Vegas

OK well this is a update in a nutshell I had a interesting week at work last week, full of adventure and mishaps, but over all it was a nice week. Friday and Saturday were spent celebrating Rachel's birthday. Sunday I started my Vegas trip where I had a ordeal just getting TO Vegas. It was interesting for sure the plane had a computer issue and then a valve issue so we ended up getting off the plane. RUNNING to a flight leaving in 2 minutes. We got to Vegas about 3 hours later than expected, but it wasn't bad. We had fun walking the strip we ran into characters Woody from Toy story, Freddy Kruger, a fallen angel, Elvis, Joker, Scooby Doo, chicken, mini Elvis and a ton more I can't remember. We went to the M&M factory and coke store. Monday we went to the Kings Ransom Museum. This was the highlight along with Phantom. The kings ransom museum was in our hotel, and only $12 to get into. It was worth the price for the priceless time I had. I got to go in, and see personal items from Elvis. Things he collected and wore bedspread, and I think my favorite was the picture of Lisa his daughter who was 5. It said 'to my daddy' it was great. I got to meet Jimmy Velvet who was a personal friend of Elvis. He shared with me how fun and kind Elvis was he also shared how he was a practical joker as well. He also shared some of his personal stories of Bon Jovi. I then met Cyntha Pepper she worked with Elvis when she was 28 and he was 29 in 1964 making a movie called Kissing Cousins. She was so kind and share with us about how nice Elvis was, and that he was a good kisser. After this we went to Phantom, and I loved it. It was a different experience. I won't ruin it for anyone who might like to see it, but it was awesome, and more 'interactive' if you'd like to know details I'll happily share them in e-mail messages or face book messages. Tuesday we went to the Shark Reef this was cool we got to walk and see lots of creatures. I love water life and oceans and fish so this was so cool for me. I got to walk in this one area called shipwreck cove where it was like being under the ocean. All the fish and sharks it was SO AWESOME! then we went to Tournament of Kings it's a Joust dinner and show. It was about a hour and a half long. My love of Renaissance Festivals made this so much fun! I loved the food and the horses and the story. It was allot of fun and relaxing. Wednesday we came home other than a passenger being on jerk on the plane. It was a uneventful trip, and I am just catching up, and enjoying my next few days off of work. Resting my poor sore legs and feet. I have pictures on face book if your interested see them there. Until later enjoy :)
