Mattocks Family News

Well day 1 is already over :-((  We arrived at our hotel and boy was it busy. It is connected to the convention center and there were 3 or 4 events going on there and then there was a Prom here at the hotel. This place is enormous! Tonight we are sharing a room with dad and mom. They are sleeping away, Trav is showering and so I thought I would add another chapter to my book for the family. :-) We decided to walk to the restaurant strip, I think that's what it was called. Anyways we were told that there are enough restaurants down there to eat out for a very long time and not eat at the same place.. We could take the trolley for $1.25 each or walk the mile down there. So we put our walking shoes on and decided to start this vacation with some exercise and boy am I ever glad we did, I think we walked more than a mile before we decided on where to go. Ended up at Canyon Grill. It was very Good! We left over full and were glad for the exercise back, took a detour and challenged to run up the convention center stairs, I lost and lost oxygen very quickly! But by the time we got back to the hotel our food felt all settled and I didn't have that barfy feeling anymore. Hahah So dad and mom headed back to the room and Trav and I went exploring. We found a fooseball table and he kicked my you know what, I got 1 point. I used to could do pretty good at that game. So then we played a game of pool and I just barely lost. But as my dad says, close only counts in horseshoes. :-p That is all for now. 11:25pm here, only 8 back home and so I'm still awake but dad will be up at the crack of dawn and we are all together so I better get to sleep.
