What Happens in Vegas...

Many people vacation in Las Vegas, our family is no different. Okay, maybe a little different. We visit at least twice a year and don't even make it to "The Strip".
Tommy is a Las Vegas Native (and we used to live there), so we always spend time with family, rather than be tourists.
However, this Labor Day weekend we thought Graham might like to see the excitement. One of my favorite "shows" is watching the Bellagio Water Show. So we drove down to the strip and parked and walked through the Bellagio to get out front to watch the show. We did make a pit stop in the Bellagio Atrium. It is an elaborate garden that changes seasonally. When we went it was all about the trains... it was fate that we were supposed to be tourists this trip (as Graham is obsessed with trains at the moment).
You can't really tell but there is a "living" train behind Tommy and Graham - made of plants and such.

The Water Show
Graham wasn't so into the show... he just wanted to go back inside and look at the trains...

Watching the trains go 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and.... you get the point.

Graham "lost it" when it was time to leave, but at least we know he enjoyed himself!

p.s. Tommy's phone actually broke in half on this trip (do you think it ws because of our charging method?!?). Luckily the day we got home his new phone - a working one - came in the mail. Good timing... if you have no idea what I am talking about, look down a few posts....
