Andy's bosses took a bunch of his coworkers to Las Vegas
this past weekend. It was so fun! We got there Saturday night and went to check
in at the Aria. It is this huge hotel and casino. When we went to check in, I
guess we were booked for a "smoking optional" room. That wasn't going
to work for us. The girl at the front desk put us in a non-smoking room because
she saw Emma. (That is just one of the MANY perks of having her around.) They
didn't have any regular non-smoking rooms available, so they upgraded us to
this suite on the 55th floor. It was amazing! We had a beautiful view of the
city, a heated toilet seat, two T.V.s, and a remote for the lights and
curtains.
We just stayed until Monday morning, but we tried to fit in
as much as possible. Andy's managers took all the workers to a buffet for
breakfast. We went to the Bellagio to see the garden thing where everything is
made of flowers. Then we went to see an exhibit of real Monet paintings (Do we
sound fancy?). We went and saw the Las Vegas Temple. Then we got some frozen
hot chocolate at a place called Serendipity 3. Then Emma had a meltdown. We
tried to fit in as much as possible and didn't fit in a nap for Emma. Bad
choice. We spent the rest of the night hanging out in our room watching TLC and
eating dinner.
Then we got up at five thirty to head back. Emma was amazing
both flights and hardly cried. I was pretty scared to fly with her, but she
slept almost the entire time. Poor Andy had to go straight to work, but he is
pretty tough.
