Vegas, baby, Vegas

Last weekend Jim, Sadie, and I went to Las Vegas for a quick getaway. On Friday morning we dropped Ginger off at the kennel and had a nice, uneventful drive to Vegas. We checked into the Excaliber hotel and after getting settled we went to fantasy faire and played some games. Sadie won a stuffed unicorn, dragon, and bear, as well as a little barbie doll and some candy. We ate dinner at the Italian restaurant at the hotel and then walked around the strip for a bit before turning in for the night. The next day we ate breakfast at the buffet and then walked down the strip and checked out M&M World where we bought....you guessed it, M&Ms. Our next stop was the fountains at the Bellagio. Sadie was excited because one of the songs was "Time to say Goodbye" which I have on a CD and Sadie recognized it. After the fountains we stopped in Caesar's Palace and checked out the shops. Sadie enjoyed the FAO Schwartz store where she and I played on the big piano keyboard. On our way out we ran into Cleopatra and Sadie wanted a picture with her. We headed back to the hotel to clean up for dinner. We went to the Tournament of Kings dinner where we got to see knights jousting and Merlin doing magic. We also ate a good chicken dinner with our hands. Sadie got to wear her princess dress and she loved the show. We were on the front row so she got waves from everyone in the show. We even got her picture taken with the prince when it was all over. After the show we walked around outside for a bit and then went back to the room to go to bed. The next morning we grabbed some bagels and headed home to pick up Ginger who had a good time with the other dogs in the kennel. It was a fun little vacation and we all came back rested.
