Viva Las Vegas
You'll note these first two pictures have nothing to do with Vegas ...Ken & Alice and Mark King came over for lunch on Sunday - Mark was ropped into reading books for awhile.
LAS VEGAS - So we all decided to go to work with Mike. He was flying out to Las Vegas with a 24 hour layover (how soon we forget what a redeye feels like!), so on Wednesday afternoon we packed up our bags and jumped on for a ride. The kids travelled like little troopers, catching catnaps here & there and riding on shuttle buses (much more exciting than an airplane!), and after an exceptionally smooth landing, we were there! Catching a short nights sleep, we headed off for the 'strip' to catch a glimpse of all the glitter, watching the not-so-rich try to win their fortune, sampling tasty pastries, and admiring the extravegant hotels. After the kids decided not to let mom & dad have a nap, we enjoyed a couple hours at the pool. Later in the evening it was back to the airport, and did it all in reverse... today we all took a nap! Yes it was short & sweet, but it's kinda fun hanging out with dad at 'work'.Our flight crew...
After a spill in the cockpit, it wasn't so exciting after all...
Our hotel suite... thankyou JetBlue! 
The atrium at the Bellagio...
Even the road was made out of flowers & plants 
...knowing my love for flowers, I had to take some more pics...
...it was beautiful!
...and a side trip to Paris...
An ice cream treat at FAO Swartz...
The limosine...
Trying hats on for size...
And at the poolside...
This didn't really turn out, but the neon view at take-off was pretty neat...
