Waking up in Vegas...

On the way to Vegas. I just passed Chris working at RDU. Kind of weird. I looked and there he was. Wish he was going too. Maybe another time. With all the wedding chapels out there, maybe I could knock him out and make him marry me? You think? Another reunion of sorts....facebook style! Alicia used to be my boss at American Express. When we were outsourced, she moved to Phoenix and even though I had gone out there a couple of times after that, it had been probably 10 years since I had seen her. We found each other, again, through Facebook! I think my bucket list is to reunite with all the people I haven't seen in years... I guess thats another post! Alicia and her friends had gone to Vegas in November but when she asked me, I couldn't get the time scheduled. My schedule is worked out 6-12 weeks in advance, so if I don't plan ahead (way ahead) it usually doesn't work out! I ended up throwing out a date in March and the next thing I knew, Alicia had it set up. The girls were going to be tracked out, so we made it a long weekend. The countdown was on..... You think I would forget Bob? On a trip to Vegas? No way...what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...don't worry Bob knows the slogan! The flight attendant loved helping me out with the pictures.

The first place we hit was Fremont Street (Old Vegas). The girls would love it! The city that never sleeps. I can see why! Fremont Street has screens the entire length of the boardwalk. At certain times they play songs with coordinating songs. Pretty cool and loud! We got to see about 4 different videos! Of course it was NCAA tournament time, and as I turned around in the Stratosphere, these guys walked in, so, of course I had to get a pic! And then I sent it to Mike! Patty, played for WVU in 74. And come to find out, her nephew goes to school with Brianna at Charleston Catholic. What a small world! I definately wasn't used to the 0900 basketball game start times...so we headed down to the area they had set up with HUGE screens playing all the different games. We were, of course, wanting to watch the WVU game. As you can see, Bob was enjoying this Vegas trip! Vegas, at night! Beautiful! There's an energy level that is hard to describe. Its no wonder that no one ever sleeps. There's way too much to do! As days went on, I really wish Chris would have been here. I hope that one day I can just blurt out how much I miss him. This trip would have been GREAT with us just being here. I took a ton of pictures but wanted to get some at night with all the lights.

Outside the Bellagio, waiting on the fountain show. We got to see several during the day and at night. Totally awesome, and to some great music. Of course, I HAD to get a picture of this store! Hard Rock dude, loves Bob! I told the girls Elvis was still alive...they didnt believe me even after I showed them this picture!

Wait are we in NYC? Oh no, thats New York, New York. Its amazing how each hotel tries to outdo the others. They are all beautiful!

Stratosphere with the lovely rides on top! Highest point in Vegas! Next stop.....the TOP!

We also went to a Jeff Dunham show. It was hilarious! All in all we had a blast! Definately want to go back! Maybe next time I can drag Chris and then drag him through a wedding chapel. Hopefully I will come back and add some more...but for now, I need to get many posts posted!
