Vegas Nov 2010!

Sorry it's been a little while since our last update but we've been traveling!  The weekend before Thanksgiving we left little K-Falls and headed down to Las Vegas to celebrate our 2 year anniversary AND Harmony's 21st birthday!  Harmony flew in to meet us that Saturday night and got to see the lights of Vegas from the plane!

On the way down, we dropped Alee off with her breeder who was at a dog show in Paso Robles, CA.  We got to see Alee's dad place first in one of the rings!

After dropping our sweet Alee off, we headed for Vegas! We stayed at the Mirage Hotel and LOVED IT!  It was way classier than the hotels we've stayed in before.  Upon arrival, a cab driver suggested that we eat at Nobu in the Hard Rock Casino - so we did!  It was delicious and a perfect start to the weekend! 

On Sunday we headed to the Hoover Dam for a tour and a 6 mile hike to the White Canyon hot springs in the Lake Mead Recreational Area.  On the way there, we stopped for breakfast at the Coffee Cup, a famous breakfast spot that's been on the food network.

The trail wasn't always a "trail"

That night we ate at the Mirage Buffet and then headed to NY NY to see Zumanity!  It was a GREAT show but definitely not for children!

On Monday, we started the day with breakfast at another famous restaurant - Hash House A Go-Go!  Then (because of some awesome connections) we were all offered a more detailed tour of the Hoover Dam for free!  We actually got to go down to the base of the Dam!  How exciting!

After what seemed like an exhausting 2 days, we decided to spend the rest of the time checking out the casinos on the strip - the most impressive was the Bellagio by far!

After a great few days, we all hopped on a plane to fly to VA for Thanksgiving.
