Vegas Never Gets Old

Before Carter was born I'd only been to Las Vegas 3 times. Since he's been born we've gone every year. I've had people tell me that they don't think it's kid friendly, but I'd disagree. If you are walking the strip at 2am then yes, you are probably going to see/hear/smell some unpleasant things. However, during the day we find a lot to do and in the evening we enjoyed bowling and swimming at our hotel. For us it's a close and affordable little getaway and  we always have a great time!

 It was our first time seeing the M&M store - - all 4 stories of it!

We went on the High Roller Ferris Wheel (the tallest in the world!!)

(Btw, Carter isn't hurt. He just decided that he wanted to start wearing band aids for a little flare I suppose.)

Carter was so unbelievably cute bowling. He lifted, carried and rolled the 8 lb ball all by himself. His enthusiasm must have stood out because he soon had the 3 lanes next to us cheering him on...and he loved every second of it!

Another awesome trip!

Palm Springs Vacation 2014

For Spring Break we decided to take a little trip to Palm Springs. We ate at some really great restaurants, did a bit of swimming and relaxing by the pool and also some sight seeing. We needed at least one more day there I think, but now we'll have more things left to do next time we go.

We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel which was decorated pretty neat. There were paintings, photographs and memorabilia of musicians throughout. Each room was also named after an album (we were in a Rod Stewart room and a Doobie Brothers room). I loved all of the bright colors!

At dinner the first night we saw Katherine Helmond (Mona from "Who's the Boss" and later Debra's mom on "Everybody Loves Raymond.") She couldn't smile enough at Carter!

Looking like a little model :)

We spent most of Wednesday at the Palm Springs Air Museum. I highly recommend going! The museum is huge and you can easily spend a few hours there.  

All of the docents are WWII veterans and they are a plethora of information!

Carter enjoyed a little drawing in the "kid zone." And so did Yia Yia :)

We are a crazy group, but I cherish every moment with all of them! Each person adds a piece to my life and I wouldn't be who I am if not for them.
