Vegas!

Ah Vegas... the lights, the sites, but most importantly for us- the family time. Kenny's Uncle Jerry, Aunt Kathy and cousins Brett and Jerry Jr, who live in Illinois, go to Vegas once or twice per year. Since Kenny works in Vegas a lot it is a perfect opportunity for us to meet up and spend time with them.

This week we spent Wednesday - Friday in Vegas- I took vacation, but poor Kenny had to work. Even with him working we had enough time to visit the buffets, see a show (Defending the Caveman), gamble a little and just hang out with his awesome family.

The first day we went to the Paris hotel buffet where they serve French food! This was really fun for me because I loved the Julie and Julia movie so much and am reading the Julie & Julia challenge book right now. It was quiet and experience to try all those"frenchy" foods-- although to be honest I didn't like much of it and either did Kenny. But hey we tried it!!

The guys like to go to Boulder Station Casino (off the strip) since they have $3 craps tables. We went there one afternoon and all of us (including me and Kathy!) played for about 4 hours! At one point I was down to my last $1, but ended up making most of it back. I think Kathy ended the trip down a whopping $1.50!

Anyway, the rest of the time Kathy and I spent hanging out in the hotel room while the guys gambled. Their suite was not just any room either! It was a beautiful Terrace suite with an amazing view of New York New York

and the Exaliber hotels. The balcony even had a Jacuzzi on it!

It was a fun trip and we can't wait to meet up with them next time.
