Last week we took the boys and drove to California to visit my family for a few days. The trip takes us about 10 hours to drive so we decided to break the trip up and stay the night in Las Vegas to keep our sanity. Vegas doesn't have much to offer for a very conservative family but I thought Stratosphere might be a fun place to stay. I found us an amazing price at expedia and Noah was so excited to stay at the tallest hotel in Vegas. We rode the scary fast elevator to the very top of the tower and watched 2 people bungee-jump off the building. It was really amazing how high-up we were. There wasn't much to do at the hotel especially for our little boys so the next morning we took them to the M&M store and we all got to pick out our favorite color of (seriously overpriced) M&M's.
When we got there, my parents took us out to dinner for some amazing fish & chips at Lucky Baldwins pub in Old Town Pasadena, while my little sister Eryn stayed home to watch the boys. 
The waitress was so funny when we didn't order any alcohol, I think she was in shock! It was a fun adventure and I actually tried the fish and it didn't even taste fishy. It is an Irish pub so they serve peas with every meal!
During our stay in California we took the boys to Disneyland (which I will blog about next), Jason and I got to go out on a date to the movies and I got to get my shop on!
On our way home, we stayed in Vegas again but this time we went a little more family friendly and stayed at Circus Circus (again, for a very low price). The boys loved jumping on the beds and wrestling each other.
We also had an awesome view right outside our window!
The hotel has a huge arcade and carnival games area that Noah just loved. They also had this huge fundome filled with more arcade games and rides; even a roller coaster!
Unfortunately, the casino was directly below the arcade so we had to smell the awful cigarette smoke. Every 45 minutes, they have live performers doing various circus acts. The performers were all so talented and strong. It was fun to see them!
We made it home safely and plan on going back in just a month for Thanksgiving. Oh I hope I get my SUV by then!

What a fun trip! I had a similar experience at Disney World where the waitress couldn't believe I didn't want coffee with my breakfast. LOL
