Las Vegas is known as "sin city." Due to my religious beliefs and general personality, I really don't like to be in that type of environment (you know, where seeing nudity is normal and ads for "free love for a price" are common). I also have diabetes, which means I try and have a fairly healthful lifestyle, sans junk food. Vegas has legendary buffets and savory snacks.
You may wonder how I ended up there in the first place. Well, I have never been to Vegas and Marty thought I would appreciate seeing the sights and love watching the eclectic mix of people (he was right---crazies everywhere! Incredibly amusing). So my parents were down in CA for a visit and watched Cam for two days while we made the road trip to LV.
We had a blast! We walked the strip (I felt like a hayseed, looking at all the lights and blushing from some of the suggestive billboards), went to an incredible Cirque de Solei show, and slept in and read books (heavenly, without having Cam helping us turn the pages...oh, and they weren't board books with ducks in them either, they were real grown-up books that didn't rhyme!). We saw the light and fire shows some of the hotels have outside at night, and played a few arcade games (I am never very lucky at those, but I did get enough tickets to win a miniature wizard statue and some rainbow fingernail decals--Christmas is coming for a few of my friends and family!).
I was sorely tempted to take photos of all the crazy folks wandering around, but I didn't want to be thrashed about the head and neck with any of their red pleather bustiers or rhinestone headresses.
Fun little vacation, even if it was somewhat tame by Vegas standards.
