and this was my favorite part of the trip, the mermaid show!  our two girls love mermaids and even before the trip started, i was telling them about seeing a “real” mermaid so they were very excited.  so the show starts and she comes down to the water, spinning and all, looking very legit but then as soon as she gets to the bottom, she hurriedly grabs her oxygen inhaler and not only that, but i see that she’s wearing goggles and nose plugs!  the goggles totally squished her eyes and her nose pinched from the nose plugs, and her inhaling the oxygen…it was all too much!  my sister in-law jaymie and i could not stop laughing, i almost had tears in my eyes!  i just hope the mermaid thought we were just so happy and mesmerized by how real and convincing she looked. 😉

oh no, she’s almost out of breathe!  better inhale that oxygen quick, little mermaid!

we went to the shark reef aquarium,

watched the mermaid show,

stayed at the golden nugget hotel,

went to crown bakery, my favorite place to hit in vegas!

played at the adventuredome theme park,

found one of jay’s top 3 favorite restaurant ever, pho kim long, for their duck & calamari.

(let’s just say i’ll never forget the name of that restaurant. 😉

we plan on going back again very soon so i wanted to ask you,

are there other cool places/food worth checking out next time we’re in vegas?
