Las Vegas Weekend

Dallin, Tyler and I headed out Friday after work. Goal was to make to St. George before it was too late. Traffic was heavier than expected. Trip was great and we arrived at the Ropers safely. Then after visiting briefly we went into St George for my required but missed the last couple of times trip to Nielsons Custard Shop. Love that custard and for some reason it does not bother me like ice cream.

Saturday morning it was off early to go to Vegas. Boys wanted to get there early so we could do some things before the game. We tried to find the Vegas version of the sky coaster at Lagoon only to learn that the MGM Grand had taken out it's team park about 3 years ago. I then made the boys follow me to my favorite electronics store. (Frye's) I did find some good stuff.

Next we searched for a buffet that had all you can eat crab legs. At Dallins request. We found one but if just happened to be at the Wynn. This just happened to make it very pricey. There was some good stuff but not enough to make it worth the cost. What ever happened to the days of the cheap but good buffets in Las Vegas.

Football game was good as BYU won. Since my camera was still with Alyssa only one picture of note. The following is Dallin and Tyler in the Bellagio flower exhibit.



After the game we played and caught the water shows at the Bellagio and then drove back to St George. Arrived at 3:50am. It was a very fun day as we had great company for all activities.

Sunday we went to church with Grandma and Grandpa (which seemed to come way to early as they had 9:00 meeting) then Tyler and I came back to catch a nap before dinner. Slept longer than planned -- can you imagine that. Ate dinner and then went to visit Geri's Uncle Leonard. We then went to visit the Guard's and Aunt Sharon. All of our visiting caused us to leave late . . . around 8:00pm. Had an uneventful trip home and arrived at 11:30. All in all a wonderful weekend trip with my son's in tow. Hope they know that I love them . . . . .
