Vacation Day 1: The Strip

Well, we flew to Las Vegas for our family vacation last Sunday. Why Las Vegas? Didn't you know it's a very family-oriented place--not!! Actually there are family activities there if you look for them and we have some really good friends from college that live there and we wanted to visit them--also the plane tickets were cheaper to L.V. than to Phoenix which was our real reason for going on vacation in the first place--Shawn's sister Erin got married. (Love the long, run-on sentence??) Anyhow, we were in Las Vegas for two days, then drove to Mesa, were there for 2 1/2 days, then went back to Vegas and flew home. Here are the photo highlights of our first two days in Vegas.
The famous (or infamous) "strip"

Outside M&M World

Part of the incredible Bellagio Atrium (it changes with every season)--that is a real pumpkin!!!

My friend, Aimee, and I at the same garden atrium. Bellagio again--all real apples (we figured this would be a good pic for us Washingtonians)
The water show at the Bellagio--choreographed to "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "Time to Say Goodbye"--it was pretty incredible!
