E and I took off for a short vacation to Las Vegas last weekend - kidless! My Mom graciously agreed to come and stay with tweedle dee and tweedle dum. - (which can be a lot to ask these days...but she survived and even said she would do it again - next week right Mom???!!)
We really had a good time - but came to realize that Las Vegas isn't really the place you go to relax...we came home needing a vacation from our vacation. We spent our first day touring the outrageous hotels - Paris was one of our stops....but it pailed in comparison to the real thing - I still dream of the day of having a "real" pan au chocolate again!
I think by far one of my favorite stops was at the Bellagio conservatory.....hence where most of our pictures were taken.
It sure made you think spring.....and while the temps were in the high 80's this day...they were enjoying snow back home.
And of course I had to take a picture of this chocolate fountain - it's about double the size of this and actually coming out of the ceiling - but my camera couldn't capture the whole thing.
And what trip would be complete without a trip to the Hoover Dam - especially when you are married to an EE - it was actually quite interesting to see....
You can see from this picture - how low the lake is.
And this is the start of the new bridge that will cross the river....pretty amazing to see the construction of it.
