Serena Coles: Our Last Day

So, obviously it is a lot harder for me to find the time to blog when I am at home.
Our last day in Vegas was great, too! Now, I just have to try to remember what we did 2 days ago.
We started our day again with a more than good breakfast. The day before, I had seen people getting blueberries and strawberries...so I thought I would ask if it would be possible to have blueberry pancakes. So, they made me special blueberry pancakes (blueberries that they had to take out of the freezer and thaw). When I got them, they had put blueberries on top also with whipped cream! Wasn't expecting them to be so beautiful...but, I thoroughly enjoyed them!
After breakfast we hung out in our room and played some more Hand and Foot. (We love this game!) And, then headed out to the pool for our last time of hanging out in the sun. I actually got a little pink on this day because we could just feel that the sun was more intense. (But, I can honestly say that I am the darkest I have EVER been in my entire life!)
After we were out at the pool we signed up to be shuttled down to The Strip at 5:00pm. So, we played more Hand and Foot while we waited for the time to come. We had wanted to go down to the Stratosphere, but that is on the complete opposite side and so we didn't get all the way down there. But, we did do about 5 miles of walking around quite a few malls. We went through The Forum shoppes at The Caesar. We also watched the moving statues performance. This side of The Strip was much classier, definitely not as trashy! The buildings on this side were so ornate. They were beautiful to look at!
We decided to grab some dinner on the way back. I am always in the mood for Mexican and so we were going to get some at a place real close to the hotel, but on the way back we saw Bahama Breeze and decided to go there, since we have never been to one before. It was incredible. We got onion rings and split a coconut shrimp dinner. Yumm!! I also got a Mango Beach. It was Mango slush with Pina Colada mix in it. So incredible!
On the way back to the hotel we were still trying to think of something little to get the kids. We had seen a t-shirt that I absolutely loved for Keely but we didn't end up getting it. It said Potty Like a Rock Star. So we stopped by the neighborhood CVS and were hoping to find some t-shirts there. Long story short we got Tyson some "treasures." He is very into collecting little things for his treasure box. So we got him some dice and poker chips (that turned out to be chocolate). And then we got them some poker chip gummy candies to split. Who needs another t-shirt anyway. *Side note of the day: While we were out we saw a whole bunch of police cars and an ambulance at the corner of the street. We were trying to see what was going on and didn't see any cars involved. We found out that a pedestrian had been hit. Definitely not an unbelievable thing!!*
When we got back to the hotel we went in the hot tub for one last time and then headed up to the room to "quickly" pack and head to bed. (Packing always seems to take longer than it actually should!) We were probably asleep by about 11:30 and had to be up by 4:30 to catch our 7:00am flight. Not enough sleep!
Our flights back went well. We had a 2+hour lay over in San Fransisco. But it went quickly, of course.
OUR TRIP WAS SOOOO WORTH IT!!! But, it is definitely hard to get back in to the reality of our busy lives again!
