Going to Las Vegas

Mike and I briefly talked about how cool it would be to be able to go somewhere during our break. We talked about it was if we were really going to go. It was two days before that Mike asked me, "What if I could make it happen?" Well of course I got super excited and thought about all the things that we would need to do. I suggested that we could go camping or do something that wasn't so far away and that wasn't so expensive. He then commented on that this is our opportunity to do things before parenthood. I agreed and off we went. Mike drove almost the entire way except for when the weather decided to turn and it was snowing really hard. It was so bad that we couldn't see anything in front of us and had no idea where the road was. Mike happened to sleeping waking suddenly and jerking the car off the road to help prevent someone running into us. Oh. I almost forgot...there was another incident where I was also driving. Apparently I was going to fast for what the car could handle over the hills and bumps and stuff. I almost overheated the car and we were stuck for some time. Eventually the car started, we took it easy, and found the next gas station. All it needed was some water and oil.

While in Las Vegas we did a lot of sight seeing. We stopped at almost all the free shows. We ate at a hotel buffet and the best breakfast we found was on the outskirts of town in a bar. We stopped there before going home. On of the rememberable tourist attraction was observing the rides on top of a tower thing. I can't remember the hotel it's on top of or what it's called. But that was my favorite.
