After that we drove home. It took me me 5 days to recover from all the walking. Merril was amazing and ran to get the car several times and had me sit and wait but I was still pretty beat up. I'm back to feeling good again and can't believe mere weeks separate us from a newborn infant.
