Weekend Wrap Up...

I had some time last night after we came home from our amazing weekend to summarize the trip in my Fauxbonichi.

Las Vegas used to be a playground for adults and it still is. But there are so many things appropriate for kids, especially for teens. We have taken the kids to Vegas a few times and they love it there. We've probably have seen all the magic shows there! This time, we got to see Mat Franco, who won Season 9 of America's Got Talent. He is an amazing showman. The magic is not glitzy like illusionist, Chris Angel, but Mat's interaction with the audience makes him more fun.

We've done the CSI Experience at MGM before and this time, my older two did the Slotzilla (zip line) in downtown LV. There is also Circus Circus for rides and games. 

There are lots of shows appropriate for families with older children. We saw Jeff Dunham (lots of f-bomb and some sexual references), but only a couple of cringe-worthy moments. And if you don't mind the hefty prices, there are Curque shoes. We have now seen Mystere and O.

Here are pages from my Fauxbonichi about this weekend!

It was hard to get the kids up for school this morning after a mini-vacation. But for me, it was great to get back into my daily routine. The first picture you see above is part of my daily page from today. Have a great Monday!

Vegas, Part 2

We had a great first day yesterday. We had lunch at a Japanese Shabu Shabu restaurant that we discovered the last time we came here.

I love sukiyaki! We do this at home sometimes but the sukiyaki sauce has lots of sugar so it's a once-in-awhile meal for us!

We are staying at Harrah's. I'm not sure what's happening in Vegas this weekend but most hotels were booked or too pricey. It's not too bad, we got a suite so plenty of room for us.

We went to the Linq to ride the High Roller and to have a snack.. The Jeff Dunham show was really fun, though it was R-rated rather than PG-13.. It was fun.

Today, we are going to see Matt Franco and then "O"! We saw Mystere the last time we were here so I'm really excited to see it! Another adventure awaits!
