Vegas Vacation Day 5

Tuesday morning we hit the gym again, (this was the only hotel that actually didn't charge you to use the gym- so we tried to take advantage of it!) and then went to the St George temple. It was a great way to spend the morning together. Once again it was a beautiful sunny day, a perfect one to be there at the temple. After our session, we had fun walking around the temple grounds admiring all the beautiful flowers and plants.
After the temple, Jeff arranged for a special treat. We had a couples massage at a great little spa/salon. It was actually my first 'professional' massage and it was awesome! Probably in part due to the fact that we had been hiking the whole day before. I can easily see how it could be addicting, and was already trying to think of an excuse to return.
We stopped for lunch at Cafe Rio before starting our return drive to Las Vegas. Once again, we used the time to call family and talk to our boys- they were having so much fun it was hard to get them to take a break to talk to us, but it was fun to hear their little voices.
When we got to Vegas, we checked into our final hotel, the Wynn. It was another awesome, 5-star hotel that Jeff had gotten a killer deal on. It was fun to see the room, we were up on the 38th floor and had a beautiful view of the golf course right behind the hotel. The whole side of the wall was giant windows. It was a pretty plush place. We had a huge flat-screen television, a deluxe king sized bed, and there was even a television in the bathroom. I loved the set-up. Other than a few 'nickel & dime' factors, it was awesome!
After checking-in and getting settled, we headed out to the Strip to walk around, do some sight-seeing, and a little shopping. Some things are definitely more worth-while to see than others. I get tired of having to avert my eyes, but fortunately our hotel was at the upper end of the Strip and it was kept pretty clean in most regards.
It was an enjoying evening out together. We found a few fun little souvenirs for the kids and enjoyed seeing some of the sights. It's always fun to walk around in the hotels looking at all the little shops and stores. We didn't buy anything there, too expensive, but it's fun to look. The fountain show at the Bellagio has always been one of my favorites, we also stopped to watch various painters, and semi-intoxicated tourists trying their hands at karaoke. We made a stop for ice cream at McDonalds on the way back.
It's funny how the night life in Vegas really doesn't even get started until about midnight- I completely lost track of time and didn't realize how late we were out, you wouldn't be able to guess by the amount of people out and about. Needless to say it was a late night for us but we had fun.
