I remember being SHOCKED that MY parents had planned a trip that involved Vegas (we stayed there a couple of nights and then went on to Grand Canyon, etc). I remember walking around one evening after dinner and them saying stuff about "city of sin" and being a little terrified of what I might see, but I don't remember anything specific. Just an energy I had never encountered and people in weird costumes.<br /><br />Glad you got an upgrade and had a good time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234520836855164054.post-59139716296141557582013-07-19T07:42:55.129-05:002013-07-19T07:42:55.129-05:00Oh man, people watching is one of my all-time favo...Oh man, people watching is one of my all-time favorite activities. I can pretty much do that all day, but have you ever wondered how many people are doing it too.<br /> Vegas people watching must be fun.<br /><br />matt<br /><i><b><a href="http://digitaldivideandconquer.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Digital: Divide & Conquer</a></b></i>Matt https://www.blogger.com/profile/08852979197112220942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234520836855164054.post-13060694004317458922013-07-19T05:57:15.856-05:002013-07-19T05:57:15.856-05:00My friend taught there and said the night before a...My friend taught there and said the night before any field trips she would stake out the place and map out a path that would not lead past any naked-esqe people. She said that as hard as she tried, someone always ended up popping up. The funny thing is, she said kids were pretty numb to it and never batted an eye. Hmmm, not sure I would want my kids to be that numb to some of the stuff I saw in Vegas. BUT, it is, what it is, I guess.<br />~Amy<br /> <a href="http://www.theTND.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Teacher Next Door</a>Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04052080282031017363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234520836855164054.post-87849278476537024282013-07-19T00:08:28.636-05:002013-07-19T00:08:28.636-05:00I live in Las Vegas.

One time to see the pirate ships at Treasure Island during the day and three times to the aquarium at Mandalay Bay. I can't imagine how a parent would explain everything that goes on down there. :)<br /><br />Amy<br /><b><i><a href="http://mrslattinskindergarten.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Teaching Is Sweet</a></i></b>Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331091504048278854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234520836855164054.post-40867982845390912672013-07-19T00:01:16.460-05:002013-07-19T00:01:16.460-05:00You are like all the fiction characters I read abo...You are like all the fiction characters I read about that get to stay in the Penthouse...jealous! I loved taking my Gifted courses more than any courses I've ever taken with any education related. I did my reading endorsement after and was bored(even though reading is my thing). Glad you had a fabulous trip! <br />Alison<br /><a href="http://www.rockinandlovinlearnin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Rockin' and Lovin' Learnin'</a>Alison Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353164628345963175noreply@blogger.com
