Our last full day in LA I tried to shop. Since I didn't want a romper with sunflowers on it, I ended up shopping for Finn. American Apparel has the best kid clothes. Tosh has some t-shirts from there and I found Finn one that looked just like it. And I also found Finn a Tosh jacket...
He looks so adorable in his Tosh like clothes. Tosh looks less than enthused in this pic, but in real life he thought the jacket was super cool. Tosh just suffers from Bitchy Resting Face.
The day of check-out we thought we would get to mess around in LA. Instead we dealt with car troubles. Since it had been deemed fine earlier in the week, Tosh took it to the same dealer. They were very nice and helpful and told us they would get us on the road that day. The plan was for Tosh to take the car, go across street to get a rental, come get us and go mess around. What happened was Tosh texted me shortly before check-out time and says he forgot his credit card, money, and ID. Soooo, the Cadillac courtesy shuttle was nice enough to load up our car seat, bring Tosh to come get Finn and I and all of our luggage, and take us back to the dealership...
We had so much stuff with us and we had to put it in the waiting area of the dealership. Tosh said we looked like the Beverly Hillbillies busting up in there...
They had chips, waters, and a TV so it turned out to be okay. Turns out we had bad spark plugs. A few hours later we were on the road.
We drove though downtown LA and loved it. It has such a New York vibe. We were really interested in seeing more, but another trip I suppose...
As we were leaving town I said, "Want to go to Vegas?" Tosh said, "Yes." And off we went. The traffic from LA to Vegas is so crazy. What we thought might take four hours took eight plus.
We saw this pretty sky...
We saw this pretty sky...
Just like our last trip this direction, the plus side to having to sit in traffic was that it made us get to Vegas after dark. And like any good parents would do, we woke up Finn so he could see the lights. Wake up....Vegas baby!
Finn snoozing in Vegas...
I was glad we woke him because he thought it was really amazing. He went the first time when he was 2 and loved it. This time he had the same response....awe...
My favorite hotel is the MGM. We were able to get a last minute room at The Signature at MGM...
Finn said Vegas is his favorite place on Earth...
I get a little excited every time we get to Vegas too. It is magical with the lights and everything being over the top...
Family selfie...Vegas style...
Once we got to the hotel, we were a little excited and goofy...
and after a little rolling around on the bathroom floor...
lights out.
