Leaving Las Vegas!

SO basically, hotels are rad.  You show up and they're clean.  They have loads of tv channels (which we are too cheap to pay for at home.) We like to swim and hang out in the hot tub (no bubbles for Calvin, but bubbles for everyone else) and the pre-made-somewhat average-all you can eat-loads of options for breakfast- can't be beat.

Party in the hotel!

Calvin pigging out at the buffet!

Annie seizing the opportunity to swim. The pool was heated, the sun was shining, and it's about 30 degrees warmer than Utah.

Look at how happy and optimistic we are!  It hasn't yet sunk in that we have another 7 hours to go till we finally get to Grandma's in Mesa, Az.

We stopped at Hoover Dam on the way.  I just kept thinking of this quote from the timeless, classic movie Madagascar:

Skipper: "Hoover Dam! We're still in New York. Abort. Dive, dive, dive!"

Preston, Annie and Jade posing at the Hoover Dam monument.  I like Annie's pose the best.

Preston planking at Hoover Dam.  How many people can say they've done that? Not enough.
