Adventures in Vegas

This Thanksgiving we chose to visit my homeland-Vegas. Here are some of the memorable things that happened in no particular order.

1. Left unexpectedly really early Tuesday to beat a storm that from the account of others was not "the storm of the century" as predicted. I obviously was not here so I can't vouch for that.

2. Getting to Vegas early since we left early only to have to take Creed to an insta-care because he had a fever of 103.2.

3. Getting to said insta-care and find out that the Dr. or P.A. there didn't see children under 2. What? They told me I had to take him to the emergency room and it wasn't until my mom and I protested and my mom stated that we were out of town and didn't have 6 hours to wait in a Vegas emergency room that a Dr. magically appeared and agreed to see him. Apparently the Dr. was only in to do some paperwork but felt bad for us and felt Creed needed to be seen ASAP so it all worked out. The whole experience was surreal. To the no children under 2, to the office staff acting like they had never seen a baby. I am not kidding. They didn't know how to weigh him, or get his oxygen levels. It was crazy. Then the topper was the guy asked me if 7 month olds threw up a lot. I then asked "do you guys never see babies" he didn't have a response for me. Needless to say I am so grateful for competent medical care where I live and people who know how to deal with children.

4. After getting prescription from the Dr. I went to a Walgreens to get it filled only to find out they didn't have that dose of amoxicillin. What? Isn't that like the most prescribed antibiotic. So we went to another Walgreens and had success.

5. Visited the Dam and the new bridge that takes you to AZ. Way cool.

6. Went to Circus Circus with the kids.

7.Went swimming in 42 degree weather. It was awesome in a heated pool!

8. Walking threw a casino and Coen pulling a slot machine while someone was sitting there and they won and looked to see who did it and saw a little 2.5 feet kid smiling. It was classic!

9. Going to Serendipity and getting their famous frozen hot chocolate. It was sooo good.

10. Going out to eat for Thanksgiving was great. No prep, no clean up and no leftovers to overeat on. It was AWESOME!
