We did it up right: the strip, old Las Vegas, meals that cost more than a car payment, the Beatles LOVE Cirque du Soleil show, and, of course, a Britney concert. I even gambled some (by "some," I mean $1, which I put in an old-school quarter slot machine; I walked away with $3, and that's about as crazy as I get with money), and John gave me a brief respite from the mania of the city by driving me out to Red Rock Canyon. He and his girlfriend were great hosts, and it was a really, really fun time.
John called it "the most Vegas weekend he's had since he's lived there," and a weekend that Vegas is probably a once in a lifetime thing (oh my God, my hangover the day after Britney...). But I'm so glad we lived it up the way we did. I've been working a lot lately - at work, at home, on myself - and it was good for me to have a break from that. It was good to leave the real world behind for a little while...
...and few things are farther removed from reality than Las Vegas. :)
(Next time I go, forget the strip, it's all about the Grand Canyon!)
That sounds like so much fun : ) I'm glad you got a break and enjoyed yourself!

Dude, I heart Britney. That's girl's been through some shit, and I support the hell out of her. :D :D
DeleteAnd ha! No, definitely no news of any variety...I've actually been pretty down and feeling alone recently...but I did have a really good time on this trip, and I'm glad that was reflected in that photo. :) (What also might be reflected in that photo is the amount of beer my brother and I had drunk already at that point in the day. ;))
Good to hear from you, and glad you're moving along!! :)
