Las Vegas- Day 3

Sunday was our last full day in Vegas. We started the day off by having a fancy breakfast at Primrose. The food was really good, and the coffee was really good, but it was definitely a little pricey. We enjoyed our breakfast and then we headed to "The Arte Museum". It was a really cool immersive museum. One room had projections of waterfalls, and it sounded like, smelled like, and even felt like you were in waterfalls.

We spent a good 90 minutes in the museum just checking out all the sights and smells. We really enjoyed it, and all I could think about was how much Emma would have loved it. There was even a part where we could draw a picture, scan it in, and it would be animated and walking around on the wall. It was pretty cool.

After the museum, we continued walking through casinos and checking out the strip. We shopped for some souvenirs and enjoyed some walk around beers. We also did some shopping at some of their pretty famous shoppes on the strip. We found a really good Mexican Restaurant for lunch. We had the best meal there and just really enjoyed every second of that meal. We even got table side Guac, and it was amazing.

We talked about doing some gambling, but we just never were really motivated to sit down and gamble. We were having too much fun taking in the sights and people watching. In the afternoon, we found a bar with live music and just enjoyed some drinks and music for a while. Then, we headed to the MGM Grand to see the Cirque Du Soleil show "Ka". I really enjoyed the show. The storyline was hard to follow at times, but the acrobats and performances were amazing. The stage was hydraulic, so it was crazy the way they would make the stage go straight up and down, or move sideways, and other crazy things. We really enjoyed it.

After the show, we were hungry for supper. We went to Eataly at our hotel, and had some homemade pasta, which was absolutely amazing. We had some really good food and drinks on this trip. Once we were full, we headed to our room to pack and get ready for our early flight the next morning. We had such a good trip, but by this point we were ready to head home the next day.

On Monday morning, we got up at 4:00am, and got ourselves to the airport for our 6:00am flight. We had a nice flight home, and then Jim came and picked us up at the airport and brought us home. We were happy to be home, got some laundry going, and then headed to bed for some naps.

Once we were rested, we cleaned the house, got unpacked, and then went and got the kids from school. We showed them pictures, gave them a couple souvenirs, and gave them plenty of hugs and kisses.

We had a really, really good trip. I could see us going to Vegas again in a few years, maybe even to catch a Twins game when they play there eventually. We also have more show and food to try. I think next time, we might invite another couple or some friends along to change the vibe a little. We had a wonderful time!
