The rest of our Thanksgiving Weekend!

First off I have to thank my sister Shannon and my niece Gabby for watching the kids so Clint and I could have a fun weekend together. After Clint's Triathlon we drove straight through to Vegas. We had a great time. We ate tons of great food, shopped till we dropped (fyi:Vegas is a great place to be on black Friday!), saw Phantom of the Opera (which was nothing short of AMAZING) and a Cirque du Soleil, and did all the touristy stuff (even though we have been there quite a few times before). It was a great weekend with some much needed time alone. It was our 1st time going anywhere without kids!


M&M Factory. Yumm look at all that chocolate!
Coca Cola: It was pretty cool, it has everything coca cola. Below is a sample of the popular coke drinks around the world to sample. The one from Italy was horrible, tasted just like cough syrup. What are they thinking over there?


The Hotels in Vegas always have awesome holiday decorations.
