Day 2 in Vegas...

Day two in Vegas consisted of a slow moving morning. Ty and I got up and went to eat at Einsteins Bagels for breakfast and the couple we were with, since it was their time share, went to a meeting. We didn't want to go to the meeting, I have no interest in a time share. Anyway after that we decided we would check out the chocolate and M&M's factory. We got directions from some one in the resort. Headed out and drove for about 15 miles or so and decided this was not the right way. I grabbed the map and got us back on course. I am always the co pilot when we go some where. My husband would stay lost if it weren't for me reading the map. Well I guess I shouldn't say that because if he had to he would read it but since I do it for him why bother. That is another thing my dad taught me how to do. My dad is a very smart man he taught me how to be very independent and to not have to rely on a man or any one else for anything!
Any way here are some pictures of the Chocolate factory...
and umm that is not all my boobs in this picture there was white on the sign!!!
A chocolate sculpture.

When we finished loading up on chocolate..as Susan said "we are on vacation, you only live once. You can work it off when you get home and back to the gym!" So with that said we enjoyed lots of chocolate, margarita filled chocolate and my favorite was the pina colada one!
Here is where we made our second mistake of the day. We asked someone for directions to the Hoover dam. We followed their directions...which again, we soon learned that people of Las Vegas DO NOT know their left from their right. If you go there DO NOT ask anyone for directions!!!! We were enjoying the ride cutting up and all till we said we sure have been driving for a while. I didn't think the Hoover dam was that far from Vegas. Well about that time came a sing of Death Valley Junction, California. This was the type of place you could go to hide bodies and no one would ever know!!! We laughed so hard that day that our tummies were hurting. Wilt said to stop at the next Wal-mart or Best Buy he was buying a, "sweetie" as he calls it, a Garmin GPS. Well once we got that sweet thing we NEVER got lost again!!!

We finally made it to the Hoover dam just in time for the last tour, which I think was at 5:15. The tour guide used a lot of dam humor like...hope you all brought you camera and if you did we hope that you take all the dam pictures you want.. and after the tour she said we were the best dam tour group ever!

Here we all are on the overlook of the Hoover Dam.

Ty and I, don't laugh...I have no neck I don't know why??


and Susan and Wilton:
and here are some more pictures of the Hoover Dam as that is pretty much all we had time to do, We stopped and had dinner at one of the casino's out in the middle of no where.
Here is a picture of Lake Mead as we drove to the dam. These pictures just don't do it justice!!!

Underneath the dam....
I know not the best picture of our tour guide...


Looking down...

They are building a bridge over the dam...to help with the traffic and a straighter route...

The other side of the dam..


The white is the normal water level for the area...

Went back to the resort..enjoyed the hot tub and some drinks for a little while and enjoyed the deck and the Vegas lights and cool air.

I also had to take pictures of this as they were every where....


Do you know who that is?


The Name of the bar... You guessed it....

We had to just for my sweet Amelia! Yes some of her naming came from Amelia Earhart!!!

More to come tomorrow after pre-op and I promise if I don't get to it tomorrow, trust me I will have a lot of time on my hands for the next few weeks!!! SOOO not looking forward to surgery, but I know it really needs to be done. It is starting to hurt daily!

If there are duplicate pictures please forgive me as it has taken me hours to put these pictures on here. They have made it so much harder, you use to could just click the picture and move it now you have to move it by the html code...ughhh.

Pre op tomorrow morning at 9.
