Since both Tadd & I had Christmas break of together we decided it would be the perfect time to squeeze a little mini trip in between the holidays. I had never been to Laughlin, so that's where we headed!
Laughlin is like a mini Vegas, without all the glitz, glamour, and "trash" on the ground. The people who go to Laughlin seem to be mostly retired and many come in RV's. The people were kind, and we felt safe to do as we pleased.
Behind all of the casino's is the Colorado River. There is a little path that winds around next to it that is lit and nicely landscaped and decorated. We walked the full length of the "boardwalk" intermittently entering casino's to warm up, eat, and earn a little cash.
It was so nice to be by fresh, moving water. To have seagulls, pigeons, and ducks surrounding us. We got some great footage of Sadie feeding the ducks. She was in her glory! The ducks of course were very friendly and came up very close to her.
We also saw some HUGE fish in the moat around the Colorado Bell (A hotel/casino that was built from a boat--or at least looks like one...not sure). We rode a cute little train that went over a little bridge and everything. Sadie loved that too. We ate some shrimp cocktail that Tadd was desperate to find and ecstatic when we did. We also got to go to the outlet mall. Who knew Bath and Body had an outlet? Killer Deals!!
We had a great time as a family taking walks by the river and enjoying each others company. It was the perfect trip and way to end our break together.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2009 BABY!!

Kara, I'm so glad Tadd took you to Laughlin. If I'm not mistaken, I think I'm the one that introduced Tadd to Laughlin! I love it, it's the coolest place, especially with that huge Colorado River. I'm so glad you went, and I bet Sadie Loved it. Luv, Kevyn
