After leaving Mesquite, we went to Vegas.
Matthew on our drive into Vegas: I notice that a lot of the billboards in Vegas are about law and lawyers. Do they really like the law in Vegas?
We stopped by Madame Tussauds.

Megan sprained her ankle at the very end of our jumping time. It swelled up a lot and bruising got much worse as the week went on. She was a trooper about it.
