Vegas!


Nothing like a free trip to Vegas (well free hotel stay at the gruesome expense of an endless time-share presentation)! We went with David and Hollie. We had a fabulous time! We did a lot of relaxing and a fair amount of eating and overall, had a lot of fun!

Colette and I flew down in the morning and were about to satisfy our (time-share) obligation early so that we had the rest of the weekend to relax. For those who are curious, we are still time-share-less. Although the idea appeals to us, we're just not there yet. We want to focus on getting a family (children) before we worry about how to spend time with them. And that was our excuse we used for them.

Here I am with Caesar! I had to climb up on the statue to get the picture with him. No trip to his palace is complete without a photo op!

We went to the Shark Tank - Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. It was quite impressive, and surprisingly extensive for a hotel. Of course this is Vegas - everything is bigger in Vegas. We had a lot of fun there.

Here is an artistic view of our hotel that we stayed at. This is a picture from the pool. Alas, I have no pool pictures to share in a public forum. Now if we were water skiing then that would be different...! It's time to get the boat out - it's boating time!

Looks like a lot of fun! Next time I go I need to go with some people and enjoy what is there. I would love to see the tournament of the kings ( is that what it is called with the jousting and fighting?)

Yeah we were just there too! That is funny because on the way home reed and i were saying that we didn't see anyone that we knew on our trip like you usually do. I wish we would have ran into you guys!
