Las Vegas Weekend


Chris and I had a nice "free" weekend in Vegas last weekend. I have only been to Vegas twice before. One time I never went to the strip. The second time Chris and I drove the strip, but stayed at Hard Rock Hotel. We took a minor detail during the day to Caesar's Palace, but that was all I had ever experienced. On our weekend we stayed at the Silverton Hotel and Casino. We walked a quaint shopping strip in Henderson, saw the "old strip" - Fremont Street Experience, and visited Ava in Binions. Let me just say that the updates that Ava and Carlos are doing at Binions are going to be amazing. I can't wait to go back when it is done. (I can't believe I actually want to go to Vegas since I don't gamble.) Anyway, a good time was had by all until our drive home. It took 7 hours because there were 4 different accidents along the way home where cars had driven off the freeway and flipped about 20 yards from the road. Scary! If that doesn't tell you to drive safe I don't know what will!

Missing You


It has not even been a week yet and I already miss my classes. I wish my 8th graders all the best in their high school endeavors. I'm going to miss their fun and playful natures. It was truly a great year!
