I figured while I had some time I would type up my adventures of the last few days. I know once I get back to Massachusetts I won't find the time to update since we're moving in two weeks.

Anyway! I will start with last Saturday. We had a pretty stressful day. Justin was trying to find out when his flight back from San Diego would be so he could figure out what to do about transportation. We also didn't know who was taking us to the airport. Corey had friends coming over and wasn't sure what time they would be gone and Joanna had plans and Justin's mom didn't like the idea of taking us to Boston. Well with about three hours to go we got Corey to agree to drive us. We spent most of the morning playing Rock Band, touring with our band “Sons of Krypton”. Loads of fun. Finally it was time to leave and we got to Logan in decent time. It's amazing how close Boston seems when it isn't 7 a.m.

We got checked in pretty quickly and headed to our gate where we sat for a while. Nothing much to report. Boarded and took off. I didn't realize how long the flight would really be until Saturday. We were expecting six hours but we got to Las Vegas around 10:30 PST. I fell asleep for a little bit on the plane and woke up as we went over the Rocky Mountains. That was SO cool. I've never flown that far west before so it was an adventure. We munched on snacks the entire flight, as JetBlue has a “take as many as you would like” mentality. Anyway, luggage in hand we got a cab and headed towards Justin's dad's house.

Michael was awake when we arrived to the house so I got to meet him a little earlier than expected. We sat up and talked to him for a while before turning in for the night. Michael has an English accent which is so cool. They really have a nice house. Very desert and southwest.

Sunday morning we got up fairly early, still being on Eastern time. Kim, Justin's step mom was in the kitchen preparing some things for our cookout later in the afternoon so I got to meet her. We pretty much just relaxed and stood around most of the morning. I think we went in the hot tub and then took showers as well. We had some food out under the tiki huts in the back by the pool for lunch. It was a nice opportunity to talk to Kim and Michael and eventually the conversation turned to what Justin and I had planned for the future. All of the questions came from Kim and Michael told me I could run the other way if I wished haha. She ended up cornering Justin and asked him some awkward questions about us. But she made him pinky swear he would be faithful to me haha. After he was released we decided to take a walk to downtown and see the shops. We weren't gone long really. I think when we got back we went back to the hot tub, as our legs were burning from the walk. Kim had been upstairs having a nap so we didn't see much of her for the rest of the night. After the hot tub Justin and I decided to watch The Da Vinci Code. It was really good!!! Michael watched a bit of it with us and then we watched some of the Fox cartoons before going up to bed. I fell asleep before Family Guy was even over! I have been so so tired lately.

Monday was Michael's birthday. Kim had to work but Michael took the day off so we hung out with him. We hot tubbed and got ready and headed into town with him to do his errands. Michael had a sweet BMW from his dealership. I'm talkin a $90,000 car here. It was a SWEET ride. We had some breakfast at Einstein bagels in the middle of errand running. We sat out in the sun and that has really been the only time I felt warm outside at all this week lol. It's been super cold. After errands we came back to the house and I don't know why I went upstairs and got under the covers but I did. And I fell asleep lol. Justin and I had a nice long nap until just before three. Then it was time to go see American Gangster with Michael. Justin treated us. The movie was really good but REALLY long. We were starving when we got out of the movie. We met up with Kim at a restaurant in the same building that the movie was in and had a really nice dinner. I had chicken parmigiana. It was sooooo tasty. It was Michael's birthday dinner and according to Justin it turned out really expensive lol. I didn't see the bill but Justin says it was a lot.

After dinner we wandered the casino looking for a five dollar black jack table for Justin to gamble. It was his first time in Vegas since turning 21. He turned 40 into 50 so thats cool. After we got back home ...I don't remember what we did.

Tuesday morning we got up early, got ready and Kim took us to the bus terminal so we could catch The Deuce to the Strip. So exciting!!! We rode the Deuce down to the Wynn hotel and got off there to start our tour. We saw a LOT the first day. At the Venetian we went to the wax museum which was loads of fun. We took a ton of pictures. Justin forgot his memory card in his computer so he felt bad about that but I took plenty of pictures. We got a lot of good ones. After the wax museum we continued the tour. I can't remember the exact order of things but we saw everything on the north end. We went down to Caesar's Palace which is HUGE! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOGE. Holy crap that hotel is ginormous. We got hungry while we were there but everything in the Forum shops at Caesar's is so expensive so we made our way over to the PH which used to be the Aladdin and we found ourselves a sandwich shop that was fairly inexpensive. Then we hopped back onto the Deuce and headed to the Stratosphere. We wanted to be up there went the sun went down but unfortunately it was taking too long so we just left. Then we headed north to downtown Las Vegas. We went to the Fremont Street Experience which wasn't much of an experience lol. That's where the famous cowboy is but he wasn't lit up yet so we didn't get to see much down there. Not much of an experience until the sun goes down.

We got back on the bus and headed back south in hopes of catching the volcano eruption in front of the Mirage. The bus ride back was so long and stuuuuuuuuuuupid. But we got to the Mirage to find out eventually that we still had quite a long time until the eruption would happen anyway. At 5:30 we tried to make it down to the Bellagio for the fountain thing but we weren't going to get there in time so we turned around and stood at the Mirage and waited. THEN we walked down to the Bellagio to see the dancing fountains. We wandered through that hotel before stopping to see the show. It was so cool!!! And the music was Luck be a Lady from Frank himself!!! I loved it. We decided to call it at night after the dancing fountains so we wandered around to find a bus stop. It was cold out so my jeans were chaffing my thighs and it hurt really bad. :(

There was a cluster with the bus once we got to ours. Unfortunately about a month ago they changed the route and we missed the stop we wanted to take. We were on the bus a REALLY long time and we were all over the place. I felt so bad for Justin. He really beat himself up over it :( But we finally got home just before ten. Michael was just about to call and see where we were in our travels. Having not had anything to eat since our sammiches we ate our left-overs from Monday night and then went up to bed. Completely exhausted we slept in on Wednesday and took our time getting ready. We hot tubbed and eventually headed toward the bus stop around 12:30. Got to the strip with no problems and stopped at the famous “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign to take pictures. Then we walked up to Mandalay Bay and over to the Luxor. That is a COOL hotel!!! From there we went to Excalibur and out across to New York New York. We just took pictures for a while since we were going into NY NY for a show that night. We went over to MGM and saw the lions the went to the M&M store, the Coke store and Gameworks where we decided to have lunch. It was pretty much the same price as an Applebee's meal so it was really great. We were so tired but still had a lot to do. We did a lot of wandering around before heading to the NYNY. My legs hurt so badly because of the chaffing. It was hard to walk around.

Did a little bit of gambling at the roulette tables! I wasn't ballsy enough to continue gambling after I won five bucks so I decided to just be happy with doubling my money. Next time I go to Vegas I will be sure to save up. This trip was more for meeting Justin's family..not spending tons of money. We had so much time before seeing Zumanity so we basically just wandered around for a while before the doors opened.

Michael and Kim got us tickets to the show as a Christmas present and it turned out to be really fun!! Its Cirque De Solei.It was so cool though. Its really amazing what people can do with their bodies. We had to catch a bus straight away because we didn't want to miss the last one home. We thought we got lucky when we saw our second bus pulling up as soon as we got to the station but they did a little short tour around THEN went back to the station. So it was nearly 11 when we actually got back to the house.

This morning (Thursday) Justin had to get up and get ready quickly because Kim was taking him to the airport for his flight to Mexico.

Michael and Kim had to work today so I was just alone in the house with the animals. I read for a while and napped and since then I've been watching television. I took a shower, did some laundry and Kim just got home from work so I am going to go!! I should be able to post this tomorrow since there is free wireless at the airport. Tomorrow morning I go to Santa Ana to meet up with Wanda (Justin's grandmother) to start my weekend in California!!!

And here I am, in the airport. I have tons of time before my boarding so I will try to upload some pictures. I dislike that I have to resize them on flickr bc it takes away from the quality!!!!! But you guys can see them in person at some pt. So there it is! Sometime I will update about California.
