Egypt was our next stop. No not really. Our next stop was in Vegas. We arrived there about 3 hours later then we had planned because they are doing construction at the Hover Dam. So when we arrived the children were able to see Vegas at night as you come over "that hill". The city was gorgeous.

We got to our hotel late and so we then tried to take the children to the strip. When we told people what we were doing they were appalled that we were taking children, let alone 10, to Vegas, but our thoughts were that it is a very visual stimulating town and people from Japan come to see it, so it is a great place to see.

We could not park our 15 passenger van and to valet it, that is expensive! so we called it a night and the children were able to see the strip a night, though it was through their window's. We decided to take the children Sunday early morning.

It worked. There were hardly any people on the strip or in the hotels. And the people that were there were getting a free show themselves. It's not very often that 10 children go walking through Vegas in one herd. The children were impressed. We had a great time.

Next stop Six Flags in Vallejo, CA.
