then came Vegas

We took a long weekend and went down to Vegas with the fam for Paul and Karolyn's wedding. We drove down with mom and Kelli. When we checked into the Condo at like 11 pm, the front desk guy asked if we were hitting up the strip that night. I think our answer was, "oh no, we're getting up early to play tennis". Which we did, by the way, and had a blast despite the heat! Riley and I went to the concierge to see if they had discount tickets to the New York New York roller coaster, she didn't. Instead she gave us some coupons and show brochures and then asked us, how adventurous we are, or something like that.It was weird. Then there were people in the hot tub at noon drinking coffee. It was so hot, I just don't understand!

Anyway, we ran into some Lions at the MGM grand. Hit up a pretzel stand in new York. Saw the Eiffel tower. Went to Rome. Watched a water show (which was one of my favorite parts of the strip). Went to Serendipity 3. Finally drank some frozen Hot Chocolate!! Bought a shirt at H&M. Ate at the Claimjumper. Walked through a sketchy casino. Had to convince Jake and Kelli that David Copperfield isn't magic... he's just an entertainer. (Jake, the duck was in the bucket the whole time. We watched it on youtube). Played tennis. Swam. Played with Graham. Listened to a crazy man bbq hamburgers by the pool. Went to the Las Vegas Temple for the wedding. Desperately called Mandy for driving instructions. Drove on the strip-it's SO crazy.  Hung out with the Family. Ran into some Russians from Riley's mission! All in all the trip was successful, but I think we've had enough of Las Vegas for a few years.
