We are only days away from our challenging journey as a young family and there is so much to be done. Preparing for a trip like this is just that... a challenge. There are several things to be handled that you wouldn't even think twice about for a trip lasting a few days, a week or even two weeks.
We've read up on it and you would be surprised at how many people actually do this. With the help from family and friends our house is in good hands, the car will be stored and our mail will be held...somewhere.
Who would've thought packing would be the easiest part of this whole process thus far. I guess when you are only taking two carry-ons and two backpacks there really isn't much to worry about.
Vegas is the first stop and I am looking up things to do there that is cheap and/or free. This is what I have come up with so far:
FREE
Fountains at Bellagio
Every evening, a water and music show plays again and again in the spectacular fountains filling the quarter-mile-long lake in front of the Bellagio.
Lion Habitat at MGM Grand
One look into the MGM Grand's lion habitat and you'll be hooked. The majestic cats command adoration whether they're chasing a large ball, licking their immense paws or just lyin' around.
M&M's World
M&M's World may be the most delicious attraction in Vegas. And judging by its scores of visitors, M&M's World must be doing something right.
Wildlife Habitat at the Flamingo
The Flamingo's brilliant neon sign is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable on the Strip. And visitors can take a closer look at the creatures who inspired the bright display at the hotel-casino's very own wildlife habitat.
NOT FREE (but we might go check out)
Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat
The Secret Garden at the Mirage is home to some of the world's rarest and most exotic animals. The Dolphin Habitat features adult bottlenose dolphins, which reside in a special marine facility that contains more than 1 million gallons of man-made sea water.
$15 per adult
Shark Reef
Ranging in size from a 12-foot nurse shark to 1 1/2-foot baby zebra sharks -- which are in a small "touch tank" -- the Shark Reef pleases patrons big and small.
$16.95 per adult
If you have any ideas please let us know!
'till next time!!
