Fear, Loathing, Hard Sales, and Soiled Diapers in Las Vegas

ROAD TRIP!

We were just outside Barstow when the most precious of all cargo had decided he had had enough. He had held up strong for such a young road tripper. We were headed to Vegas for our 2nd Anniversary with the little guy who kept us from our 1st Anniversary vacation. We got put up for 3 nights for going to a timeshare presentation.....hey, a vacation is a vacation. 2 hours of hard sales with Bethany not helping the situation by continuing to offer them a glimmer of hope, and we were free to explore Sin City....from a more family orientated perspective.

Oskar loves the ladies, and the ladies love Oskar.

the exact moment when Oskar began to get 'the fear'!

Oskar learned to pull himself up on this trip! And up and up and....... I know what you're thinking....

I checked to make sure he couldn't reach far enough into the slots to hurt himself.

new bridge to bypass dam(n) traffic

dam(n) long way down

dam(n) great day to be a dam(n) visitor

big dam(n) room with loud dam(n) turbines

if you've been to vegas, you know what these are. What kills me isn't how annoying these guys (and girls) are, nor how they think they are being sneaky by waiting for your girl (or wife and baby) to pass before trying to hand you one, no, it's not even the ridiculous amount of liter and wasted trees, it's the fact that someone is paying these people $10/hr to stand there and hand these out. The shear number of people handing these out had me questioning the economics to the point that I stopped and asked one guy. I tried to delve further into the numbers, but my 4 phrases of Spanish only get me so far.

I'd like to think we would both be this calm even if there wasn't a
piece of glass between us and a Komodo Dragon




On our way home Oskar made a friend who,
once she got his hand, really, really didn't want to let it go.
