Family side of Vegas

Postby asirimarco » Sun Dec 07, 2008 11:38 am

I know I said no more from Vegas but last night we went over to the Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Cactus Garden. If you are ever in Vegas be sure to go there. During the week days you can watch them make their signature chocolate candy and you can walk around the cactus garden outside. Worth the trip. Any way we went over that last night as I wanted to get some pecan brittle (to melt in your mouth delicious) and see the lights. Place was full of families walking around, Santa was there as was a choral group from one of the junior highs. Pleasant evening I want to share.

thought you might enjoy seeing another side of Vegas - yesterday was the Santa Run - going for record of most Santas in one place. Kind of a mini marathon. Today is the marathon - and half of Vegas is blocked off to traffic.

Have always wanted to go to Ethel M - as a chocoholic, I've been fighting it. I think next time I'm in Vegas during the holidays, that will definintely be on the books to go.

Do they have lights like that all year? Or is it just for Christmas?? What a beautiful sight!

Well, never say "last." That was a very pretty postscript. Thanks.
