The Journey Has Officially Started...First Stop Vegas!!

We are off and running or should I say flying? Anyway, we took our inagrual flight at 5:34pm Pacific Time and landed in Las Vegas an hour later. The trip was short, but well thought out. Sara and I thought a short jont to "The City That Never Sleeps" would be a good test run for our flight system.

Well, it wasn't as smooth as I thought it would be, but not bad. It will only get better as we go. Flying out of Burbank airport was definetly a decent choice. It always is a breath of fresh recycled air from the drama-sized arena of LAX. We went straight through security were we had a conga line of plastic bins, carry-on bags, backpacks, a stroller (lightweight) and, oh yeah Pressley. Can't forget the little one. Sara and Pressley got through the security check with no problems, well as far as I could see anyway. Me on the other hand, I got a good old fashioned rub down from our neighborhood TSA agent feeling my backside for god knows what. That's alright though. You can only get pissed off until the one person they don't check ends up on your plane that wants to do something crazy.

Anyway, we made it to Las Vegas and taxied into the fabulous Hotel and Casino de Excalibur and look who Pressley found right away...


It's crazy how these kids flock to this guy! Pressley doesn't even know who this character is and she still knows to point and wave at this celebrity.
After getting checked in and settled with our bags, we grabbed a quick bite next to the "Thunder Down Under" show enterance (no you couldn't see anything thank goodness, but definetly a weird place for a foodcourt!), and then we headed to the Bellagio to catch the water show before bedtime...

Show hasn't even started and she loves it!
She's said, "Dad, you catch'n this?"

Well, just a few hours here and we took in a show, with Pressley's Monkey PJ's on and all!

Tomorrow is a full day of Vegas!

More pics of what we are doing!
