Las Vegas Family Wedding trip

Yay! We left onetime and are making great time...

· Parenting,Travel,Good manners

But wait...

1. We forgot the baby's blanket (return to the house)

2. "Nugget, why on earth did you take out all the DVD's for the road trip and put them BACK in the house?"

4. Still not on the road, now over an hour later and some fast food (now some kids but not all are hungry)

5. Some driving time goes by

6. We are approaching Vegas: Traffic Jam ahead so we are re-routed. Construction everywhere. I keep missing my turns.

7. Now some of the other kids who refused to eat are whining for food

8. Oh! Wait! I had entered the address on the GPS ENTIRELY WRONG. No wonder we couldn't find the hotel. (Pulled over, parked illegally on the strip and both boys hop out and pee on some random bush).

9. At the hotel front desk (casino) Max (11) declares that he is sick of waiting and breathing smoke and he's going to the arcade. He darts and the other 3 follow him, the baby with her blanket flapping behind her.

10. Hotel staff and I pause the check in process and chase them through the casino

11. We make it to the room. We are late to pick up the Husband from the airport and the kids won't get into the car. (Hungry)

12. A kind aunt and cousin happen to be at the airport and pick up the Husband.

13.Thank heavens for "Subway" at the hotel. It's one of the only two places they'll eat at.

14. All is well, time to go to bed...Oh great... I packed NO underwear (for myself).
