We arrived home around 12:30am this morning(Sat). Our flight arrived at 9 but due to the thunder storm our luggage was unable to be unloaded until after the storm had past. When last I blogged we had finished our tour of LA/Hollywood. On Wednesday we slept late, exercised in the fitness center and had a leisurely breakfast then drove to Las Vegas. We stayed in the New York New York Hotel which was a neat replica of New York City-never have been there so it looked just like what I thought it would look like complete with the Statue of Liberty outside. We turned in early because we had to be up and ready to catch the bus for the NASCAR Drive by 6:45 the next day. Thursday was a beautiful day for the NASCAR Drive and Norman was happy that he beat his driving speed from the previous year. When we arrived back at the hotel we decided to walk around the strip to see some of the other hotels. We saw beautiful flowers, lions in hotel lobbys, ladybugs and snails made out of flowers. We even saw Elvis. That night we had a John Deere dinner and then went to Ka Cirque Du Soliel at the MGM. It was amazing and we had great seats. We were up the next morning by 3:30 to get to the airport to try to get an earlier flight home. Needless to say with the American Airlines groundings an earlier flight did not happen. Norman spent the day catching up on emails and I enjoyed listening to everyone else's conversations. (Auntie and Ma you would have really enjoyed it). Overall our trip was every enjoyable and relaxing, too. It is always good to get home. Today the boys were suppose to have ballgames but both were canceled because of rain. Ryan made some delicious wings and we had some delicious cheese cake from Samuel. After supper the kids(Sara, Ryan, Summer, Josh, Luke and Samuel) surprised me with an early Mother's Day present-a new laptop computer with a 17 inch screen and a full keyboard. I LOVE IT!!!! You guys really should not have done this but I'm glad you did and I know I am going to really enjoy it and who knows, I may blog a little more often.
