Part Two

The second (very brief) part of our trip was to visit my brother, Charlie, and his beautiful fiance, Avigail, in Las Vegas. I had never been to Vegas before, and although I was very sad to leave the children, I was very excited to see a new city and to meet my brother's fiance.

As I previously mentioned, my alarm went off at 3:50 am to catch a super early flight from Seattle to Las Vegas, which wasn't very much fun at the time, but it was nice to get there as early as we did, considering we were spending less than 24 hours there. There is a LOT to do and see in Vegas, so we wanted to make the most of our time!

After we were picked up by Charlie and Avigail, we spent the first couple of hours touring their beautiful new home, and just relaxing- which was much needed! Then we hit the town, and I got to see some of the pretty hotels and of course the casinos. First stop, The Bellagio!

And you can't go to The Bellagio without seeing the fountains.

 

After The Bellagio, we went to The Cosmopolitan, one of the newer hotels on the strip.

After a delicious dinner, we went to see The Phantom of the Opera at The Venetian. It was amazing! Apparently the theater we saw it in was specifically built for Phantom, and it did not disappoint. The music was incredible, and so were the effects. It was SO good!

We had another super early flight (and another super early alarm at 3:50 AM), which made for a super tired momma-to-be. But the lack of sleep was totally worth getting to spend time with our family. Charlie and Avigail, thank you so much for your hospitality, and for making the most of our super speedy trip! We love you and can't wait to see you again!
