Bye Las Vegas!!

Sunrise at Las Vegas airport...  Early non-stop flight will get us to Austin midday.  Can't believe this trip went so fast!  Hope you had a great birthday dear!! :)

Walter T. Airedale...

We went to see Terry Fator after dinner at the Mirage.  He won America's Got Talent season 2.  Entertaining! :)

David's Birthday Dinner!

At Heritage Steak House at the Mirage...  The food was delicious!

Raspberry lemonade hit the spot!

Much needed cool down after walking in 106 temps.  Although not as humid as at home, it still was a bit warm...

Picked up a festive slush on our walk on the Strip...

Yummy lunch at the ARIA Cafe...

They had a jellyfish tank!

Shark Reef Aquarium...

... at Mandalay Bay.  We took the free Tram ride from the Excalibur.  

Us at the Aquarium...

On our walk home...

Drinking soup at dinner...

There were no utensils...  Dinner was chicken, potatoes, broccoli and a biscuit.

"Huzzah!"

At the beginning of the show, Merlin was giving the audeince instructions on how to cheer "Huzzah!" for our king and knights.  I guess David and I were lacking in enthusiasm, so we were called out by Merlin.  The crowd silenced and the spotlight focused on the two of us as we had to stand and do the "Huzzah!"all by ourselves.  Too bad cameras were not invented yet to capture that moment... :)

View across the arena...

We are in the Dragon section!

Specifically selected for David... :)

Getting ready for some medieval times...

New York New York!

Weren't we just here?

On our way to the Excalibur...

After a relaxing morning and filling buffet at the ARIA, we decided to walk down the strip to the Excalibur in preparation for our evening entertainment - Tournament of Kings!

We walked over to Caesars Sports Book to place some bets...

Took a taxi and checked in at the ARIA...

This was our favorite Hotspot to watch March Madness back in 2010.

Welcome to Vegas!

Flight was good, on time and bags arrived safely.  Temps expected to reach 104 today.  Hotter than home!

At ABIA, ate breakfast and ready to board our flight to Vegas!
