Viva Las Vegas

Whew-I'm tired!!! I am not complaining by any means-I am just exhausted from our whirlwind trip! Las Vegas...Sin City...I would agree with that! We had fun but were also ready to come home too!
We got there Friday morning at 9:15, checked in, walked around, and hit In & Out by 11 am. Brad couldn't wait to sink his teeth into a Double-Double. YUMMY-they have the best burgers in the West-if only they would come to Texas.
The rest of the weekend was spent walking, walking, walking! I got the best exercise ever for vacation-we must have walked 7-8 miles a day...my dogs were barkin!

Here's the highlight of the trip...Friday night my mother-in-law and I went to see Celine Dion! Now keep in mind that I like her in the very low key since not a member of the fan club by any means! However, this was THE best show I have ever seen. Actually it is tied with seeing Beauty and the Beast on Broadway when Tony Braxton was Belle, but that is another trip.
So, back to the incredible show...she was amazing...I actually cried (heavy tearing of the eyes no boo-hooing) TWICE because it was so moving. The first time was when she was singing "I'm Alive" - so awesome. And the second time was during her encore when she sang "What a Wonderful World". Everything was so beautiful and the dancers were excellent-they are choreographed by the same choreographer for Cirque De Soliel so they were very unusual but neat and extremely talented!

Well, that was just Friday and I could have gone home after that I was done! We did also see Danny Gans-very funny I just got sick and missed part of the show (which I think was because I ate a 2 lb lobster entree that was DELICIOUS but who eats that good on a daily basis??) We got to ride in a limo to that show because we went with a highroller friend of the Moore family. Finally we saw Cirque's "O"-very very amazing. How they do all that I will never know!

Vegas was fun and I am glad that I went but I can officially scratch it off my list and not go back - that is until Celine signs a new contract and has a new show...then I'm there. Maybe by then my lungs will have cleared and we will be emphysema free-man those casinos are smokey and we didn't even play that much! We came home with about ehh $30?? Nothing exciting but we didn't lose money!

When my mom-in-law sends me pics I will post some-we are so backwards and don't have a digital camera yet...not til kids...so give me a couple of days to get them posted!
