Day 12 Relocate to AZ

Day 12

Depart  LMV Resort Las Vegas
Destination  Circle Pines KOA Williams, AZ

June 19, 2015

Today we relocate from Las Vegas to Circle Pines KOA in Williams, AZ.  It was about 110 degrees when we left Las Vegas. We arrived at Circle Pines mid afternoon with a slight temp drop to about 95 degrees. After setting up camp, we enjoyed some of the amenities. The boys swam in the indoor pool, hung from the monkey bars and the big kids hit the arcade for some air hockey. The boys made a friend who they played with while I prepared dinner. After our spaghetti dinner, we all settled in for movie night. We watched "Cheaper by the Dozen" 1 & 2. What a great family movie choice! We all had a good laugh and headed to bed. Tomorrow is our big trip to the Grand Canyon!

What Happens in Vegas

6/17/15
Day 10

We left Utah a little later because the drive today was only about four and a half hours. When we got to LVM (Las Vegas Motor Coach), we set up and everyone except for me went inside the nice AC, I on the other hand stayed outside in the grass and read. I enjoyed the Nevada air (which was good because I have been looking at going to UNLV (University of Nevada, Las Vegas)). A little while later we decided to go to dinner at a Brazilian restaurant called Fogo de Chao. It was pretty good, I wasn't a huge fan of their buffet, but their meat was amazing!!! Servers would come around with sticks full of meat, each server holding a different type, if you had your card up, they would come over to you and tell you what type of meat it was and you could pick whether or not you wanted some. I really enjoyed the lamb and the top sirloin. Their lemonade was not my favorite, it was like a key lime lemonade rather than an actual lemonade, so I ended up trading that for a Coke. Dessert was great, Colin and I shared a Chocolate Mousse Cake, but I also snagged some of Charlie's Molten Lava Cake (the Lava Cake was better). 

After dinner my parents took us to walk the strip. Las Vegas has a little bit of every thing, you see quite a few interesting people while walking down the Vegas strip. I saw Olafs, minions, Hulk, Iron Man, "cowboys", "police officers", Kiss performers, and Transformers. They were all pretty cool, but what I enjoyed the most was the Bellagio Hotel fountain. The fountain preforms in sync to a song played, its beautiful with its lights and sweet music; it was definitely the highlight of my night.
