"Las Vegas baby..........."

 We had a nice little 4 day Vegas getaway. Well kind of. We were there for business, but that doesn't me we can't have some fun too! Clem and Barb went to and we had a great time. The guys did there business/convention during the day, so Barb and I had time to play until they got back in the evening.
 We stayed at Treasure Island. Loved it. Had a great view. Beds were comfy and had a great pool. And a Starbucks in the hotel. What else could you ask for? Oh..........and every morning before the guys had meetings they brought us up our coffee...................

 Nighttime view of the strip from our room.
 The pool was lovely.............
 I sent this pic to my sister one day when she asked what I was doing. Sorry. Didn't mean to make you jealous but this is what I was doing! Enjoying my coffee by the pool. Weather was about 100 degrees but I stayed in the shade so it was perfect.
 We had a view of the strip and our hotel pool. Life is good.
 Barb and I traveled great together! Layed by the pool in the morning with our coffee. Read. Ordered salad and drinks by the pool when lunch rolled around. Watched people. Visited. Was great! By afternoon when it started getting hot we went up to our rooms to shower and get ready. Every time we texted each other to see if the other was ready. It was always perfect timing. I think we should start planning for next year. (I hope the convention is always in Vegas!)

 We did some shopping while the guys were "working". Found this awesome candy store. I love the asthetics and colors and smells of candy stores!



 Barb and I were excited because we found our wine at our hotel bar! Had some good meals too.
 Walked around a bit.
 Saw some awesome shows. This drag queen show was amazing. The guys seemed a little skeptical at first. But the costumes and music were fantastic.
I was in heaven.
Drag queens in Vegas!!!!
 We also saw Dancing with the Stars in Vegas. AMAZING! And somehow we got lucky and got front row seats!!!!!!! We all loved it!
Great trip. Nice to get away for a few day. Came right back to the crazy. You can get away from it for a few days, but it's still waiting for you when you get back!!!! Flight coming home was a nightmare. 3 hour delay in airport. Moved terminals. Had a crazy lady escorted off the plane the row in front of us while we were on the tarmac ready to take off. Bumpy ride coming out of Vegas. But we made it home alive!
