We decided to take a weekend trip to Vegas/St. George for our Anniversary and Birthdays. We went down with my parents and we had such a great time. It was so nice to have a break from our kiddos. We went and saw Alice in Wonderland 3D the night we got down there. It was ok not something I would go see twice. Friday we woke up and went to Vegas. The only gambling we did there was to try and win a camaro. My dad won 8.60 and we lost our 2 dollars. It was worth a try though right? We also went to the Mandalay Bay to see their Shark Aquarium. SO neat. AFter we had our fill of the strip Kris really wanted to go see the new bridge they have been building at Hoover dam. OMG! That ended up being a nightmare but it was funny. We got there and the traffic was a little backed up going in but not too bad. The traffic going out....HORRIBLE. My dad said we could go another way home and miss all the traffic. hmmm. Boy was he wrong. We drove 30 minutes and saw a little gas station. We had my phone telling us to turn around but my dad wanted to double check. The lady confirmed that we did need to turn around or else it would take 4 hours. We bought our drinks and some pringles which ended up being $14.00. I would say that was highway robbery. Anyway, we made it back to the dam and waited for 1.5 hours just to get back over it. My dad told Kris he would give him 100 dollars if he beat us to the bridge walking. IT was funny and something I dont think any of us will forget. Saturday we went to Mesquite and Kris gambled his birthday money. It was a great trip and I can't wait for our next one.
