Post Mardi Gras
I'm going to change this blog to a travel blog! Seems like I've been gone alot the last few weeks. My parents and I took a quick trip down to New Orleans for a few days. None of us had been there before. We waited until Mardi Gras was over but there were still plenty of signs that it had just happened. We all got a kick out of the beads hanging from the trees.

Mt. Charleston, Neveda
While in Vegas, Steve and I drove to Mt. Charleston. It's only about 30 minutes away, but it's nothing like Vegas. You aren't able to drive to the top of Mt Charleston. You have to hike up there.
They had snow!
When you get to the lodge, that's as far as you can go by car. We went in and had some hot chocolate. It was 30 degrees outside!
It was a nice little trip. Good to get away from the neon lights, cigarette smoke and clanging bells for a little while.

Sorry boys...
After Chris, Sunny & Olivia left Vegas to head back to LA, Steve and I went out for dinner. Being big fans of Top Chef, when we saw this restaurant we had to try it out for dinner.
Sorry boys. The inheritance has been spent! When I saw the fleur burger, well of course I had to try it. But really. Who would buy a burger and wine for $5000?
I do have to tell you though. The lighting was so dim in here that I couldn't read the menu. I jokingly told the waiter that I needed a flashlight. He pulled a magnifying glass with a light on it out of his pocket!
I actually had the strip steak with the worlds smallest baked potato.
Steve had the braised pork ribs.
And then we retired to the hotel to watch.... The Bachelor!

Red Rock Canyon
On Sunday morning we headed up to Red Rock Canyons. On the way we passed by Blue Diamond and saw a bunch of wild burro's. Even though they were wild, it appeared that they were used to people being around them.
We made it to Red Rocks, but it was rainy and cold! We drove the 13 mile loop and stopped a few times to run out, look and run back to the car.
Those 2 tiny black specs are Steve and Chris. They had planned on doing some hiking, but due to the weather this is as far as they made.

Vegas style
Look who showed up in Las Vegas!
I was very impressed with her patty caking. Her parents didn't know she could throw her arms up in the air like that. Aunt Jena says I do patty cake wrong - that it should be "shove it in the oven" not "up in the oven". I do agree that her version makes more sense, but it's not as fun as throwing your hands up in the air!

Transportation Museum
Last week, I went with Mike and the kids to the Transportation Museum. I haven't been there in about 20 years. They still have all the trains, but they also have a building with old cars. It drizzled on and off, but it didn't faze the kids. They enjoyed climbing up and down the stairs to the trains, looking and touching everything and most of all ringing the train bells.
