Las Vegas trip

Two days after Christmas, my man, kiddos and I packed up a few suitcases and headed to Vegas. Justin had about 2 hours of work to do for a customer but because it was only a few hours away, we made it a mini family vacation.

We decided to stay off of the strip because we didn't want to subject out kiddos to all things strippers and seedy :) Instead, we stayed at a hotel a couple miles from the strip. The selling features were the continental breakfast (Justin's fave- weird I know) and an indoor pool and spa... a MUST in December!






We spent massive amounts of time in the pool because that's what the kids wanted to do.




But we also did some fun kiddo-themed things while not in the pool.









Like the M&M shop, where all three got to choose a small sample of any colored M&M's they wanted:




We also visited the Coca Cola store:


and bought a sampler tray, testing all of the different kinds of Coke products from around the world.

Some samples were tasty...


some were not :)






We also went to the Springs Preserve.  This place was sooo stinkin' cool. They had interactive science and nature exhibits, botanical gardens, hiking trails, a train tour, a Mad Science program, and lots of live animal shows. 





















And on our last day, we did what we do best... eat ice cream. Gelato to be exact and it was heavenly.



We had a great little vacation. Lots of special memories were made and we all hope daddy has another work site to visit soon. Maybe in Hawaii next time, haha :)
