Vegas Vacation

Brent had a convention in Vegas this week, so we decided to head out there Friday and make a little vacation out of it.  For two people who don't gamble, we had an awesome time just taking in this fantasy land.  Neither of us had been, so we did a lot of walking to check out all the hotels.

We hit the streets within the first hour of our arrival.  We were with four other couples most of the weekend, but Friday evening we did our own thing.

The Fountain Show at The Bellagio

 This volcano was hot!  I was amazed at how much heat it produced.  The nights were very chilly, so it felt great.

 The Bellagio-We started out early Saturday morning and were going to have the buffet here, but decided we couldn't eat 60 dollars worth of breakfast.

 New York, New York

Brent liked the steaks and jellybeans.

 That hotel went on forever!

 "Come on, girls!"- We spent a lot of time with Jeff and his wife, Haley.  The guys had to keep stopping so we could take pics.  Haley had never been to Vegas either, so we made a good pair.

 The Mandalay-We watched the Aggies beat Alabama with all the other Aggie couples.  I've never had more fun watching a game.

 Saturday night we got all dressed up and celebrated my birthday early with a nice dinner. Then we saw O at Bellagio.  I wasn't my usual photographer self and forgot to get a pic of us that night.  Oops.

 I was a little sad on Sunday to leave this view (from our balcony), but I was more excited to get home and see Abby and Caroline.  It was the perfect weekend get away.  Just to be on a plane gave me a thrill.  It had been 4 and a 1/2 years, so it was time!
