Viva Las Vegas


Dave, Nate and I went to Vegas last week for a bike conference. We had a great time seeing the sights.... (this view's via sunroof...nice!)

We rode the train between Treasure Island and Mirage about 4 times without getting off since Nate was actually sitting still and having fun (and Dave too).
At Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat, Nate loved matching up the animals to the brochure. We saw rare lions and tigers and got up close to some dolphins. The white lions are in a very deep sleep here....I think they just had a big lunch.
zzzzzzz, another big lunch.
Some of the animals looked like they wanted to eat us, haha. I think I would have a heart attack if I saw one of these in real life. They are gigantic!

Beautiful Bottlenose Dolphins.

Nate and I ventured out to Red Rocks Canyon one morning. They have a great interpretive center with views looking out to the canyon. I can't wait to go back and do some of the hikes.




Only in Vegas
Our hotel had lots of games, so we spent some time here to entertain Nate... and we didn't even have to put any money in!

The best show I've ever seen (last trip)... Beatles Love. We had to go back to let Nate run around on the color changing floor.

Nate had a great time in Vegas. We sure did get our exercise following him around. The bike conference was great... endless vendors with thousands of ideas for business inspiration and connections. Dave and I even got a break from everything.... we found a childcare and got a night out in the Palms hotel. I wish I had gotten some pictures because the views from this hotel were amazing! Back to reality now... no trips for a while.... although, I'm kind of used to being on the road and could do it again soon!

  1. Looks like you had such a fun time. What a lucky guy Nathan is to have parents like you who show him how to have a good time, even without putting tokens/quarters in the video games! Ha Ha! And I love how you find all of the adventures, like the tigers and lions and lights and Red Rock! Love to you all.
