January

This specific month on this specific year has been a long time coming for me!

I think there is a tendency for most people to dread this year....

But I was counting down the days!

 

I TURNED THE BIG 4-0.

FORTY YEARS.

 

Scott and the kids treated me to dinner at the Brown Bottle.

 

 And an indoor bonfire....

 and a trip to Vegas!

Ok, the trip Scott won from work for being a top sales guy.

But as far as I was concerned....it was for me ;)

 

We did a little 4-wheeling in the desert...

 had a wonderfully scrumptious dinner...

 placed some bets....

 saw a cirque de soleil show...

 all while staying on Freemont Street.

I would be ok not staying there again.

Scott and I have learned we much prefer the main strip

because we are not quite the party animals it takes to be in this part of Vegas.

 This is the pool at our hotel.

You could go down a slide that went through the middle of a shark tank.

It was closed until the day we were leaving.

Of course.

 and, the whole time we were in Vegas...

Pop came and stayed with the kiddos.
