For our first stay in Vegas we got tickets to see a show called KA. It's a Cirque Du Soleil show at the MGM Grand. It was visually one of the best things I've ever seen. Coolest show ever. It was quite expensive to go to it, but I'd say it was worth it. We stayed one night at Bally's and another at the Paris. I wish we would've just stayed at the Paris both nights. Bally's was sort of a dive. The Paris was awesome. We walked the strip, ate a lot of good food, and watched all the crazies that hang out in that area. My goodness. There are a lot. We saw a guy at one point that was holding a sign that said "For $10 you can kick me in the nuts." Poor guy will never be able to have children...maybe that's not such a bad thing. We tried our very first frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity's. Wow, they are good.
Two days in smokey Las Vegas was enough for us. We were on to bigger and better things...Disneyland! Our hotel was literally right across the street from the main entrance to the park. We had three day park hopper passes to use as we wished, and we did. Howie hadn't been to Disneyland since he was a little kid so, I was so excited to take him. And neither of us had ever been to California Adventure so, that was new for both of us. California Adventure really impressed me. Especially the above pictured Paradise Pier. It was so freaking cool! We absolutely loved that big white roller coaster in the background (California Screamin'). We must've rode it almost 10 times. Space Mountain (in Disneyland) is probably my favorite still. We rode that one a few times, too. Still awesome.
After three filled days of the happiest place on earth we headed back to Las Vegas. This time we got to see David Copperfield. Childhood dream come true! It was kind of funny seeing him in person. He's getting old. It's kind of sad. But his hair is still (dyed) as black as ever! Howie got to semi-participate in the show. He got picked to pick the next people to go up on stage. I wish he could've gone up on stage. That would've been a moment to remember! He hates being the center of attention!
I'm just glad we got to do something fun for once over Fall break. I'm always the loser that comes back to school and all I have to show for Fall break is completed homework. That is so lame. This time I was one of the cool kids. Best Fall break ever.
