After checking out the gifts and treats we got ready to head to Vegas. My children didn't remember "the strip" so I told them I would take them and check it out. It has been years since I was there~ alot has changed and a lot is the same. I was shocked by how much more crap is thrown out there as you walk down the street. I kept telling my kids..."don't look down" because there were tons of disgusting photos laying on the ground..in the middle of the day. We did visit the M&M store, walked down to Treasure Island, and had plenty of photo ops. You gotta love this guy in our picture~we asked his wife to take our picture and he jumped right in the photo next to Tamara and then asked his wife to take a picture with his camera of all of us!
Bonjour~Charissa's dream is to someday travel to Paris~she is learning a lot in her French class!
After taking the long walk down the strip we caught the bus back to the MGM~As soon as we got on the double decker bus the kids headed up the stairs and a couple young men jumped up and offered us their seats. It was so nice! They asked where we were from...probably thinking we were crazy to have our kids on the strip...and we looked at them and said in unison "Utah" ~it is so funny how you can always get the same reaction out of people..."oh Utah" (with a little chuckle) and then of course comes the "oh yeah-the Utah Jazz." The guys says "We're Laker fans" and luckily I was able to laugh and come back with "OHHH who won the game the other night?" Hee Hee We all laughed~It was funny! Tamara and I got to laughing thinking that he was probably wondering where "our" Husband was~especially with all those kids! He was a nice guy even when others around him were cussing he would yell out "children" respecting the fact that the kids were within ear shot~very cool!
