vacationing

As we drove to Vegas we stopped in at the world famous Mad Greek restaurant. It was pretty good. I like gyros and it was fun to go to another restaurant that Josh and I saw on the Food Network. As we left the restaurant we could see bolts of lightning in the distance, jumping from cloud to cloud. The edge of the storm looked like a black blanket rolling across the stars. The nearly full moon peeked in and out of the edges. As we pulled into Vegas big fat drops of rain hit the window shield.

Josh and I spent today running around Vegas, looking in at different hotels, playing blackjack (Josh actually walked away with $5 more than when he sat down), eating at the Wynn buffet (I'm still full), shopping (sale at Ann Taylor Loft!), and playing in the pool. It was nice just to get away. He was a little grumpy to begin with this morning, but relaxed and had fun as we visited several different gun stores around the area. We also got some really good tea. Yummy!

This is such a short trip, but I'm still really glad that we came. It's great just to be somewhere that is a good drive away from work, for the both of us.
