Well one of the best things that Jeff's work gives its employees is that they have two
condoes that we can schedule for awhile. This year we decided to go to St. George last week. I know we went during the hardest time, but we still had fun. We invited my family to come down with us and they came for a couple of days. We also took a day and drove down to
Las Vegas and went to a couple of places there.
Here are a couple of pictures:

This is a picture of the Shark Reef
Aquarium at Mandalay Bay in Vegas. It was really cool to see all of the different sharks and other sea animals. The really cool thing was that they had a tour system where you had a handheld speaker and you typed in a number and then it would give you facts about the certain area. The picture above you can see a couple of people using them.

We arrived on Monday and we had around an hour to kill for our condo to be cleaned so we drove to the temple and walked around the grounds in the hot weather.

Here is a picture of the a sphinx outside the
Luxor hotel.
Dallin thought it was fun to see all of the buildings that were different things.

Here is a picture of the New York Casino and the roller coaster that is there. We thought that we might take a little time to go on the coaster, but we didn't have enough time.
I didn't take any pictures, but the first couple of spots that we went to was M&M World and Everything Coca-cola. I had been to Vegas about 12 years ago and we went there so I wanted to go back to those. For those that don't know M&M World is filled with 4 floors of everything M&M. You can get M&Ms in colors that are not sold in stores and also a whole bunch of stuff with M&Ms on it. (Pencils, towels, poker chips, etc)
Everything coca-cola is next door to M&M World and when I went 12 years ago there was a tour that you could take and at the top there were fountain drinks where you could sample any coca-cola product that it made around the world. Unfortunately, that got rid of the area and instead just offer a sample of 16 drinks of products from around the world that are only available in those countries. The kids had fun drinking the pop and most tasted pretty good, but there were a couple that hardly got drank.
