Anniversary in Vegas

Early Anniversary but we did have a lot of fun in three days:-)

I thought the Red Rock was a bit choice when we were there for M and R's wedding but actually staying there is fab. It's more of a resort than a casino, in fact the blurb says it's a Resort, Spa and Casino and because it is off-off strip you don't get the hen and stag parties like you would at say the Luxor. We spent the afternoons around the pool, I'm going to try and attach a dodgy cell phone photo - it's blurry but that's OK - of me in our poolside cabana. I didn't do so well on the gambling front this time so I'm on a serious budget until the end of the month. There were a couple of wobbles, like the fire alarm going off on the first morning and C demagnetizing the card key with us just in swimming cozys I bet the people at the front desk had a laugh at his expense. But the highlights - a $50 dollar a day cabana for nothing courtesy of Greg the bartender and an unforgettable bass guitar wake up call from the penthouse suite (19 - we were on 18) and this wasn't your brother's garage band it was pretty hot actually;-)

Then we got back home and down to earth with a bump - we spent most of Saturday buying replacement equipment our old sprinker timer and lights got fried when the power got turned back on. Big storm on Wednesday night knocked out the power to everything for about 7 hours.

Party on Sunday was really fun I love the fact I can leave C to it - he's not clingy - and just chat to everyone. It was great to just be able to talk. We were saying goodbye to M and V, and M who's gone off to be a teacher. I also got to have a little chat with S and T. S - you know who you are - we really miss you at the store!

Not so fun was the power going out again just before we went to bed. It came back on about 1am but C had had the bright idea of turning off the other circuits in the house leaving only the bedroom running. It was a good idea except that he had bedrooms 1 and 2 mislabelled and so the power came back on in the guest room!!

It's going to be a madhouse this afternoon but the time will just fly by. TKE's 30 - think Harry Potter and then multiply that by 10.
