Random things in Las Vegas...

...or is that lost wages?

Okay, so this trip wasn't that random. We had a family wedding there. What was really funny was that people at work would ask what we had planned for the weekend. I'd tell them we were going to Las Vegas, and they'd say "Oh, how fun." Then I mentioned the family wedding, and the next question was usually "Which casino/hotel?" I tell them that there's an LDS temple in Vegas, and about half the time I'd be asked why they would choose the Vegas temple over one in Utah. Well, the bride's family lives there, the groom's family lives in Texas, and people were coming from all over the country to attend, so Vegas seemed like the most logical gathering place.

It was a beautiful ceremony and reception, and we had a lot of fun visiting with family we haven't seen for a long time (some since our own wedding over a year ago). The weather was nice (hot but not too hot), and we saw the Hoover Dam and the new bridge (it's not open yet for traffic but it looks really cool). Mr. Perfect and I ate dinner at great French restaurant in Paris Las Vegas. It's across from the Bellagio, so we were treated to good food and the fountains as well.

As fun as trips are, it's really nice to be home.

And I promise that I'll post pictures soon (I really, really promise).
