Vegas Baby 2009

We got the chance to go to Vegas this year, what an awesome time we had! Let's see if I can make a long story short! We stayed at our time share, The Grand View, the room was so nice that we did lots of cooking in. We did lots out too. We started out seeing the Shark Reef at the Mandalay Bay, went to the Titanic Exhibit in the Luxor, walked the strip of course, went to Italy to ride the romantic Gondolas, ate in Paris at the Eiffel Tower, went to New York New York and rode the roller coaster that wraps around the city, so cool!!! The water show at Bellagio was so beautiful!! We took the kids to Circus Circus and they had a great time riding all of the rides and playing games trying to win things, that was as close as they got to gambling!! We had dinner at the Tournament of the Kings, I've always wanted to do that, where the kings ride on horses, sword fighting in the ring right in front of you, there was a cool story line, Josh loved it and I rather enjoyed the handsome riders. Then we drove to see the Hoover Dam, did the "dam" tour, bought "dam" souvenirs, and saw the "dam" water :) ...very awesome learning the history. We continued on to the Grand Canyon, we chose to go to the western rim rather than the Southern rim, which is owned by the Hualapia Nation Native Americans. The southern rim is owned by the US government. Let's just say this, the western rim did not have one rail between us and the 6,000 foot drop off! Naji, Josh, and Anni sat on the very edge dangling their feet, as I stood back and cried, so scary! Even Naji said he was dizzy and scared! Our grand finale was going to a Cirque Du Soleil, we watched Chris Angel, he was phenomenal! Click here to see our video and here to see pictures!
