Vegas Part 2

Since we had time left with our Timeshare, we decided to make a quick trip down to Vegas and enjoy the last of the warm weather before it got too cold. So on Friday I was able to get off work early, but we ended up still leaving late. Mom decided to hitch a ride with us and so here we headed to Sin City itself. We arrived to Tahiti Village about one o'clock in the morning. Once we got into our room the kids were wide awake and didn't want to go to sleep, but we made them anyway.

Saturday we got up, ate breakfast and headed to the pool and lazy river.

Mom and the kids decided to build a sand pool. Jack found a bucket and brought back and forth water to fill up the sand pool. After spending some time at the pool we headed to the lazy river. We forgot their puddle jumpers so we headed to the gift shop and bought them arm floaties. Abi wore them, but once we took them off she was done with them. Jack on the other hand LOVED them and swam around the pool.

About lunch time we headed back to the room, Jeremy adventured out to pick up some burgers. After lunch we tried to have the kids lay down for a nap, however that wasn't in their cards; Jeremy on the other hand fell right too sleep. So Mom, the kids and myself all headed back to the pool while Jeremy slept.

 

Once being done with swimming we headed back to the room where we got ready to go eat dinner. I apologize for not photos, my phone fell on the floor of the car and I forgot about it. We headed to the strip and went to eat at Hash House a GoGo. DeLiCiOuS! The serving sizes are huge and its just a fun atmosphere. We ate at Imperial Palace which was under construction, but we found it none the less and hand fun. After dinner we were so tired we headed back to the room to go to sleep.

 

Sunday we decided to head to the Bellagio for their Brunch. As we entered the hotel they had changed their gardens, it was amazing.

After we walked through the decorated gardens we headed to the Buffet for Brunch. The line wasn't too bad and we made it before it got way longer. After getting our booth mom and I headed to get the kids something to eat. From eggs, pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs benedict, fruit, rolls, sushi, crepes, sasage, waffles, shrimp and finally prime rib. Out of all the buffets in Vegas I would have to say the Bellagio is the best. We will have to make it a tradition when we go down there.

 

Once we were full from our brunch we decided to take a drive to Hoover Dam and see the bridge they built across the ravene.

First we decided to be brave and drive across the bridge. As we were in the middle of it we realized there was nothing to be brave about since you really coudn't notice you were in the middle of a ravene. So we turned around and headed back to go near the Dam. As we drove the winding way towards the dam we noticed there was a parking area to walk up to the bridge so you can walk across it. That is just what we did. It was pretty cool to walk across this bridge and read the history and information behind this built bridge.

 

We then headed back to Tahiti Village to continue to swim since it would be our last day. Mom stayed behind to only find out she walked over to the outlet mall that is next to our timeshare, while she was doing that we swam in the pool. Jack and Jeremy headed to the lazy river. Around 6:30 pm they got ready to view a movie in the pool "The Lorax."

 

While we waited for the movie to begin, Jeremy suprised me with a Strawberry Daquiri. Delicious! We sat by the pool even got in the pool while we watched the move. Once the movie was over we headed back to the room to get ready for bed.

 

We headed home around nine in the morning once we got everything packed. We stopped in St George for lunch and to get some wiggles out at the park.

 

We finally made it home about seven. Finally unpacked, ready for bed, we got our rest for the next day.

 

We had so much fun. Although it was a really quick trip, it was much needed and can't wait for our next family trip.
