Eiffel Tower

With an eight and a half hour layover in Paris, I did not waste it by sitting in the aiport! Instead, I took the train into the city and saw some sights. Here's pictures of the Eiffel Tower I took.














Turns out the day I was there was Bastille Day. Bastille day is the French National day, like the 4th of July in America. There were people everywhere! The lines for everything were so long! I walked all the way around, since it was roped off for the celebration that evening.

Golden Nugget the best deal in Vegas

The Golden Nugget hotel and casino is in downtown Las Vegas on Fremont Street. It has under gone a huge renovation and is now what I think is the best deal in Vegas. This is a picture of our room in the Carson Tower. As you can see the room is good even though it's in the oldest tower. It was $47 including tax for the night. Sometimes it's only $39 after tax.
Be sure to check out their pool!!. It's awesome.

Hotel Review
Las Vegas

I hate road trips!

Here we go again. Through a random series of events I find myself driving alone with all three kids across the country. AGAIN!!

I can't complain too much, because my husband is taking me to Scotland for my b-day.  By taking I mean he is there for work and I will be joining him. After I get the kids to Texas where my mom lives. 900+ miles from my house!

I know what your thinking. Why are you not flying? Great question! I sure wish I was, but this has all come about since Wednesday July 5th leaving me with no option. That's one of the many perks of the military life. Our closest family is a thousand miles away.

Monte Carlo pool - Las Vegas

The pool at the Monte Carlo hotel and casino is one of my favorites in Vegas.
This is the wave pool.  Unlike some of the wave pools in Vegas there are no height restrictions, so all of my kids were able to play.  This is what makes the Monte Carlo pool the #1 pool for kids in Vegas!
There is a good size lazy river.

There is also another regular pool and a hot tub.
