Pawn Stars

While we were in Las Vegas, we wanted to go by the pawn shop that is featured on History Channel. It's a show called Pawn Stars about 3 generations of family who work together in this pawn store on the strip in Vegas. The show is kind of cool because people are always bringing in historic items like Civil War weapons and money, etc. They also bring in fakes and so it's fun to watch because the pawn stars know most of the time when something is fake and they tell you why.

Anyway, Old Man is the grandfather, Rick is the father and Big Haus is the son. There's also a childhood friend of Big Haus named Chumlee. They are kind of like tweedle dee and tweedle dumb (although I think they're actually pretty smart and just play dumb for the show). We wanted to meet them in person, and their sign says they are there from 9-3 weekdays. We got there at 1:00 pm on a Friday but they weren't there. Sarah was really disappointed, especially after waiting in line to get in the store! But some of these pictures are of objects that were featured on the show at least.
