Mum & Craig's Visit

On Tuesday Mom, Mum and I had breakfast at the Peppermill before picking Craig up from the airport. I love this place. It has all the old Vegas tackiness and huge portions of food.  That was it for the day.

On Wednesday, Mum, Craig and I dropped Lynn off early in the morning for her return to Charlotte. We then spent the rest of the day doing stuff around town on Mum and Craig's last full day in the US. 

We started at the Gun Store where Craig and I did some sharp shooting. It's amazing that we foreigners love to come here, seeing as though guns are banned at home. Afterwards we drove down to the Silverton Casino and had lunch inside the Sundance Cafe. Once we were done with lunch, we sent Craig into heaven - the Bass Pro Shop. All your fishing, boating and hunting needs under one roof. Actually, even I was impressed. This place was huge! And could almost lead to a new hobby (except we're in the middle of the desert, where it is stinking hot all summer long). We drove home via the Red Rock area so they could see another side of this town. For our last meal we went to Aria, as I had a comp meal at American Fish. This was much better than I thought it would be. I'm not a huge seafood eater (so I had a steak) but everyone enjoyed their meals. And the service was impeccable with a great, open atmosphere.

On their last day I had to work, but got to spend some of the afternoon with them before taking them out to the airport. I'm pretty sure they enjoyed staying with us, I know Amy and I loved having them here. I just hope Mum is kicking herself for waiting 10 years to come and see us, and will not wait so long to do it again.
