   *in a hurry*
This will be the last day of the long posts. ^_^ Hehe. Um, not much to talk about concerning today's events, so I'll just head right on to the trip. Also, I'm hurrying because my mom's taking me back-to-school shopping in a little bit. Now, on to the story! *lol* ^_^;;

Sunday: Couldn’t sleep last night, as usual, but this time it was scary. I couldn’t even stay in bed. I was thinking a lot, about school, missing Inuyasha and Wolf’s Rain (yeah… ^_^;;), and other things I forgot already. I paced around the room to pass the time, watched the Olympics, and then finally got to bed at around 12 am. =_=

Mom woke me up at 9:30, she said to get ready because we were going out again. A bit earlier, though, they (mom and dad) went down to the casino. ^_^ (They told me they lost $150 on the slot machines. >_> Um… yeah.) Anyway, while they were playing, my sister, cousin, and I got ready to meet them for brunch. We went to a buffet for that, and then went back to the room to get our stuff because we had to check out at 12.

Once we were out, we parked the car at the Treasure Island hotel parking, and then went inside the hotel to check it out. It was pretty cool. We rode a tram that took us to The Mirage, another hotel near it, soon after. The Mirage was beautiful. ^_^ They even had a place there where you can see the white tigers. But they weren’t there at the time. We bought souveniers instead. ^_^;; My mom bought us three colorful stuffed toy monkeys. It’s adorable! =^^= I’ll get a pic of it if I can.

When we were done there, we walked all the way to the other side to another hotel. The Venetian is done in a Venice, hence the name, theme. They even had gondolas inside and out of the hotel. ^_^ Lots of neat stuff there, but the one thing I won’t forget was the freakishly realistic-looking manequin of Luciano Pavarotti. I actually thought it was real and that it was just some guy dressed up as him! ^_^ *lol* Oh, and outside of the hotel was a wax museum, but we didn’t have enough time to go there because we had to leave already.

After all of that, we headed for the road again. Slept during most of the 2-hour drive to the rest stop. When we got there, my mom wanted to go shopping so we all agreed to go with her. We needed some back-to-school (ugh) stuff anyway. That was sort of a waste of time, though, since we didn’t buy anything but a teddy bear for my cousin. Ate dinner there, too, because my aunt wasn’t going to cook for us when we came back. ^_^;; And, um, we got home around 10 pm.

All in all, this was a great trip. It may have been short, and it may have had its downs, but I still enjoyed my time. A fitting end of the summer, I suppose. ^^ Okay, well, take care! Have a good day! *hugs everyone tightly* Thanks for reading through my long posts, by the way. *passes out lots of cookies and brownies and all the other sweets I can find here* Here’s the pic!

[EDIT:] HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIMMI-SAN!!! I hope you have a fantastic one!



*sigh* I want to just sit back and relax too. Unfortunately, I have to panic. School starts on Thursday!!! O___O
