Day 2 - Thursday, Feb. 12

After a good night's sleep, we got up the next morning and had a hearty breakfast. Lest I become repetitive, *every* meal that Sandra made us was hearty. She was determined to make me gain weight before I left, I'm sure of it. She is from Ecuador and is a fabulous and organized cook. Their house runs like clockwork - I am so envious. I really came home feeling like I need to get my act together after a few days with her!

Anyway, after breakfast, we went out car hunting with the kids and hit a bunch of used car places. We also drove down the Strip to see all the casinos, which was really interesting! We saw a couple of Suburbans we were interested in, but only drove one. We ate lunch at El Pollo Loco, which is like the McDonald's of Mexican food. It was OK though.

We headed back to Gary and Sandra's, but missed Gary, who works evenings at the Bellagio , where he does technical work for the "O" show. More on that later! When we got back, Vanessa was complaining of an ear ache and was taking a long nap. We hung out with Sandra, and I think I took a nap.

That night we just stayed around and hung out. We looked over AutoTrader guides and Tom called a couple people about 'burbans that were listed.
