Mark and I aren't exactly the "Vegas" type. In fact, if you were to create a list of the top 5 least likely couples to go to Vegas, I'd bet we'd be on it.
BUT, when you can travel for free because one spouse has to be there for a 2-day work conference and the other can use miles, AND it's over the weekend of one's 40th birthday
(need I say whose?), AND you have friends and family that are willing to parcel out your kids and pets, AND it's the first time you've gotten away for more than one night together in the nearly 11 years it's been since you started having kids, you just don't care
where you go, as long as you're together. And alone. It's enough to make you say, "Hey, Baby, let's go to Vegas!" Which we did say. Numerous times. Numerous times
a day, for the whole month leading up to our trip. The trip did not disappoint...to say that we had a fabulous time is the understatement of the century. We soaked in every minute of it...and except for the 2 days Mark had to be there for work, we hoofed it right out of the city!

| Exploring the Bellagio...Wendy's hang-out of choie while Mark was in meetings. |

| Lake Meade Recreational area. |

| Hoover Dam...fascinating! |

| Headed toward Red Rock Canyon |
 |
| We didn't have time to go all the way to Red Rock...but close enough! The beauty here is vastly different than home's! |
We enjoyed an uneventful, relaxing Easter Sunday. Easter service at New Beginnings Baptist was a blessing, and we fellowshipped after over a delightful potluck brunch. Then we headed to my parents' for dinner.
