VEGAS, baby!

So, since my parents are awesome, they wanted to have my dad's official retirement party in Las Vegas. We went Mar 2-5. It was a great trip! I hadn't been to Vegas with my parents in about 8 years and that time was the only time I had been with them where I could gamble.

B and I love Vegas. Sadly (or not), it's probably where we've traveled most together as a couple. :) We definitely have the disease. We always think we'll win it back. And we usually do OK. Never a really huge profit, but if we're lucky, we come back with our gambling budget mostly intact.

Since this was my dad's retirement party, it was us, them, my brother, 3 of my aunts/significant others and my grandma. Big trip, tons of fun. My family also, very much has the "disease". We get there at 9, join them as they're finishing up dinner and then they were like...ok, see you in the morning, good luck! And they all spread out to gamble. Even my grandma! They all mostly did slots except me, b, my brother and my uncle. And somehow, they all kept winning. My grandma was up almost $400 on Saturday! From penny slots. Every time I put money in a slot, it was gone. Craps was crappy (haha) luck as well. We finally started winning on Sunday playing blackjack.

Anyway, here are a few non-people photos. It was a great trip, loved being with my family and really had an amazing time with them.

Ok, this is a terrible one of me, but it has a person, so I'll include it. I really thought I might get lucky here:

The Strip

...and last but not least, the always impressive Bellagio fountain. Seriously, I love it, every time!
