More of Las Vegas






The weather in Las Vegas was perfect.  It was upper 90's all week and we enjoyed hanging out at the pool during the day.  Our hotel actually had about 5 pools, several spas, and a lazy river.  They played great music  and it was both fun and relaxing.  On Wednesday we took a break from the Strip.  We rented a Mustang convertible and drove through Red Rock Canyon.  All the amazing hotels in Las Vegas were dwarfed by the majesty and beauty of God's creation.  We hiked for about 3 hours.  On Thursday, Brian's birthday, we saw Cirque de Soleil's water show, O.  It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen and it was the highlight of the trip for me.  Friday night we met up with one of Brian's coworkers and his friends.  We went to a Comedy Club and laughed a lot.  Later that night, Brian and I went dancing.  On Saturday we traveled back to Illinois.  We had a wonderful vacation, but we were ready to come home to our children.  My parents watched them all week and it sounds like they had their own fun vacation with Grandma and Grandpa.  Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the kids and giving us this much-needed vacation!
