Sorry for the slow posting over the past several days. I just wrapped up a brief vacation with my wife. (All vacations with my wife are way too brief.) We celebrated 15 years of being married, to each other, with a 4-day trip to Las Vegas. It was Emily’s first visit to Vegas. She liked it. Here are our highlights:
- I drove from L.A. to Vegas. Loved the drive through the mountains and across the desert. It was a beautiful trip.
- We learned that when it rains in Chicago, planes can’t land at O’Hare. Go figure. Em arrived about 5 hours late in Vegas. We were making memories from the very beginning of the trip.
- We stayed at Treasure Island and hung out at the pool every afternoon. The beach is better, but we like the pool too.
- I met a guy at the grocery store and he let me hold his pet–a red bearded Australian dragon.
- We saw "O" at the Bellagio. It was…how should I describe it…wet. Good and wet.
- We traveled down to the Hoover Dam. Then we traveled down the Hoover Dam. It’s a big dam.
- The car temperature gauge read 112 at one point. It was a dry heat.
- We visited the M&M’s Store and had our picture taken with Ms. Green.
- We didn’t lose any money. I’m just too tight with my money to risk it like that. I love Texas Hold ‘Em Poker, but I couldn’t convince anyone that we should just play for fun.
- We went shopping and didn’t buy anything. See previous bullet. I’m tight with my money. I love getting new things, but I couldn’t convince anyone they should just give me stuff for fun.
I still prefer beach vacations, but it was fun to do something different and celebrate 15 years with my wife and best friend. Marriage is a good thing.











Green M&M? Subtle, Tony. Subtle.
I went to Vegas for the first time last year to go to a conference with my wife.
The M&M store is way cool! Four floors of chocolate heaven…
I would be just fine never going back. There are no coffee pots in the hotel rooms!!!! I was grumpy for the first day or two because we didn’t budget an extra $10 a day to buy coffee at one of the shops down stairs.
Lots of weird stuff to see there, though.
Congrats to you and your wife. you are some special people and I’m glad you guys had a blast!
here’s to the next 15. congrats!
