What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...

Of course, nothing crazy happened in Vegas...just stayed at a great hotel, dined at great restaurants, took some fun walks to see sites, did a little shopping, and enjoyed time with family...

When Joel & Hye-Young were here for Thanksgiving, they mentioned they were taking a weekend getaway trip to Vegas in December just for fun.   They asked if we wanted to join them, and we said sure!  I have never been there, and Addie obviously has not either (we realize it's not really a popular place to take a toddler).  Patrick has been there a few times on work trips but for very brief periods of time.  I must say, it's quite an interesting place to visit!  We had a great time with Joel & Hye-Young.  Adeline was an awesome little traveler and just went with the flow so we were quite proud of her.

"Uncle Joel" & "Auntie Hye-Young" are on the top 10 most frequently used words by Addie after spending the weekend with them...

Happy First Anniversary Joel & Hye-Young!

 Patrick took his girls to Paris (that is, the Paris Hotel, in Vegas)...

This is the view out our window!  It is a beautiful hotel!

Daddy and Adeline dancing to some tunes in the hotel room - He's a pretty wonderful dad, if I may say so!  How many dads dance with their 2 year old daughters on a bed in a hotel room and has fun doing it?!

Across the street from our hotel is the famous Bellagio and every night, they have a beautiful water show!

The Bellagio had an impressive Christmas display inside on their main floor!

From time to time, Patrick catches an episode of "Pawn Stars" on cable TV.  It's about people who come into this Vegas pawn shop to either sell or buy very unique and interesting things.  Since we were in Vegas, we went and checked it out.

We tried many different great restaurants while we were there.  If you ever get to Vegas, try out "Spago."  It's a great place to eat!
