On the Road (to Vegas)

Well, we made it! Zach, Grandpa, Grandma and I set out from Denver at about 9:30am on Saturday, and headed west. We lunched at QDoba in Glenwood Springs, changed a diaper on the most expensive changing table Zach'll ever see (trunk of the Cadi) at a rest stop somewhere in Utah, and settled into a motel in Richfield at about 6:30pm that night. Having all shared one room - not the most peaceful slumber arrangement, is it G & G? - we had the buffet breakfast next to the hotel, and hit the road again at 9:50am. We were about 4 hours driving time from Las Vegas, which doesn't exactly translate to 4 hours on the road, when you have a 7-month old. (And he did turn 7 Months OLD yesterday!) With a few exceptional screams of delight (his voice DOES get loud!), Zach was a great traveler, sleeping and playing and talking. We arrived in Vegas at about 1pm, local time. This is only my second time here, and it's a completely different experience than the first (when I came out with Katie and some of her coworkers for a leave-at-7pm-Friday-night-in-two-suburbans-and-drive-through-the-night-to-arrive-in-Vegas-at-5am-before-we-could-check-in...-sit-by-the-pool-and-drink-until-we-could-check-in-and-then-nap-for-a-few-hours-mabye-then-go-out-until-the-wee-hours-and-then-sleep-for-a-couple-of-hours-and-then-drive-back-to-Denver trip). Last night we ate at the Pink Taco in the Hard Rock Cafe Hotel. Zach was impressed with the skimpy pink taco tank tops, and tried some of the meat-on-a-stick, but best he liked the margaritas. Ay carumba! He's enjoying a well-deserved rest now. Grandpa's at the ballpark, watching those over-60's play until his over-50 game begins at 12:15. Grandma's keeping busy. Time for me to shower and get ready for the Boppin's lunch time. More later. And I'll try to get some pics downloaded too. :)
