The night before I started a Video Diary documenting us... so there will be a few of these throughout this post. This first one should have went with the first post on Vegas but it hadn't uploaded in time... so here it is.
The next morning was a bit chaotic. Junior wakes us up and says it's 9:30am we need to start getting ready if we're gonna make our 11am checkout time. So Jen and I lay in bed a little longer when all of a sudden we realize... daylight saving happened over night and it wasn't 9:30 it was 10:30!
Well no time for us girls to even shower... Jr did... but we got ready in a flash and we're out just before 11am. Man, and we needed to hurry because we still had a little shopping to do and we wanted to be out of Vegas early so we wouldn't get home too late. Jen had to work Monday morning and so did the people taking care of our kids.
But I did snap this shot of Jr and I in the mirror before we left our room.
After that fiasco we decided to cruise the whole strip. Again, I've never seen the WHOLE strip before. So another first for me. Now I've seen the whole strip, and I've seen it at night. Score!
Then we decided we were very hungry and stopped at Fatburger for lunch... which was actually our breakfast. Never been there before either! Man I was on a role with new experiences!
Then Jen got mad at me cuz she ordered first... but I got my strawberry milkshake before she got her vanilla milkshake. What can I say... it wasn't my fault. LOL
Now that we were fed we decided to go to this souvenir store and do a little more shopping. It's all we did and we are quite good at it.
Didn't work out... she just got ugly...
Jr searched for the perfect pair of shades... don't these just enhance his eyes?
And I... well... I studied...
After all the fun we hit the road.
Very soon we were right back at the Hoover Dam... that was quick!
Even though it was getting late... we decided to stop and get off this time. Yay another first for me... I was gonna see it up close and personal... instead of from a car window.
It was really windy...
And Jr became photographer and took over taking pictures... a lot times we were his subjects.
But he did get these two AWESOME pictures.
Then I got my camera back once we were in the car. And back in Arizona.
I was sleepy so I decided to take a little cat nap. Umm... BIG MISTAKE!
So after a fit of laughter I decided that I had to pee and we MUST stop!
Jr grabbed some Hot Chocolate...
And Jen played with a machine for like 10 minutes trying to get a soda where the quarter slot was filled with quarters... prohibiting her from getting one.
Then we finally were on the correct road back to Phoenix... doing 90 on the I-17 all the way home... until we got on the 101...
(If you make it through this video you're a real trooper!)
Man that was on adventurous trip home... one will for sure never forget either.

just a question? how the hell did it take from 3pm to 10pm to get home where the hell did she go lol
She did it on purpose she just wanted to take the scenic route at night just to see what it looked like. The few times I've been to Vegas we have always gone to that souvenier store. I think it's the one constant there.
Felicia - When Melo women go ANYWHERE this is ALWAYS what happens. Seriously. It's even a joke in our family that it's always an adventure with us. It truly is. SOMETHING always happens. It was fun though.
Long story short, I fell asleep, Jr was playing his DS, Jen took a wrong turn, no one noticed until we ended up in Flagstaff in the snow. LOL
Daddy - Yup Jr and I went to that same souvenir store the last time too. It's big. It's where we got Layna's "Tiffany" bracelet and Diego's necklaces.
