Ahhhhh! Home again...it's so nice to be home again. But our week in Vegas was amazing. Belize is beautiful and warm and serene but sometimes it's a little too quiet. So, a week in Vegas was in order! When we still lived in Canada, Adam and I would head to Las Vegas for a quick getaway maybe once (and sometimes twice) a year. We always have so much fun there. And this was no exception!
A big highlight of the trip was meeting up with Brian and Dawn Jean Mould. They are friends from Fort Nelson that are newly retired snowbirds on their way to Arizona. And by amazing coincidence, we ended up in Vegas on the same day! So, we met up for breakfast on our first morning there. It was so nice to see familiar faces and catch up. When we drove down to Belize (two years ago!!) we checked out their house in Arizona. We parked in their driveway and took pics of ourselves. They weren't there, of course, so it was kind of creepy-stalky. It's a wonder the neighbours didn't call the police on us! It was funny...we laughed about it!

Our week in Vegas was great. We....wait a minute....what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! That's all that you need to know. The tourism board is making a really big deal of that slogan again. Since poor Prince Harry's buttocks got flashed to the whole world, the code of Vegas is everywhere. It's funny.
So suffice it to say, we had a great week and here are some pictures. Although, you won't see Adam's buttocks in any of them. We take the code very seriously!

I think it's OK to mention our tour of the Neon Museum (no buttocks involved!). This is a fairly newly opened museum of neon signs from old Vegas. This is a town that changes so fast so it's nice to see efforts to preserve some of the history. I really enjoyed the one hour tour. Lots of great stories and picture opportunities. If you are heading to Vegas anytime soon, put this on your list. It's a nice diversion from all the crowds and noise and gambling. It's also a non-profit organization and every entry fee helps them to continue with the project.
