Vegas - Last Minute

(High Roller ride at The Linq)

We did it.  We managed to get away on our own without any of the kids.  We went to Vegas for 3 nights. For $250/person including flights and 3 nights hotel at Palms with daily breakfast buffet, how could we resist?  

The week before, both Jas and Jules were sick so we thought the trip was cancelled.  But on Monday night at 11pm, I asked, are we going?  Our flight leaves at 8am in the morning.  The girls SEEMED not sick.  So we decided to take the chance.

The first day we arrived, we ate at the Seafood buffet at Palms.  The crab legs, to die for.  You grab a plate, pile on as many crab legs as you can and ask the guys to steam it for you.  YUM!  I had 3 full plates.  And I also had 3 glasses of wine (included free with buffet).  And dessert, and that was all I could handle.  I collapsed in our hotel room after that.  Rich did better.  He had 3 beers and 3 glasses of wine...

We bought the Powerpass and visited the Voodoo zipline (Rio), National Atomic Testing Museum, Springs Preserve, Sky Zone trampoline, NYNY roller coaster, LV Mini Gran Prix.  It was fun.  On the last day there, we went shopping at the outlets and Mr. Tweet found some great deals and bought a gazillion amount clothes.

In my hand, is a cracked geode busted into tiny pieces.  There are tiny crystals or quart in it.  I wanted to crack in half, but I got crumbled pieces.

It was a terrific trip; if only Tweet didn't get sick on Day 2.  Hopefully we'll be able to have more alone time in the future.
