Well onto the Vegas trip. It was great to get a change of scenery. Lucas was so good! It's amazing how adaptable kids are. Plus he loved having his Grandma, Pop and Auntie Lexie around all the time.
The flight there was good. Lucas slept for most of it, on his tummy over Darryl and my laps. It was good for him, but our bum was pretty sore after. At the time share we stayed in a place called the "cottage". It was a seperate building all to itself, which I was grateful for incase Lucas cried. But he didn't really.
On Sunday when we got there we headed out to Target in the morning. I quite like Target. I got some great stuff although not the Taggies I was looking for. Then we went to Applebee's for lunch and it was delicious. I highly recommend that place. That night we took Darryl out to the strip for the first time. He said he was surprised at how big the hotels were, but how they could be so far apart. We also watched the Bellagio fountains we are incredible.
On Monday we went to the Paris Buffet for breakfast. It was so so good. Even Dad was impressed with the pariesen food. I had a plate of lamb, veal and scallops. It was great. I would totally recommend that buffet. After that we toured around the Paris and Aladdin Casinos. Then headed home for a little relaxing and so Lucas could nap. That night Mom and Dad went out to gamble.
Tuesday Lucas took a long nap, so for lunch we went to the Aladdin buffet (don't really recommend that) and then went and tour around the casinos at the other end of the strip, Venetian, Treasure Island, the Mirage. At the buffet we let Lucas try gucamole and he did not like it. It was the worst reaction I'd ever seen from him. Defintly a horrible face and then he gagged. The worst part was I didn't really have anything for him to wash it down with execpt ice water and he was not happy with that either. Very cold on his new teeth. We also did more shopping. I bought Lucas these pants from a store called "cheeky". I thought it was quite cute. It was fun to go to the Venetian and the Paris hotels because it took Darryl and I back to last spring when we were able to experience those things first hand.
Wednesday we went to Hoover Dam. Which is cool even though I'm scared of heights. We went on a tour and learned lots. Although I was not very impressed with our tour guide. The granola side of me wanted to know what enviromental impact the dam had. He blew my question off, saying the dam was the greatest. Later after speaking to others on the tour and reading signs I learned that there was minimal impact to the enviroment. Lake Mead which is on one side of the dam, did flood a community, but they moved everyone out before it was a problem. There has also been some impact on certain types of fish, but they are currently breeding these fish and putting them into the lakes. Anyway the granola Jenn was not impressed with our tour guide. I had Lucas on my back the whole time so the back carrier was defintly a good investment.
Thursday we went to the Bellagio for the buffet, which is also a good one. I would recommend the Paris and Bellagio buffets not the Aladdin or Luxor ones. Lucas was being quite loud while we were there. Not crying, but had lots to say and was not doing it quietly. He was also doing this funny thing that everytime I put some applesauce in his mouth he would dab his lip to get off the excess. We had a good laugh over that. Even with the loudness most people were quite happy to see Lucas. Even on the plane on the way home the woman was very receptive to sitting beside a baby. Plus he would give smiles to anyone who smiled at him. That night Darryl, Lex and I all went to a posh restaurant for dinner. While Darryl and I both ordered the 5 course meal (which surprised the waiter) Lexie ordered the cheese pizza. Although Lexie was great pronoucing the Italian words. The food was delicious. That place was called Circo, in the Bellagio.
Friday we headed to Lexie's favorite TGI Fridays, which was good, but not as good as Applebee's. Then out to Red Rock Canyon, where we did a small hike.
K, Lucas is getting fussy, I'll finish this tommorrow
Till Tommorrow
