Las Vegas
2023

One of the neat traditions the Isaka side of Deb's family has is to visit Las Vegas when one of the kids and, now, grandkids turns 21. Jordyn, unfortunately, turned 21 in the midst of the pandemic, so going to Las Vegas wasn't in the cards back then. Finally, this year Jordyn, Mom, Aunty Lara, Aunty Kathy, Uncle Derek, Grandma, and Grandpa all went to Vegas so she could finally discover what the allure was. Jordyn had a great time sampling fruity alcoholic drinks, learning how to play craps and blackjack, and seeing a real live Las Vegas show. It was a fun way to become an "adult" and share some quality time with family.

Jordyn and Mom landed in Las Vegas in the late afternoon. After Uncle Derek picked them up at the airport they headed straight to the hotel to unpack and meet up with everyone else. Since there wasn't much they could do they got some dinner and then tried their luck at the casino. Jordyn hadn't any experience with gambling, so they taught her the rules of the games using machines.

The next day was filled with more of the same, except this time they would check out some of Las Vegas' world renowned restaurants and take in a live show.

The last full day included more gambling and eating (mostly eating).
