Hendershot Family: Viva Las Vegas

Last weekend we headed to Vegas to celebrate my dad's 50th birthday. We met up with my parents and brother on Thursday night. My aunt, uncle and cousins came on Friday and my Grandma came up on Saturday. We spent a lot of time eating. We ate a delicious dinner buffet at the Excalibur and a good breakfast buffet at the Luxor. We also had fabulous hamburgers at the Harley Davidson restaurant. We spent a lot of time hanging out at our condo. It was really nice, but a little disappointing because it was too cold to enjoy the pool, but we did get a little hot tubbing in though. We walked a bit on the strip--saw the M&Ms store, rode the elevator up and down at the CocaCola store trying to get to the 3rd floor only to find out the third floor is closed, and saw the lions at the MGM casino. The guys all rode the rollercoaster at the NY NY casino, while my auntie won a couple of stuffed animals in the arcade. Mike and my brother braved the cold and saw the show at Treasure Island and did the rides at Circus Circus. We did some shopping, but didn't find too much. Mike and Kletey convinced me to ride the rollercoaster at Circus Circus on Tuesday before we left. I like to ride rollercoasters, but my neck just can't take it anymore. I followed the ride with an Excedrin. Whitney went on her first ride too. She wasn't so sure about it at first, but she was waving to us toward the end. It's definitely more work to take 2 children on vacation, but it was so fun to see everyone and spend time with them. I wasn't very good about taking pictures, but here are a few.
