vegas, cont.

Got a few more Vegas pics for everyone! I also have some fun stuff coming up as soon as I get a little time. :D For now, though, vacation!

We went to FAO Schwartz at the Forum Shops by Caesar's Palace. I forgot to switch my camera from outdoor mode so the color is off but Autumn had some fun on this huge clifford plushie.


I think Mike and I were at a coffee shop at Caesar's Palace when I took this. We found a quiet, out of the way place to sit while some of the others were at shows or in the casino. It was a nice break from the bustle. Anyway, this is Las Vegas Blvd.


After that, we all walked to some of the other nearby casinos and I got another nice street shot.


At this point, I became the biggest winner of the trip until Mike totally beat me on the last night. A whopping $24.67!


The next day we did some more touring. We rode the roller coaster at the New York New York. I have a printed photo of that I will try to scan because it's kind of funny.


That night we got all dressed up to go to Penn and Teller and fancied Autumn up, too. Someone made my night by asking me where I bought her dress. :D Also, Autumn and Tyler did a lot of hugging and kissing.


And just general being cuteness.


Mama Lainey and Aunt Lindsay taught Autumn how to bow Japanese-style. :) Now I just need to teach her to say, "onegai shimasu!"


Penn and Teller was really, really great. I'm not a big magic show person but I had a blast. I really recommend the show to anyone who goes to Vegas and hasn't seen them. Both of them stand in the lobby and greet fans after the show. I was able to sneak up front, smile really pretty, and get in a picture with Penn. Who is 6'7." We were so tickled by the whole thing that Mike and I pretty much spent the rest of the night grinning.


And on that fun and slightly silly note, I will call it a night. :D But, more vacation pics, a video, and some milestones are coming up in the next week or so!!

Wow, that was a really cute post. I love Autumn bowing picture, and of course you and Penn are super cool. Except that he's a twit.

Oh, I'm glad you liked it. I was hoping it wasn't boring.

And...yeahhhhh, Penn has some issues. But it was a great show. :P

"WHOA!" was my initial reaction at that picture of you and Penn. I get a kick out of height differences.
