A couple of years ago Josh and I got a vacation package through work but never used it. Since it was expiring we decided to kill two birds with one stone and go to Las Vegas for our family vacation the same weekend as the BYU game. (Anyone surprised?!) We left Thursday night and drove to St. George. We invited Josh's sister, Rachael, to come help with the kids. Josh's brother, Michael, was a last minute add-on so we ended up driving two cars. It ended up being better because we split up the kids so they wouldn't wake each other up like they've done in the past. We made it to St. George at about 11. I had a list of cheap hotels and while we were driving my mom looked up the reviews on them all and we decided to stay at the Econo Lodge. We were on our way when I saw the Economy Lodge and thought I must've written it down wrong so we pulled in to check it out as I then saw the Econo Lodge across the street. N-e way, I asked to see one of their rooms and it was perfect. Very old and prison like, but it had two rooms, a kitchen, and tv room instead of just one room with two beds. He gave it to us for $50 instead of $70. We put the kids to bed and watched some tv while Rachael went and visited her old roommates.
Friday we woke up, well the kids woke us all up, and headed to the outlet stores so I could do some shopping. I keep scoring awesome deals on the kids' clothes for next summer - everything for $1-$3!!! Smartest thing I've started doing, btw. After shopping we went to the Pizza Factory for lunch. Then it was off to Las Vegas. We times it perfectly and the kids slept the entire ride to Vegas. We stayed in the Westgate Resort, which is beautiful and luxurious. Of course I forgot to take pictures of our suite, but here's the outside:
In the master bedroom there was a huge jetted tub. It really was just a shallow hot tub it was that big. The first thing I did was throw all the pillows in it and the kids played in there for quite

After we unpacked we hung out at our suite, played at the playground, checked out the other ammentities, and relaxed. We found a Walmart nearby and went and grabbed some food to make so we wouldn't have to eat out so much. When we got back we quickly fed the kids and headed for the pool. We did a quick swim and sat in the hot tub, then it was back to get the kids ready for bed. We put them in our tub to warm them up and realized this was going to be the hit of the weekend. Without any toys they swam and played in the tub for too long. I finally had to pull them out so we could put them to bed.
Adam and his sister Katie joined us late Friday night. We relaxed, ate, and watched tv all night!
