Vegas!






We had a really fun time in Vegas for Valentines weekend. We stayed at Tahiti Village and really had a great time. We have always said that for our ten year anniversary we would love to travel to Tahiti, so this was a fun trip to get us excited for the next five years together, and hopefully we will be rich and famous enough by the time we have been together for ten years to go to the real Tahiti. Originally we planned to just go as a couple but Dolce is still nursing and we didn't want to leave Mckinley out of the fun. So we all went.
As soon as we got there, Mckinley wanted to go swimming, but the pools have seasonal hours and closed at 4:30 so we had to settle for the hot tub on the first day. Even Dolce loved putting her feet in the hot tub. After hot tubbing for at least an hour, we were getting hungry and so we went to dinner. We don't know Las Vegas very well so we ate at the hotel's resturant Tahiti Joes.
When we got back to our room, we watched the Vancouver Olympic Opening Ceremonies on TV. Mckinley was so excited about her special little bed at the Hotel.(it reminded me of how much my sister and I loved going and staying at Hotels when we were younger. Just like Mckinley, we especially loved the little shampoo and lotion bottles and small sized soaps...such treasures!)
On our Honeymoon night, David and I stayed at the Little America. And one fun memory was that they left chocolate covered strawberries for us in the suite. So, on the way to Las Vegas, we picked up some Chocolate covered Strawberries and ate them in our room for dessert.
We all went to bed, but woke up at 4am when Mckinley jumped up crying and ran out the door of our room screaming for me. She didn't get far because we heard her leave and were right behind her. (I know. Very Scary.) She has done this before at home and we actually think she might be sleep walking when this happens. We talked to her about it the next morning and she said that she had a dream that we were leaving her. This made my heart break. If anyone knows of any tips for sleep walking we would love to hear.
The next morning, David went and got Dunkin Donuts and hot chocolate for Breakfast. Yummy! And we got down to business playing in the pools. It was actually warmer in the pool than out, and I was pleasantly surprised that Mckinley stayed and played in the pool for so long. She loved it. (Although she didn't really love the Lazy river because of the waterfall and water sprayed her in the face.)
After getting our fill of swimming, we went all over Las Vegas looking for an Einstein Brothers Bagels. We were not going home until we found one. Success! We don't know how to find it again, but it was worth turning Vegas inside out and upside down to take home a dozen bagels. It was a really fun getaway! We love little family trips!
