MARCH: Spring Break!

Ok, so Joe had a medical conference that was scheduled for March. When he booked it he didn't realize it fell smack in the middle of the kids spring break. Being the thinker that I am, I decided that we could make a family trip out of it, so the kids and I met him there for the last couple days of the conference. I know, I know, it sounded good at the time....Las Vegas, Spring Break, cool hotels, plenty to do and see....quality family time right? Well, I sorely underestimated the crap that fills Las Vegas. We spent plenty of time shielding eyes from billboards passing by or saying "don't look at the ground!" My kids even asked, " Why in the world would you take us here?" The only thing we could do was use it as a learning experience and take the opportunity to teach them about the things that the world offers and the difference between us and the world. Overall, we did make it a great trip. We saw many cool things and made happy memories....and hopefully we even strengthened our testimonies a bit! I'm so thankful to be different than the world!
