So, we just returned from an awesome weekend in Vegas with Jesse's brother Seth, his wife Kari, Jesse's sister
Ahna, and her boyfriend Nick. We were celebrating
Ahna's 21st birthday! We had such a great time; I can't even begin to describe it. I never thought I would want to go back to Vegas after my first time, but I was proven wrong; there is just no other city in the world like Vegas. Everything is just done over the top. The buildings are huge, the shows are amazing, 4 hours of sleep or less per night, the
Bellagio fountains...need I say more?
Here's the crew by the fountain outside of Paris. We were enjoying the 100 degree weather. 100 degrees in Vegas is nothing like at home. I didn't miss the humidity.
I couldn't resist putting in this picture of
Ahna and Nick. What a cute couple! It's hard to believe
Ahna is finally an adult in every sense! What happened to the little girl who spilled blue paint all over her white carpet? It's
ok, I like her more now!
After the buffet at the Mirage, we had to take a step outside before "The Beatles, LOVE" performance. We were so full. If you ever hit Vegas, go to this buffet. It was amazing and affordable. The Dutch would approve!
We think that we are just as good or even better performers than that in the actual show; however, med school and parenting will have to come first. We truly apologize. Maybe another time. Our moves are like no other.
After walking, walking, and yes, more walking, we decided to take a rest in the Venetian. Our feet deserved it. Plus, we were thirsty. We really enjoyed the time to just relax and visit.
In the mornings, we enjoyed being poolside! We stayed at a beautiful resort called the
Grandview of
Las Vegas (thanks to Greg's timeshare)! It was 80 degrees by 8 AM. It was awesome. Plus, we had 3 pools and 2
hot tubs at our disposal. We would then go back to our room, have a
colossal sandwich made by
Ahna, then take the shuttle to the strip. We still are confused about the case of the missing sandwich. Wasn't me...
Good '
ol public transportation. Vegas actually has a great bus system. We
maneuvered it quite easily. It was clean and pretty quick for the most part. Plus, it saved us many a mile on the strip. Our feet thank you, Deuce (the bus that drives the strip.) Although I was super excited to see Maverick when we returned, I was very sad the trip was over. We looked so forward to it. In the background my themesong echoed, "I hate when things are over..." Thanks for an awesome trip you guys. Happy Birthday Ahna. Love you lots.
