off we goooooo .....

Just wanted to post that I won't be around for a week..Tim and I are taking off bright and early tomorrow morning and heading up the coast for some much needed Beach Time!! :)
Heading to just North of Santa Barbara.. to Morro Bay.. Pismo Beach.. Jalama Beach.. Slovang..
to take in the sights and sounds of Ocean Camping :)
I will be back with pics..and probably lots of sand in my camper.. but ahhh..it will be so worth it :)

take care my friends..

and remember to keep your eye open for those little 'moments' that happen ... take your camera with you all week to capture them..and HAVE FUN :)

IM RICH!! IM RICH!!!!

Helen, Christy, Me, Jerry and KarenI came back with $100 in my pocket...IM RICH, IM RICH!!!!!! lol
We just are soooooo NOT gamblers! I must confess..that we only slapped down $5 in a slot machine..and when that ran out..(ohhh..a mere 2 minutes)... we giggled..and then LEFT lol :) But Im RICH because of the FUN memories that I brought home..and the New formed friendships that were made while playing in Vegas :)My new friends above.. gathering together to be silly in our funky, eye-popping glasses that Christy surprised us all with :)

My new FAVORITE Drink..."Sputnik One"...ohhh my goshhh..this stuff was SOOOO Goooood!!!! Very easy to drink a few of these ;)

We all met up at the "Red Square" bar in Mandalay Bay .. a very yummy Vodka bar..and got to say Hi and hug Jillian (Greg and Christy's daughter)..and her friends. Many laughs flowed..as did the drinks and cavier..and so it began..an adventure filled with new friends and shared stories.

Lots of great statues such as these.. sooooo much to see and snap pics of... just not enough days to see it all!

Outside the "Paris" hotel

In the Lobby of the "Paris" hotel

The Eiffel Tower Restaurant:

Paris city scene streets inside.. felt like you really were in Paris wandering around their little streets!

Outside the Venetian:

The view from our Room:

We spent a couple of hours admiring the sites and slowed down a bit at the Red Rock Canyon:

We were hoping to catch a glimpse of the wild horses and burrows that live here.. but I think best chance for that is early morning and before dark..

A Row of Trumpeting Angels outside Caesar's Palace:

Greg and Dan.. preparing the glasses for the "Absinthe" party!

The Neon Cowgirl on Fremont Street:

Tim enjoying the whole Fremont Street experience!

Wonderful hosts...Jerri and Greg...

Thank you for opening your home..cooking a great dinner..and feeding me that YUMMMMMY CHEESE!!! :)

For years, I never had any reason or desire to go to Vegas.. but Im soooo glad Christy talked me into coming along this trip!!! I can't wait to go back again...(not to gamble lol) but just to see more sights..take more pictures...visit with our really fun, new friends..and to drink another Sputnik One! hehehe

Thanks Greg, Jerri, Dan, Karen, Farrow and Helen..and of course..Christy and Greg for making us feel so welcomed :)
