Alice, I miss you so much. When I called today and you were upset because you heard my voice but I wasn’t there in person it made me miss you even more. I know that you’re having fun with Nanny and Grandpa Tom and I’m having fun with Daddy, but I miss my special girl. Here’s what Mommy and Daddy have been up to here in Vegas. First of all, I’m not a big fan of Vegas and probably won’t come back, definitely not while pregnant. The smoke and alcohol and flushing money down the drain is just not for me. Our room at the Imperial Palace was not worth taking a picture of and was small, uncomfortable and a little scummy. Our room at the Mirage, however, was beautiful, comfy and first class. Thanks Uncle Bo! There is a marble tile entry way and to the left is a sitting area with TV and couch. To the right is the bed and another tv that comes up from a cabinet at the end of the bed. There are two bathrooms which is awesome too. On the second day we were here I got the following 2 desserts: Talk about huge, the picture doesn’t do it justice, but that chocolate covered macaroon is like 6 inches tall and it is sitting on a layer of chocolate mousse. There is a white tiger and dolphin sanctuary in our hotel. You would have loved to see the tigers, here is a picture of one. Isn’t he beautiful. I know if you had seen him you would have told me what a tiger says, “roar!” Today we went to the Las Vegas Hilton to see the Star Trek stuff. I know that you don’t know what Star Trek is, but it’s like Sesame Street is for you, but for Mommy and Uncle Buddy. Here is a picture of Mommy and Daddy in front of the exhibit. I know that you don’t know what they are, but here are some pictures of the exhibit and the large models of the different ships from Star Trek. Here are pictures from where Mommy and Daddy waited in line to buy our tickets, there is the Enterprise, Voyager and a Klingon Bird of Prey. Hey, you may grow up to be a fan, so I want to make sure you know your stuff! After we toured through the museum, where there was a detailed timeline and costumes/props from the show as well as an attraction that simulated a Borg attack, we ate lunch at Quarks Bar from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. We had fun and bought you a little shirt that says Star Fleet Academy on it. I can’t wait for you to wear it! The last pictures from the Star Trek exhibit were out at the entrance again. One is a life-size figure of a Klingon Warrior woman and the other is the Borg Queen. Both strong women, but probably not the kind of strong woman role models Mommy would like you to have. They’re a little on the rough side for me. After we left the Hilton we went to the Paris to walk around. It was beautiful inside. There were stained glass ceilings and fountains and fun little shops. Daddy and I stopped for dessert and you would have loved to have a “bite” of Mommy’s - it had strawberries in it. Tonight we went to see the show “Ka” and it was wonderful. I really enjoyed it and think that you might have liked it too. There was lots of music and fire and dancing. Well, it’s late little girl and Mommy has to get up early tomorrow so I can come home and give you lots of hugs and kisses. I can’t wait! Love, Mommy
