My New car and Vegas, Baby!


Brent and I flew down to L.A. last week to pick up my new (used) car. We had made reservations to stop in Vegas on the way home...we stayed at the Rio...it was pretty fun. It's been a long time since we've been to Vegas, but it hasn't changed much! The Rio was huge and we had a really nice suite there. We went to a big Seafood Buffet while we were there...it was expensive, but the food was awesome! We had prime rib, lobster, shrimp, and a ton of other stuff. The deserts were to die for! We also went to a Penn & Teller show, their theater is located in the Rio, so they offered us some discounted tickets. It was pretty good...glad we didn't pay full price for it though!


The weather was really cold and windy while we were there...we had taken our suits and hoped we could hang out on the sandy beach and swim...but the 41 degrees and 40 mph winds did not allow it!! But I took the picture anyway! We went over to the Paris Casino and we rode up in the Eifle Tower there. The Casino was really pretty (imagine!) and it was fun to see the sights of Las Vegas from the top...but VERY windy and cold...so we didn't stay long!!


Chippendales was also located in our resort...It would have been fun to see Billy dance (j/k) but Brent didn't agree with that... But I got a picture of the sign anyway!

WOW!! The car, the trip, Vegas -- the whole ball of wax!! What a fun time the two of you had -- "empty nesting" isn't too bad, huh?
We're happy you had a nice trip -- and the car looks GREAT.
See you soon -- IF we ever get it all done here. Lots of shifts, lots of dinners, lots of packing, lots of cleaning, lots of "good-byes".
Love You!!!!
