Back from Vacation

Hello all!
Well it has been well over a week since my last update, and for good reason. Chad and I took our vacation last week. This year we opted for a smaller, more cost effective vacation. We drove to Las Vegas and spent three fun filled days there and then we made our way to Victorville to visit family and catch a few ball games. We had a great week together. Its funny because when you think of Las Vegas I know a lot of people think about gambling, drinking, and clubbing. Chad and I do none of these so we went to Vegas to soak in everything else. We had our anniversary dinner on top of The Startosphere at a restraunt called The Top of the World. It was amazing. You had a view of the whole city. The tables actually moved around so by the end of dinner we had roated around the entire building. The view of the strip was spectacular! The food was amazing and because it was our anniversary we got a free dessert. From there we walked the rest of the strip all the way back to our hotel The Luxor. We got caught in a thunder strom, but the rain felt great! Other things we did in Vegas were see The Titanic exhibit, The Ferrari/ Masarrati exhibit, saw the Cirque de Solie show KA, and visited the In-Out-Burger right off the strip. In-N-Out was complete with company store so we didnt leave without dropping a few bucks on some shirts and Christmas ornaments :) Other than that we walked the strip and visited the shops and hotels. There is so much to do there and I was sad to leave without seeing the lions in MGM or tasting the cokes from around the world in the coke store. Oh well, I guess we will have to go back one of these days!
After Vegas we made our drive to Victorville to visit with Chad's family. Both of his cousins have had babies, both of whom we had never met before. It was good to see everyone because we havent seen most of them since our wedding two years ago! The babies were fun and we didn't escape without a few suggestions about moving down there. Chad and I went to a Dodger game on Friday and then on Saturday most of the family joined us at the Angels game. It was cool because the Angels were playing the Twins, unfortuntally the Twins lost but we had a great time. We did visit these two ballparks for a reason, I will blog about that later.
We had a great week but we were both ready to get home and see our Milo girl. She was happy to see us too as she chewed us out the entire night for leaving her. I told her we wouldnt do that again for quite awhile.
Now I'm home and dreading the fact that I have to go back to work in two weeks. UG summer is just not long enough. Oh well I guess I'm lucky to have this time off at all.
Well thats all for now, I should be able to blog more this week. Take care!
