VEGAS VACATION :-)

Hi Friends!

We got up and left Oxnard by late Sunday morning. The kids were very excited and Bill and I were ready for a vacation, too. We had a nice drive to Las Vegas and arrived on Sunday evening. I slept most of the way while we drove -- thanks to all my pain medications. We made a couple stops along the way. One for gas and snacks at lunchtimes, and then in the evening we stopped at a Greek restaurant for dinner.

By the time we checked into the MGM Grande last night, it was fairly late. We brought in all our stuff, unpacked everything, and the kids all tooks baths/showers and went to bed. Today Bill had to get up early for the convention, but the rest of us slept in. Bill brought us some breakfast foods in the morning, and later at noon we met him for lunch at the Food Court in the hotel. We split up with some of us eating at McDonald's and the others eating at a Pizza place.

After lunch, Bill went back to work. The kids and I went to check out the pool, and then we decided to spend the afternooon swimming. There are 3 pools here. The weather is very warm and the pool water feels as warm as bath water. There is a hot tub, too -- but it was too hot to spend much time in. They also have a lazy river here, but it is only open Fri-Sun. So, we're looking forward to trying it out then.

We made it back to our room by oabout 4 p.m. and got changed and cleaned up the room. When Bill came back from work at around 6 p.m., we went to eat dinner at the Buffet here in the MGM Grande. We've never stayed here before -- in the past we have stayed in the Flamingo and the Golden Nugget. Right now we are deciding what shows we'll be seeing during our stay. We are definitely going to see "Human Bodies" -- which should be really interesting. We also may see Ka as it's offered right here at our hotel. Anyway, we need to decide what we want to see, when we want to see it, and make reservations. So, I'm going to sign off and talk to Bill about that now! And then I'm off to bed as my meds are making me very tired:-(

More tomorrow...
Much Love,
Michele
