There are some good things about the strip

Getting to them is difficult without nearly scarring your children for life -- but we are learning to play the "look straight ahead" game -- no looking up or down.:)  Kind of the "keep your eye on the prize" idea?:)
 Our friends, The Ringlers, stopped through last Saturday night on their way to Disneyland.  We were so glad to have them.  We all lost a couple of pounds walking as fast as we could up and down the strip and I think poor Morgan almost died of smoke inhalation -- but we introduced them to the dirtiest city in the world and we all lived through it -- almost.:)
 We were so glad they could come see us for a few hours -- what fun!!
 Even though this is a quick stop in the Bellagio -- it's pretty darn cool.
 This woman is made of ALL chocolate!  I didn't used to love chocolate but the older I get, the better it tastes.:)
 Of course, the Eiffel tower.  Philip and I decided we need to eat in that Restaurant at least once while we live here.


Even though these aren't great photos -- I love the water show at the Bellagio.  With good weather, I think I could sit and watch it for hours!

We were in Vegas for Christmas and I had a hard time deciding if I wanted to take my kids to the strip to see the fountains and the volcano we did and was glad they loved it! I love the Belagio fountains with the Christmas music I swear they go higher with the Christmas music!

Am I the only one who cries at the Bellagio fountains? I've only been there twice with the Eborns but each time I tear up...it is just emotional for me to hear the music and water choreographed...it's so beautiful and inspiring. Well, I guess I used to do it with the choreographed fireworks in Livermore too...guess I'm just a beautiful music and awesome visuals crier:)
