Jared and his Green Friend
It has been a hot week here in Las Vegas. Before you think I was absolutely crazy to plan a trip out here this time of year (and perhaps I was!) my husband had a business trip so we decided to tag along.
Enjoying Las Vegas in 112+ degree weather has required some creativity. We spend more time just hanging out in our wonderful hotel room at the Desert Rose Resort in Las Vegas then we usually do on such adventures. We swim in the evenings and spent a morning bowling in an air conditioned casino.
The first day of our trip I had the crazy idea to drive out to Henderson and take the Ethel M Chocolate Factory Tour. The tour, frankly, was a bust. Although we arrived at 1:30 the workers must have been home on break or gone for the day. The factory was almost deserted. I enjoyed seeing all the machinery and redeemed myself in the eyes of my children by buying overpriced chocolate bars. They were delectible.

Here are some photos of the cactus garden. I enjoyed it immensely despite the heat. The kids were another story:

Happy Trails, Las Vegas
Some of my fellow travel bloggers are heading to TBEX and BlogHer in Las Vegas. Sadly, my travels are mostly over for the summer, and I won’t be joining them. If you are looking for some virtual travels, check out Delicious Baby’s Photo Friday .
Happy Trails,

Traveling in 112-degree heat would certainly be challenging! Looks like you had a great trip anyway
Sorry you won’t be at BlogHer and TBEX. It’s my first time for BlogHer, so it’s a little overwhelming to think about!
yum yum yum. there is a new m and m store in timesquare manhattan. it’s so nuts in there, you’re kids will love it!!!
Although we visited Vegas for a week last July, I had already booked a return trip before we left. MGM made me an offer I couldn‘t refuse: a $59 rate which included three free buffets a day.
