Las Vegas

So we left Ogden, Utah on Thursday morning to start our 7 hour drive to Las Vegas, which after this vacation seemed like a short drive. This also happened to be A's birthday so this was going to be a fun day, we hoped. We got on the road and it went well pretty much the whole drive. We got into Vegas and hit traffic right away but were able to get to our hotel around 3:00 in the afternoon. A was so excited because we were staying in the Excalibur so we got to stay in a castle for her birthday. We checked into the room and the first thing she said was "This is Princess A's bed." I think it was the cutest thing she has ever said. After we were settled in the hotel we went out to dinner at The Rainforest Cafe. We were there for about twenty minutes when the rainstorm starting going off and A started histarically crying and got so upset she threw up. Needless to say we left and took her back to the room for a little bit. She calmed down enough so that we could drive Ch to his hotel to meet the rest of the guys for the bachelor party that we were there for. We walked him in and said hi to the guys and then A and I went off for our girls weekend.
The next morning we decided to take the tram (aka black train) to Mandalay Bay to go see the Shark Reef. A loved pointing out all the fishes and alligators that she could find. She was scared of the sharks at first but ended up really liking them. After the shark reef we came back to take a nap and relax a little bit. A and I had an early dinner than went downstairs to play some arcade games. Well A picked this one game and put in her quarter and ended up winning 650 tickets. So it looks like A was luckier than any of us this weekend. She got lots of prizes along with her princess hat that Ch and I bought her for her birthday. She was so excited to have all her tickets and felt like a big girl when she was able to pick out her own prizes. A and I went back up to the room and called it a night.
On Saturday we moved into the hotel with Ch so we could be closer to him. The entire day we spent at the pool. It was so nice because it was a beach pool with sand and low water so it was perfect for A. I don't think I have ever seen A play for that many hours in a row before. It was so nice just to sit and relax after being gone for two weeks.
On Sunday we had to get up early and get back on the road. It was very sad that our vacation was coming to a close but it was going to be nice to get back home. So we got on the road and finally got home around two in the afternoon and collapsed on the couch. It was so nice to be back home and relax and grandma and grandpa were so excited to see her after being gone so long. We did not relax for long because two days later we moved into my parents house for ten days...
