Vacation Wrap-Up

So, we stayed in central CA from Monday-Sunday, enjoying the leisurely California life and the US Open. On Monday, we packed up the family and popped over to Las Vegas. DKG had a conference there and we figured we may as well go with him, since we were right next door anyway, right?

It was so hard to leave! We really fell in love with the central California and made many promises to return as soon as we could.

We knew it would be a bit jarring to go from the super-relaxed, natural, easy lifestyle of CA to the craziness that is Vegas. We flew to Vegas with DKG's family, which was awesome... 5 adults & 1 toddler with her own seat. Such an easy trip!! Since we were traveling with Lola, we got picked up at the airport in a limo. Yup, a limo ride before she was even 2. I didn't ride in one until my wedding day! I know my kid kinda has a ridiculous life. Really, I do. She is WAY fortunate that we've been able to do as much as we have with her.

Anyway...

DKG, K & I stayed at Aria for the first part of the trip, since that was where is conference was being held.

It was nice, new & shiny, but we were rather unimpressed with the service. It also was a hassle to be so far from DKG's family, who were staying on the other end of the Strip. So we moved and rejoined the family at Palazzo. :) And got to hang out at the pool. (A lot. What else are you gonna do with a toddler in Vegas?)

(Although, I did start to wonder if maybe we've taken her to Vegas a few too many times...)

And lived happily ever after.

Well, for the most part. Someone wasn't too happy about vacation being over. Or she was worried we were extending the trip and going somewhere else. Who knows? We did have an amazing time, but we were all glad to get home and get back to "normal" life in the land of Growing Kumquats!
