Las Vegas!

The beginning of November marks our annual trip to Las Vegas. A trip we have been taking since the year we were married. It also seems to be a time that one or all of us in the family seems to get sick and this year was no exception. I had an awful sinus infection and the day we were flying out, I kept Parker home from school for a bad cold and on the way to the airport Peggy called us and said Parker had a fever of 102. I was worried he might have swine flu so we were calling the doctor on our way to see if there is anything we should do and if we should be worried about Myles, but we figured it was probably best that Myles wasn't near Parker and decided to fly out anyway. Thank goodness he was in good hands with Grandma, I just felt bad leaving a sick child behind. He ended up staying home from school that whole week and was pretty much better by the time we got home. We still don't know if it was the flu, but we are thinking it was probably just a bad cold since no one else got it. Anyway, our trip was great. Myles did really well on the plane both ways and pretty much just slept the whole time. This time, due to experience with Parker as a baby, we were able to make sure he didn't get overly stimulated with all of the Vegas lights and that seemed to keep him happy. Lynn met with some good people at the trade show and I kind of took it easy because of the sickness, but still had fun getting in some shopping at the outlets. Myles and mom ready for his first plane ride at 6 weeks old! As always, we had a great time. Went to a cocktail party, dinner and breakfast with some of Lynn's clients and enjoyed some great food. The mimes at the Venetian. One of our favorites. St. Mark's Square in the Venetian is a great place to relax and enjoy some people watching. Especially after all the walking at the trade show. On top of the Stratosphere overlooking the city of lights. Whenever Myles was awake, this is how he looked the whole time. He was very attracted to the flashy ceilings and lights in the casinos. Hanging out in the hotel room.

This is what Myles was doing as we were waiting for the plane ride home. I'm sure there were a lot of passengers hoping they wouldn't be sitting near us. Luckily he calmed down by the time we boarded the plane and slept the whole way home.
