LAS VEGAS BABY!!!

Over the July 4th weekend we took a quick trip down to Las Vegas, with a layover in St. George for a few hours. It was so nice to get away for a few days. I didn't realize how much we ALL needed it. It has been a long time since we have been able to escape, and now I'm ready to go somewhere else....and soon!

We left on Friday afternoon, after a small mishap with Gio's car....had to get it back from the shop and after spending all my "not won yet" winnings to fix the car..we were finally on the road. We got to St. George and had a spicy tasty dinner prepared by our friend Michelle...some of the best fajitas I've had in a long time. Then off to the Tuachan to see Talon in "Tarzan". Can I just say that it was fantastic. And a play is even better when you know one of the actors, and when it is one of the leads it is even better. He played young Tarzan and did a super job. We sure are gonna miss that kid! He leaves on Sunday for a stint with the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (or something like that) out of Washington DC and will be touring with "Mary Poppins"....good luck Talon! We sure love you and are going to miss you! Thank you for one last evening with you, we had a blast!

I have to admit that there were a few times during the play that I thought of Robert.

He LOVES Tarzan and would have really enjoyed the play!

Then off to Las Vegas!!! It wasn't as hot as we thought it would be, and we did a lot of relaxing. We finally took a picture under the Las Vegas sign...something we have never done  before! Silly us!

We stayed at the Cancun Resort and it was wonderful. We lounged by the pool and just relaxed.

We drove downtown a few times, saw a show, and went to the movies and saw Eclipse. Even Gio said it was okay....of course Brian and I loved it!!!

We even ran into a few famous people while we were walking along the strip....

Brian missed his brother so much that this guy kept him company in his room at night!

It was a wonderful weekend and great family time!
