Vegas


Chez and I just flew back from Vegas today. We had soooooo much fun. It was probably our best trip yet. The first day we rented a Dodge Charger (which to us was pretty awesome). We ate out at IHOP (again, to us it was awesome. I love diner food thanks to Guy Fiery on the Food Network!) That night we decided to head to some casinos on the strip to spend a little money or rather to give away our money but all for entertainment purposes. Well.........instead of giving away our money, we racked up $800 dollars worth in two hours with luck. Chez hit about three 3 of a kinds at a game called Three Card Poker, and I hit a straight flush. With the money we won, we left and went to bed for the night and thought about how we would spend it. Of course, Chez and I bought ourselves some clothes at the enormous outlet mall then we bought show tickets to the Blue Man Group and the Tale of Kings. The Blue Man Group was a very strange show but we really liked the Tale of Kings. That was really fun and silly. We also met up with some friends and ate at a super delicious brunch buffet with crab, shrimp, sushi, and basically you name it. So, needless to say, we had a ball with the money we won. We had a little left over after that so we played a few more table games in the casino. We spent our mornings hanging out in tubes going around the lazy river at the resort and swimming. We had such a blast and I am a little sad to be home already. I am also really happy to be home with my little guy too. I missed him a ton. Grandma took excellent care of him and she really enjoyed the bonding time she had with him. Since Chez and I have been to Vegas numerous times, we just don't take pictures anymore. However, we did get a picture of one of the performers in the Blue Man Group. Hopefully that's good enough!

Hey there! So yeah...the housing market sucks! Ha! ha! We are building and just hope that the townhouse sells before our house is done. fingers crossed! We went to vegas last summer and I have been to both of those shows you went to! So fun...there's nothing like the Blue Man Group! Good luck selling!!

I'm glad you had a great time in Vegas! I can't wait till we leave. This week has been taking forever, even though I've been super busy.

I've heard the you either love Blue Man Group or you don't, so I'm a bit skeptical but we'll go into it with an open mind since we know what to expect.

I can't believe Chez won 800 bucks. We never really gamble when we go to Vegas, but maybe we should start!!

Vegas, here we come!
