Semester Break

Juan had a 5 day break between semesters, so what did we do? Go to Vegas! We stayed at this place:


So much free stuff to do in Vegas, and we hit it all.

We visited the Bellagio Conservatory:




We ate at a fancy food buffet at the Bellagio (not free):

An asian pear
(I love how it looks like I eat like a bird in this picture)


Juan got in a fight:


We brought home 1 souvenir from M&M world:

Green m&m is my fave. Favorite color, and favorite kind-peanut butter.

We saw the flamingos at the Flamingo Hotel (and many other animals):


Also, not pictured, we went to MGM Grand, New York New York (my favorite hotel), saw the circus act at Circus Circus. And best of the trip:

Bellagio fountains, but even better, the view from the Eiffel Tower. We went up on the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel. It was spectacular! We saw the view of the strip and to think it's only half the size of the real Eiffel Tower... one day.

We slipped back into town for my nephew Benjamin's blessing:

Juan kept giving these creepy smiles as Sadie was taking the picture. Then he came out with this one, which is still creepy by the way.

Juan does look like he is going in to squeeze your butt. I want to go to Vegas again. It has been too long since we have made that trip. That picture of Benjamin is so adorable.

What a fun trip. You guys did a ton of things in a short amount of time and it looks like for pretty cheap. I love Vegas. Benji looks so sweet. I miss you guys so much.
