Vegas, ER & a Snow Storm - 52/365

Today we were going to start our day with a yummy breakfast at Planet Dailies.
We all decided on a yogurt, granola, fruit bowl and a side of the crème brulee French toast. It was SO DELCIOUS!!! We all loved it!
After breakfast, we walked around the Miracle Mile shops. We hit Brighton for some charms and Alex & Ani for a couple bangles. I just love the Alex and Ani's. I have most of the Disney Ones, but I wanted to see if there was a Vegas One. Sure enough, there was! YAY!
After breakfast and shopping, we were going to walk around and enjoy the sunshine. It was going to be in the 70s again, which felt like 90s to us, after all this cold.
We walked down to the Linq and hit a few stores. Chloe wanted a tall, slushy drink you could walk around with, so we ended up at the Purple Zebra. We all chose some fun glasses and most of us decided on the coconut drink. It was so yummy, too!
After we got our drinks, we decided to hit the high roller. We had done it at night time last time, so we were excited to see the view in the day time. It was amazing and did not disappoint. You could see all the mountains, watch the planes at the airport and even see a few golf courses, which is funny against the Las Vegas desert. We enjoyed it very much!
After that, we decided to head back to the room a bit, to take a rest before we got ready for the Britany Spears show.
We were meeting the whole crew for some dinner before the show. We decided to just walk around the Miracle Mile and stumbled on a pretty decent place. I think it was called Harbour House.
After that, we headed over to the show. The Britany show was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! That girl can dance. The dancing and special effects were probably the best I've ever seen. I had even forgotten just how many songs she had that I knew. We were all singing away to every one. Amazing!
After the show, we stopped in the Britany store to get some souvenirs. Jenny and I both got "Work Bitch" t-shirts and what we called "Britany pants". They were just leggings that had names of the songs all over them. They were a hoot!
After the show, MJ and the crew were going to go to a club, being we were still on Ohio time, we were pooped. We decided to just go grab a nightcap at the bar section of Miracle Mile and call it a night.
We ended up at a lovely Mexican place. We had some snacks and a drink, then headed back to the room.
We were walking along, just talking about the show when suddenly, I went DOWN...HARD!
I slipped in my foam flip flop on a small puddle of water and screwed up my knee pretty bad.
They ended up calling the ambulance because I couldn't walk. I ended up at Desert Springs hospital amongst all the crack addicts of Las Vegas. When they were wheeling me in, they said to Nana, stay to the side, because they will grab at you. They were moaning and getting threatened to be restrained. We ended up being there like four hours. It was horrible. Nana, Jenny and Pam ended up using a sheet they gave me, to cover up the chairs because it was a dirty hospital, too! YUCK!
They did an x-ray which was negative for a break, thank goodness. I got a shot in my knee to help with inflammation and some pills.
Finally, I was released on some crutches. What an ordeal that was. It was CRAZY!
My leg is super screwed up, but we'll just have to see what happens.
Meanwhile at home, Jim and Reagan were trapped in the house all day because of a winter storm warning. They spend most of the day playing in the snow, then hanging around the house watching movies and playing games. Her new favorite game is now Sofia the First, Magical Tea Party. The tea pot puffs air into the tea cup and changes your tea into different colors. She loves it.
Jim also had to cook Brinkley his ground beef, rice and gel meals today. It seems to be helping, so hopefully he be back to normal soon!

Last Vegas Day and Grandma's House - 95/365

Today, Jim and Reagan spent the day and Grandma and Papa's. 
Reagan colored with Papa and they all had lunch and just played. They had a great time spending time with them and hearing all about grandma's recent trip to Disney. Grandma even brought Reagan home a cute dress, top and sunglasses. She was thrilled! 
The rest of the day they just hung around at home and took Brinkley for a walk. 
Over in Vegas, we were pounding the pavement, yet again! We started with a breakfast buffet in the Palazzo. It was delicious! We had these yummy champagne drinks with strawberries...to die for!!! Cheers!
After breakfast, we caught a cab down to the Las Vegas sign. There was a marriage going on with Elvis as the "priest." It was hard to take our pictures without having him in our pics. UGH! 
After that, we got a cab to the MGM Grand. We wanted to walk around and check out the setup for the ACM awards that were live from there the next night. We didn't see any stars, but we did get to hear Miranda Lambert rehearsing. It was pretty cool! 
After we checked that out, we walked over to New York, New York. We did a little gambling and had a drink at a cool little bar called Pour 24. Our bartender was pretty nice. He was from Pittsburgh, so we talked football a little bit and how he liked living in Vegas. It was a nice little chat. 
Next, we hopped the monorail over to the Paris. By this time, we were hungry again, so we were looking for food. The Paris wasn't offering anything that we wanted, so we hopped a cab back over to Palazzo and went to a cool pizza place. It was nice and quiet and the pizza was excellent. 
After lunch, and running on 3 hours of sleep, literally, it was nap time. We all took a break for about an hour and a half. It was nice to rest our feet. 
Nana, Jenny, Pam and I had tickets for the High Roller at 7:30, so we booked it over there. It just opened that week, so it was really cool to be part of the first riders! The view was AMAZING and you didn't even feel like you were moving. The whole trip around the wheel was a half hour. SO COOL! 
After that, we went back to the room to get MJ and were ready to hit the Keith Urban concert. That concert was AMAZING!!! He played for nearly two hours. He even came out to a small stage right near us where we could almost touch him. It was too cool! After the concert, we were starving, so we ordered room service while we packed up to leave. It was 1:30 am and we had to be up at 6:00 to get ready to get to the airport!! We scarfed down some cheeseburgers and hit the hay. 
What an amazing trip with SO MANY LAUGHS! We can't wait to do it again. We want to make it a yearly thing!

Finally, Reagan hanging out with Grandma and Papa Greg.
