Jeff & I had a great time in Vegas! We saw many of the hotels, dined at yummy restaurants, and enjoyed our time with friends and family! It was an average temperature of 112 degrees there every day, which made walking outside (even at night) very hot. We rode the tram and took cabs whenever possible to avoid heat stroke. We also enjoyed swimming in the wave pool and floating in the lazy river at our hotel. Jami and Kris's wedding was beautiful and we feel so lucky that we could be there to celebrate their special day with them. It was a memorable vacation and so nice to get out of town for a few days, however, we we thrilled to come home on Saturday and see our baby boy who we missed so very much!
