Day 3..or day 2 in Vegas? They all ran together!

While I am patiently waiting for my very loving mother to send me the pictures from Vegas that she took, I will finish up the story without some images. Begrudgingly of course. We were able to obtain the delightful treats from In N Out via a VERY generous cab drive whose name escapes me right now. He is from Egypt, has family in Missouri and can read Arabic. He also killed the meter in the cab while we sat idly in the drive thru waiting to order in exchange for us feeding him lunch! I think we all came out even on the deal :)

He dropped us back at New York New York and let me tell ya, I was not impressed. It was soooooo small I nearly had an anxiety attack at one point! Not good. ALERT: MOM SENT THE PICTURES!!!

We left pretty quick and crossed the street to check out the M&M World store in hopes I could find SOMETHING wholesome and lacking sin in Las Vegas.



I thought it would be cute to have my mom take her picture with an M&M and give it to the boys when I got back, LOL!

It wasn't one of her favorite things to do, but she did it for her babies!

We trudged on down one side of the strip, popping into Paris, Harrah's and some dive place I don't remember the name of. I managed to get some of my money back eventually! We got on the DEUCE (double decker bus) and it took us back into downtown so we could get to the hotel. We were both starving so we had breakfast in the only open restaurant at the casino and went to bed at....5am! 24hours we had been up and gone! Good grief, I haven't done that since college I think?!

We slept like bears in hibernation. We slept so well that we darn near missed our spa appointment. The spa appointment that was set at 3pm! Yes, that is right, I woke up at 2:58p and yelled "SHIT, we missed our spa appointment!" Mom jumped up and started to put clothes on telling me to call the spa and tell them we were on our way. We were a fiasco to say the least! The treatments were wonderful and I would reccommend their spa services over and over!

I changed my flight to arrive back in Honolulu later b/c I wanted to spend more time with my mom. We gambled together all night; sharing seats at the same card tables and wandering the slot area having the pick of where we wanted to sit. I eventually headed up to the room to get my bags all packed up. We headed off to our last breakfast buffet and then I waited for the airport shuttle to pick me up. I slept all the way home on the airplane.

I was so excited to see my babies at the airport, I missed them sooooo much. They missed me too apparently. DevilDoc doens't quite do things the way I do them :) He was told many times that "mommy always has snacks for after swim lessons", "mommy doesn't let us eat waffles 2 times in a row", "we always have a cheese stick while mommy is making lunch". So, it is good to know that they appreciate the things I do, or at least they remember them! And God bless DevilDoc for trying...he did a pretty good job, not sure how he'd a done w/o the "honey do" list I left for him though?!
