Vegas and Back

Last week we traveled to Las Vegas for a quick escape. Mom and Dad picked us up at the airport and drove us back to their Oasis. For the next two nights we dined at a great buffet and took in a show. We stayed at the Planet Hollywood Casino. The photos hardly do the room justice. Our little room with a view was fantastic. We rode the NY NY Roller Coaster and toured the M & M Shop. The third day came way too quickly. Not wanting to waste a moment, we drove out to Red Rock Canyon and enjoyed the sun and colored rocks until the time Julia was to be at the airport. Then we dashed to the airport, and I left her standing at the departures curb. I hate that about our airports now. Hours later she flew home as planned while I drove south on I-15 to meet up with the parents and drive back to Seattle. To live in Seattle you need to really love it. The weather everywhere was sunny and warm until Tacoma - here the roads were getting wet and by the time we got to Seattle, it was truly raining. Yeah Seattle, it is good to be home.
