Oh the joys of a getaway with your little family! Matt was working at the Las Vegas Temple for a couple of weeks, so we thought it would be a great time to go down and stay with him. The kids didn't miss too much of school thanks to Martin Luther King, Jr Day. So the kids and I hit the roads on a Friday. They were so great to travel with. The girls watched movies, and Parker sat in front watching movies on his PSP. It took us 6 hours with 2 stops. Not too shabby!
Our first night we went to the M&M factory where the kids choose their "Oh so worth it", $20.00 per pound M&M's! Then we saw the Coke Factory where we had Coconut Coke and Watermelon Sprite! Yum!
We swam almost everyday. Even in the rain. The kids turn into fish whenever there is a pool around.
We went to the Las Vegas Natural Museum which I loved! We saw sharks, baby sharks still in the sack, dinosaur's, Apes, wildlife of Nevada, and all sorts of other neat things. I really loved the museum because there was something there for everyone.
My sweet best friend Napua from Hawaii had just moved with her family to Las Vegas last August and we were able to spend time with her. I love Napua and her family. They really took us in when we moved to Kona. They made us part of their Ohana, so it was nice to catch up with them.
The following Thursday we packed up and made the trip home with Matt in our car. Parker can't do a road trip without stopping and picking up a rock on the way home. He braved the cold winds and rain, and hiked up and found himself the perfect rock.
All in all it was a fabulous trip that we will always remember!

Hey, did you start at Jet Blue? What is the deal?
Now I'm REALLY ready for a getaway family vacation! You are AWESOME for buying $20/pound M&M's. I don't think I would have, but then you miss the memory! The kids know they are WORTH it!
Sounds heavenly! It takes a creative set of parent s to make Vegas that fabulous for their kids. Way to be.
Hey, what's that song? Only heard a bit, but I like it. Is it the White Stripes? Or that band I can't think of from Dan in Real Life?
