Fremont Street

We just had so much fun in Vegas and I took so many pictures while were there so here is more about our vacation!
So the hotel didn't offer contentail breakfast (for as much as you pay to stay at those hotels they should give you some kind of breakfast. yea right I know I am dreaming)
Anyway most mornings we ate light stuff. The boys mostly wanted Krispy Kreme Donuts. Mac had Starbucks and I ate oatmeal. Everything was so expensive. (that's Vegas for you though)


Kode loved this hat. He found it on one of the first days we were there. He pondered about buying it. We went to the shop that sold them and he tried it on a few times. Then finally he decided not to buy it. He said he didn't think he would use it after we left Vegas. (smart boy. I don't know how many times I have purchased something and then got it home and then decided that I really was not going to use it anymore)

So one of the days when we were there we decided to ride the city bus to the old part of Vegas.
(where Vegas became Vegas)

Fremont Street!
 Well lets just say that the bus ride was an experience in itself! Yes I realize that it was a city bus and its nothing like driving our selves or even taking a taxi but WOW what an experience.
The bus was having issues. We didn't realize it until we were seated and on our way. The bus had no air on it, and the bus was so full of people. I swear everyone was breathing so hard. We were all sweating and it was beginning to stink. Not to mention the bus stopped every block and people kept getting on. With no seats to sit in and no where to stand they were still piling in! An hour later we finally made it to the end of the strip. Yes I said an hour later. That's how long it took us to get there. I was crazy. Then the bus driver got on the speaker phone and said "there is a minor problem with this bus and everyone has to get off here" No kidding there is a problem. We are all about to die cause we have no air. Well I was a little pissed cause we had been on the bus for a while and then we were just kicked off. That sucked. So we waited for about 10 minutes and then boarded another bus. We just wanted to get to Fremont Street.
 
Well we finally made it to Fremont Street.


As we were walking down Fremont Street. We saw that people were on a zip line. So Mac and Chealsi were curious how much it was to ride on the zip line and where do you get on it. So needless to say Mac, Chealsi, Bry and I rode on the zip line!
(kode had no desire to do it)
 So we found the area where you pay and suit up for the zip line. It was only $15.00 and you had to weigh 70 lbs. So Bry was able to do it with us! He was so excited!
So here we are just getting ready to suit up!

and here we are on the other side just finishing up!
(Chealsi, Mac, Me, and Bry)


They took pictures of us while we were on the zip line and then a group picture at the end. Chealsi and I decided to purchase one! We all had a great time on the Zip line!
 
Then we roamed Fremont Street for a while. Then we went to one of the buffets there. It was a pretty good one. 
 
 Then we were back on the bus again!
(the ride back to the strip was a much better ride. not near the problems)
 
Next stop was Circus Circus! I will post about our next stop soon!

I love Fremont Street. It reminds me of when Peggi and I were little and would go spend a week with Aunt Judi and her and Uncle Paul would take us there. Looks like you guys did it all
