What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. For a bloody good reason!!!!
But man was it fun.
Stacey has some great details and shots of vegas.

Page AR - Vegas Baby!
It’s a pretty short hop from Page to Las Vegas, around 4 1/2 hours, so we had planned a nice sleep in around today. So of course I was wide awake at 6 am, *Sigh*. Page itself is really just a little resort town by a lake, but the surrounding countryside [...]

I get a LOT of spam and it’s sometimes interesting to see how the trends of what finds it’s way into my inbox. Of course there is always a host of sex related spam and the notorious viagra and breast enlargement emails.

Amarillo TX, to Farmington NM.
We managed to make quite good time. New Mexico is simply stunning, the landscape is just as I grew up with on old western movies and road runner cartoons.
I-40 was the usual crush of trucks, but the real concern was the pea soup fog we were flying through. The Texas panhandle [...]

We left a little late but not too bad. Georgies party was great and she loved her butterfly cake.
Good time was made and we managed to make friends with the Oklahoma toll road system. It may not have been a lot of money each time but it all adds up. Made me feel like I [...]
