Vegas 061309

06/13/09

We had a 3 days trip to Vegas last weekend, it was quite a relax trip compared to the ones we had before. During this trip, we went to 2 places that I had never been before, not new casino but a historical place and a man-made lake.  The historical place is called Ghost town, it's a town that used to have about 1200 lived there in the 1800s but now only 8, that's why it's being named that way.  I was surprised that most picture we took there look pretty good.  Almost everything there has at least 100 hundred years of ago except those AC in the restaurants, other than that everything else were kept the way it was in the 1800s.

What's so interesting over there? 

It's this CHU CHU TRAIN! Ah B kept calling CHU CHU TRAIN whenever he sees this train.  "Note: CHU CHU TRAIN could be any kind of TRAIN in Ah B's mind, not limited to Thomas the Train!"

Waiting for our turn.


Ah B is so into CHU CHU TRAIN lately.
Inside the train.  I love ah B's big cheek.

Ah B is standing in front of "Hank's Hotel", don't know how popular it was before but I am not dare to walk inside, looks too scary from the outside to me!!

This house was made of glass bottle, it was made in 1950s when Mr.Knott bought this place.

Good scene from the top of a hill.

This place has nothing looks like California but it's in California. We need to pass by this town when we go to Vegas.

I don't know what this is, can't you tell what this was used for back then?

This boy had to walk by himself.
Behind them is the school house.

Ah B loves this house so much for some reason to the point that he didn't even notice we had ran away from him.

He still didn't know we are away from him.

That's enough pictures for this small town. We actually took almost all of our picture at this town.  I should have taken some picture elsewhere in vegas throughout this trip but I didn't.  Not even at a man-made lake we went to where Ah B enjoyed feeding the fish with popcorn.  We fed a bag of popcorn in less than 15 mins. I think Ah B will stay there for a day if we have unlimited supply of popcorn to feed the fish.

On the other end of the lake, there is a beach like area where people would go swimming. We took a picture and left to go back to the swimming pool in hotel. The pool in the MGM Grand is pretty good, not the best but good for family like us.

I forgot what they are looking at inside Bellagio.

That's all for our 3 days Vegas trip. 

Ah B finally quit pacifier, it involved 1 hour of crying and soothing and explaining. It happened on the way back home.  While we are riding back home, I asked ah B if I can throw his pacifier away thru the window and he said yes, then I immediately pretend I threw it out the window.  He saw me but didn't react until he asked for it and I told him I already threw it away as he told me to.  Then he started crying for about an hour.  Since then he will still ask me for it when he goes to sleep but I will tell him that it's gone and he is a goodboy who doesn't eat pacifier.  He didn't have it for 1 week now.
