Las Vegas
Some of you dedicated readers will know that my wife and I have been around on our blogs for quite some time. One of the biggest reasons is because of our wonderful trip to Vegas. While we have been home this week, I have found myself spending alot of time playing catch up at work. But enough about that boring stuff. You really want to hear about Vegas. First off you need to know that my wife and I haven’t been on a vacation since our honeymoon over 6 years ago. So when we say we needed this vacation, we really mean it. On this vacation I also left behind my laptop and didn’t carry a cellphone. This is quite a big thing for me as I am “connected” most of the day to one or the other. This trip was so much fun that I think I will actually go back to Vegas again. The Cirque Du Soleil show we saw was absolutely amazing, the lights of the strip, the Bellagio fountains, the lights and sounds of Freemount Street all made this trip great. However, what truly made this trip was being able to do whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted, and doing it just the two of us. It gave us some great time together to reconnect, to talk about where we’ve been and where we are going. We were able to dream like we did when we where just dating. We where so blessed to be able to have this trip. It was perfect timing as life has felt quite stressful lately. But God definitely knew we needed this break…..back to Vegas….
Buffets, poker, shopping at outlet malls (which wasn’t as good as we hoped for), walking, lots of walking (actually I figured that in one day we easily walked 10km up and down the strip). While Dawn seemed to have better success at the poker table and I seemed to get bad beat after bad beat (if you don’t understand that term then you aren’t a poker player) it was still lots of fun to play in a real casino, which I hadn’t done before. While I was abit nervous at first I quickly relaxed and had a great time. It was well worth the money.
The thing I will miss the most of Vegas though…the 25 degree temperatures and sitting outside in a hot tub. I know I’ve lived in Canada all my life but I just don’t like winter. Maybe God will call me to a warmer climate some day. Until then, I am praying for a mild winter. While I could tell more stories I think I will have to stop here. The other stories might incriminate me…
