Our Adventure Begins..first state, NEVADA

So we decided to get a day's head start and Friday afternoon on our 7 week adventure all over the United States. We made it safely to our first stop- Lake Las Vegas, Nevada where I booked us a nice room (probably one of the nicest of the trip) at the Ritz Carlton. Too bad we won't be here tomorrow night, they have the "best" fireworks show in Vegas. Oh well. The kids did great in the car...and with traffic it took us about 5 hours. (Only one stop for a quick dinner in Henderson). I will try and keep this updated, but it depends on time of arrival and internet connections on the trip. We are excited to see my sis and her family tomorrow night for a quick dinner on our way out of town. This hotel is gorgeous and is located right on the manmade lake. They had a fun live band playing in the courtyard area---entertaining us with some fun music---GNR, Tears for Fears and No Doubt... I will add pics as well as we go, but you'll have to stayed tuned for those later.
