Kids woke up again at the crack of dawn, before, actually.
Julia woke up crying and coughing in the middle of the night, a bit of a barking cough. Scares me, she is only coughing sporadically now.
Anyway, it took us forever to get out of the hotel and into downtown. Is that what the strip is called? That's what I call it.
After planning our route for the day, Mirage, Flamingo and Bellagio, we drive around looking for the Mirage (oh the irony) we finally got into self parking and walked a long way to the Secret Garden.
The first thing we saw were the dolphins. We were there for about five minutes when TJ decided he wants to see the flamingos RIGHT NOW. He tries to take off up the stairs and out the exit. Luckily, we manage to corral him in and convince him to walk to the tigers.
To our delight, the first thing we see is a giant King of the Jungle, with a big beautiful mane.TJ looks up at me and says "we are in the jungle!"
I just asked TJ what else we saw. He said "the tigers in the jungle, because tigers live in the jungle and lions live in the jungle. All the animals live in the jungle."
Flamingos after that, Margaritaville after that.
Stopped into a store to get a t-shirt for TJ and a sparkly sweatshirt for Julia. Walked out with a Vegas snow globe instead. Seems fitting. Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day.
Today hiking at Red Rock Canyon.
