We drove to Vegas with Kelly and Molly in July, to meet up with their lovely friends Danielle and Mary. It was hotter than hell even at night (around 121F when we were driving up) and we were none too pleased that our hotel hadn’t even bothered to mention anywhere that their pool would be under construction. We had fun though; Patrick, Kelly and I took turns watching Liam at night so we could roam around, gamble and drink. On Sunday, Patrick, Liam and I went to the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef. Liam was intrigued.

On the way back we stopped at the outlets at state line, where we proceeded to spend all the money we hadn’t lost gambling. Liam is such a good baby on road trips; he didn’t complain at all. I think we were all just glad to be back home when we arrived… it was a lot of driving in a couple days.
