A brake from reality...


Kevin and I decided to hop on a plain and go to Vegas for a long weekend and to celebrate Kevin's Birthday. We both really enjoy Vegas. Neither of us drink or Gamble (ok so if we are feeling frisky we do hit the penny slots, and would you believe Kevin won $30.00 on Pennies), but we still had a great time .

Kevin the High Roller


On this trip we went to Hoover dam, Kevin and I had such a great time we both love history and learning about the dam was so fun, Not to mention all of the "Dam" Jokes. We were able to take a tour of the power plant as well as inside of the dam. I highly recommend this it was amazing.





One evening we decided to go to Freemont street, this is the original "strip", they have a canopy that goes down the street that a laser shows plays on. Truly there is not much to do on Freemont besides the Laser show if you are not into drinking or gambling (this is Vegas after all) but it is worth the stop to see the show.

We also went to the Drew Carey show, Kevin is a fan of who's line is it anyways. The show was a comedy improve which was a lot like who's line, It was a great show.

More Vegas Pictures


It's amazing to see how Vegas has evolved to what it is now. AS Kevin and I were walking around you cannot help but notice all of the high rise condos being built on the strip. It makes me wonder what Vegas will evolve to next. I guess we shall wait and see.

*** Thank you Lynnette for watching the Girls, so Kevin and I could go.
