Los Angeles to Las Vegas

First of all I would like to say that I only sent 3 more boxes home after packing and 2 of them were the $11.70 priority boxes (or would have been, if I had gotten the flat rate boxes--I'm so annoyed that I picked the wrong ones!)

Okay, so this morning we ate at the Griddle Cafe in LA on Sunset.  It was pretty delicious.  Abby and Michael had the 'Tis the Season (pumpkin pancakes with butterscotch chips) and Mom and I had the baked potato omelet.  MMMMM.


Then the family went to Venice Beach and hit the road to Las Vegas.  Thanks to the GPS, we went pretty far out of the way before we got back on track (the Magellan wanted us to go all the way down to San Diego to go up to Vegas... and I listened for quite a while, until I smartened up)  Anyway, we got into Vegas around 6:30 and settled in a bit before hitting Love at the Mirage.  Everyone loved Love!  I was glad, since we had to shorten our California experience to get to Vegas in time for tonight's show--it's the last one before their vacation.

My only issue with Love was its lack of disclaimers for the strobe lights it uses.  Not to get too much on my high horse, but as a family with a member who has epilepsy, it's nice to get a heads up that there will be significant light effects.  You know what's no fun?  A seizure in the middle of vacation fun.  Thank god we made it through tonight, but if any one else has an issue with epilepsy or strobe lights or any combination, be warned that Love can be pretty flashy.

Okay, off the high horse.

We walked down the strip after the show and Mom finally got to see the Chihulys at the Bellagio, which was great! I think she enjoyed seeing the sculptures, since she missed the show at the Grounds for Sculpture!

Alright, it's now 1:30 am and Michael just got out of the bath (his second of the night!) so I think I'm going to get ready for bed and go to sleep!

Check out all of our pictures here.

Night all!
