Las Vegas Trip 2013: Excalibur and Family Time

Last weekend, we took our first out-of-state road trip with both the girls, the destination: Las Vegas, Nevada! We went to visit family and the girls got to meet some of their little cousins for the very first time. The trip was lots of fun, and the little cousins had the best time playing together. We managed to get all seventeen of us together for a group family photo, with all the kids looking at the camera, which really is a feat in and of itself. After spending time with family the first day, in the evening we made a trip over to the Excalibur Hotel as the kids were enamored by the prospect of visiting a castle. We stayed at the New York, New York Hotel, so the Excalibur was conveniently located right next door. We took the kids to the Excalibur Arcade and despite being tired from a long fun day (and restless road trip), they dashed around and had a great time playing all the arcade games. When the night finally came to a close they both crashed out the second we put them in bed...this NEVER happens in real life, only on our vacation alternate reality, HAH. Suffice it to say, we also crashed out the second our heads hit the pillow. Ahh, vacation bliss!
