Vegas Vacation Day 1


This year we found an amazing deal on a condo in Vegas. (Thanks Grandpa) We ran into a little dilema since the boys basketball team decided to be AMAZING and go to the state tournament. Monica was cheering on Friday night and then on Saturday (if they won on Friday)..... so, the master plan was to wait for her to get home on Saturday, if they lost, and go without her, if they won. Sounds not very family 'oriented' when you put it that way. Lucky for her, we were going to leave Jared at home to bring her down when she finally did get home.

The basketball team was amazing and won their game on Friday night. The state championship game would then be at 8:45 pm on Saturday night. No way she was going to get home - so the boys and I took off Saturday early afternoon. Of course it was a REALLY long trip with Ryker asking every five minutes, "When are we going to be there?"

When we got to Vegas we found our condo was amazing. The first not so amazing thing was having to lug everything upstairs without my hunky husband. At least I had Jaxon to help be my luggage carrier! I think we brought everything except the kitchen sink. Luckily it was already here! We are also conveniently located next to every fast food place possible! We spent the evening plotting out all the amazing food places that we were going to eat.

The kids thought the place was amazing and at 9:30 (Vegas time), we had a nice visit from the security officer, telling us that we were being too loud (walking/running around too much). The sad part of all of this, they were actually being good. I think the extra noise came from us getting in and out of the kitchen chairs which made a nice rubbing sound on the tile floor. Apparently, 9:30 is late. Everyone was pretty tired so they went to be without too much complaining! :) Darn bottom neighbors.....
