Out and About with the Family: Mega Road Trip

Just over 3200KM has brought us to Palm Springs, California! It was uneventful but fun. First stop was just over the boarder, south of Creston, at a U.S. post office!

Then it was back on the road. We traveled down through Idaho, over through Montana, and stayed in Dillion, M.T..

While traveling the full length of Utah, or what it seems, we stopped by to check out some ancient lava fields. Very cool! The temps were also starting to soar up to plus 45 degrees Celsius!!!!!

There was a stop in Salt Lake City, Utah, to see where the Tabernacle Choir rehearses. What a concert hall with exquisite acoustics!

Our second night on the road, was spent just south of Salt Lake City, in Nephi! It was the 4th of July and accommodations were slim pic-kin's! However, we did find a bed and the next morning kicked off the day with breakfast at Denny's! On this leg of the journey we skirted Arizona, before hitting the many lanes in to Las Vegas!

We stayed in Las Vegas for a couple days to relax by the pool for one day, and then in the evening checked out the fountains and fires. A whole day was spent at Circus, Circus Adventuredome too. I even gave the newest roller coaster a whirl! However, for the record I did not enjoy it! I could only hear myself screaming! I lost count how many times Amyah and Chris went on the roller coasters though. :) Max was a fan of the Thunder Birds - a ride of airplanes.

Chris & Amyah off on the roller coaster for about the 5th time!

We also ate for the first time at a Rainforest Cafe, Amyah got in some violin practicing, and there were many pretty sites to see in the Bellagio, which was next door to our hotel, the Vdara.

and a bit of goofiness with Wicky Sticks that that kids got from the Luxe Cafe! :)
Wicked Spoon, a trendy buffet in the Cosmopolitan was also on our list of "to do's"! However, as it usually goes with our trips, some one had to get sick and this time it was poor Max. He did want until we had paid, sat down and had gotten our food. BUT, before we took a bite, he got sick all over the front of Chris! Poor Chris! We were reimbursed, thankfully, and the Wicked Spoon is still on the "to do list". :)

Now, at our destination, we are sticking close to the pool, and A/C. Palm Springs is a great place with tons of shopping, great kids' programs at the local library, Creative Child Museum, and a movie theater down the street!
