Grand Canyon

 We had to get up bright and early to go to the Grand Canyon. Getting breakfast was a pain and we saw a guy getting dragged out of the casino in Treasure Island (where our bus picked us up). The guy who drove the bus NEVER. STOPPED. TALKING. His throat must have hurt. He stopped for 20 minutes on the way out and 20 minutes on the way back. It was insane. 

The girls were less than impressed. We couldn't really do anything so we just took pictures and walked around. We got tickets for the sky bridge. It's a huge glass bridge and when you look down, it goes seemingly forever. Unfortunately for me, my lizard brain freaked the fuck out. I walked on the little strip where you can't see down and tried not to vomit. It was a quick trip. 

Viva Las Vegas!

I took the girls to Las Vegas. It kind of happened on a whim. I was looking at ticket prices and they were pretty low to go to Vegas. It ended up being super expensive so no vacations for a minute. We flew out on a Saturday afternoon. The wind was bad everywhere so our flight was delayed and we had to take the tram to a different terminal. I had brought a bunch of activities for Ruby so we played cards while waiting for our flight. 

We finally got to the hotel and there's smoking! Inside! That's insane, there's kids all around. All gamblers need is access to booze and somewhere to dispose of their money!

The first night we walked over to New York New York and got Mexican food. We went up to the room after that because we had to be up early the next day to go to the Grand Canyon. 

The TV wasn't set up for streaming, it was just cable, so we just had to channel surf to find something to watch. Maggie said, what kind of TV is this? 

She heard me tell that story and told me she was just asking what you call that kind of TV (like we refer to streaming) but, as I told her, that's way less funny.
