Vegas, Baby

Kwang received another offer for some free nights at the Palazzo in Las Vegas, so we packed up the family for another weekend getaway. I never thought I'd consider Vegas a great place for my young family to vacation, but the two trips we've taken there this summer were better than I expected. So I'm thankful for the offers, because I don't think I'd have even thought of going otherwise. Not only that, but each time we go Kwang is able to win enough to pay for our gas and food to make it a truly free vacation.

 

This time we spent a large amount of our time at the pool and I think it's safe to say that Las Vegas would be the only place Jude & I would meet a little girl who would greet us with "My mom can eat fire." I didn't know quite how to respond to that, but it didn't matter because Jude had no interest in her... which reminds me of a conversation Kwang had with him back in the hotel room which was prompted by a cartoon on the TV:

Kwang: "Someday, you're going to like girls, Jude."
Jude: "Noooo, I'm not....."
Kwang: "Then who are you going to like?"
Jude: "Nobody."

Jude seemed appalled at the notion. So I guess when he sees me and Kwang holding hands, he must think people are wondering how in the world he ever let his parents out in public like that and he's all, yeah, I'm hoping this is just a phase.

I think Audrey is the only girl Jude thinks he will ever like. This is how I found them as I was busy unpacking from our trip:

Audrey LOVED the pool: 
 

The stylish Ms. Hepburn:

As we rode the elevator down to our car to head home, a group of adults took a look at our kids and one woman said to us, "Enjoy every moment. It goes by fast." So despite waking up that morning with Eli's foot on my mouth, I couldn't have asked for a better weekend.
