We are back
July 31, 2009 | Filled under Life |
… from our two days trip to Las Vegas. We visited it for the first time and
we had a Blast for sure… but I’ve got a strange feeling is that even if all
these “stuff” are PROP… and you’re probably not a kind of that Romantic
person … anyways, you would never disprove that Vegas is such colorful
and festive city ;o) Well, let’s go to some pictures “trip”… below are views
of Bellagio hotel and how “Paris” looks like from our room…
… We arrived VERY late on Monday and since Kristin was too tired, we did
not have activities that night… But in a morning.. FIRST, we’re so enjoined
to swim in a such warm pool that I would never expect; then we’ve got
great breakfast time and a little shopping… Even if there are no big Fan of
shopping in our family, it was interesting to compare stuff and we found…
that for example my favorite Black and White House market and Cache
offered items available only online here, in WA, and some of them came
with really great deals… well, it’s logical ;o)
Then met Igor’s cousin and walked along strip (mainly in the car :o)
… Later in the evening we watched Mystere by Cirque du Soleil, a MAIN
reason I always wanted to visit Las Vegas. Unfortunately there was no
show O available during our visit, but we will back for sure! I can’t believe
that people have such Phenomenal possibilities and such Incredibly artistic!
They do things you couldn’t imagine… Absolutely Awe-inspiring!!
Next day, after morning swimming, we drove to Red Rock Canyon
(Love the panoramic picture Igor took!) A PLACE I would definitely come
back for some trails!!
P.S.: Oh and you know why I did not mention that 109 “Las Vegas” degrees
at all?!! :o) Can you believe it, but when we came back to Seattle, the
temperature was almost the same as in Las Vegas but we don’t have
conditioners here LOL! I mean houses in Seattle never have conditioners
initially. We don’t need them according to local weather… not sure I think
so ;o)
A little trip

We are off to Las Vegas this afternoon… Not planned and expected trip,
so seems double delightful!! ;o) The only thing… Oh my, I can’t imagine,
that in Nevada is about 109 degrees now… I’ll die with no doubts LOL!
I’m leaving my stores open and will do my best to manage them as soon
as possible. But please be patient with me if here is some delay. We are
back late evening Wed (July, 29). See you then!!
