Spring Break

This year we started spring break with a trip to Eugene for the last gymnastics meet of the season.  Deiana did very well and took two firsts and three seconds.  She is now moving up a level and will be working out 12 hours a week! 

After the drive home we headed to the airport for a trip to Las Vegas.  This trip was planned kind of at the last minute so we could go somewhere and enjoy some fun and most of all sun!  Being spring break many places were booked and flights expensive.  We were staying at the Circus Circus, because we thought it would be fun for Deiana.  However the pool was not at all to my liking (I'm being nice here) and the hallway had an unbearable smell.  The rest of the Hotel, and its location were just my idea of a Las Vegas experience.  We made the most of it for a couple days then I got on the Internet and got a great deal on the Luxor, so we moved on up and it was the best decision ever.  Night and day difference!  We then enjoyed the sights and activities on the other end of the strip, and the pool was beautiful.  All in all it was a fun trip  with perfect weather, but the food was quite expensive and for Deiana there was a lot of walking and she seemed overstimulated a lot of the time.  Maybe somewhere more relaxing next year!

You can walk to Treasure Island from Circus Circus!
