Leaving Las Vegas...

Here is the slideshow I was working on the weekend.  If I wasn't for my sister-inlaw Becky, there wouldn't have been ANY pictures of me in this.  I was taking a lot of pictures you see. 

Vegas was fun, but the little getaway had a very S L O W start.  You see, due to weather conditions, (lightning storm) our little commuter plane (the smallest plane I've ever been on--you could actually see the pilot from your seat) had to make a stop in Fresno, California.  So, what should have been only a 1 hour and 15 minute flight, ended up being a 5 hour flight--not fun. 

But we got there anyway, and we did have a very nice time.  My husband got to see his brother for the first time in many years, and I even got to meet him for the first time.  It was a nice visit, but too short of a vacation; but alas-aren't they all?! 

Wherever we went, we saw advertisements for Donny & Marie...  Their toothy smile is plastered all over the Flamingo.  I was very impressed by the Flamingo--nice pool, and the best margaritas on Earth--of course they were a bit pricey.  $10 each, but, man...so yummy!!  Elton John is still preforming there, and hopefully will still be there next year.  (I'm making plans for my daughter's 21st birthday.)  Cher and Bette Milder is also there right now as well.  Didn't see any shows--no time to, but may be next time!
