Spring Break 2015 - Vegas, Hoover Dam and a Ton of Driving!

The "Gunner's" Idris's club soccer team had a college showcase in Las Vegas during spring break, so we all decided to go and watch.   It was a stressfull (to watch),exciting and successful weekend, with his team winning the championship game for the U-16 boys age group.  Many college coaches were watching the games.

The Vegas lights, blurry but bright!

The Gunner's gathered around the coach as he gave out the gold medals at the end of the championship game.  They played 5 games in 3 days!

We spent the majority of the trip on the soccer field or in the hotel sleeping however the kids behaved and got to swim in the hotel pool every once in a while.  On the way out of Las Vegas the traffic was real slow, so slow in fact that we travelled 20 miles in 4 hours.  We took the only detour and saw the Hoover Dam.

Heading back to the car

Pat Tillman Bridge that took nearly an hour to cross because of an accident 5 miles up the road.  What should have been an 8 hour drive home became a 12 hour drive home. 

 

We slept most of the next day. 

 

 

Glad to be home!
