What Happens in Vegas Doesn't Stay in Vegas

On the way home from Disneyland we stopped off in some small town in California. It's pretty close to Death Valley. It has billboards claiming it has the world's Largest Thermometer. It does have a large thermometer but it has become a victim of the weather and it's hard to read. But they also have an Alien Beef Jerky store. So we stopped.

Here's Baby with the Crashed Alien Spacecraft. Thank Goodness it crashed on impact and isn't working or he might be snatched!

They also have the Mad Greek restaurant. I remember seeing a few in California. But none were quite as awesome as this one.

I love it. It reminds me of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Loved that movie.

Then we stopped in Vegas on our way home. Not to gamble away the rest of our money but to visit my parents. They took us downtown because the boys wanted to see the Lions at the MGM. I was okay with that because that meant I could go to the M&M store and Coke World!

When we got to Coke World they offered to take our photo with the Coke Bear. They were nice enough to take one with my camera and then they used their camera. The boys promptly went upstairs to see them. For the low price of $40 we could get one big one and a couple wallet photos. In retrospect I should have bought them. They would have made awesome pictures to put in our Christmas Cards.

And the Answer Is...

As many of you know, I love Math. Math is not your enemy, it's your friend! It can help in so many ways. When I worked at Target as a cashier in my college days (the first time around) I used to race the cash register in figuring out change to ease the boredom. I know, I'm really weird. But I will not delve into my love of Mathematics. Instead, I will show you this sign I walked past the other day at K mart. Instantly I was puzzled by the ad. I pondered the mathematics of this ad in my head for a while before I went back and took a picture. I didn't think I could be right, but...(drum-roll please)

3 for $13.00 is $4.33 each. According to the sign the regular price is $4.29. Hope you didn't buy any Coke on sale this week at K mart!
