Vegas Baby!

Corey and I just returned from a fabulous and fun trip to Vegas with the Reeders, Gossetts and Jennifer to celebrate Jason's 30th birthday. With 75-80 degree days, lots of gambling (some us (i.e. the Morans) losing more than others), lounging poolside, shopping, a trip to Red Rock Canyon, noshing on delicious food (Monte Carlo Brew Pub, Stack in the Mirage , and Diego in the MGM, which is where we stayed), and taking in the Vegas nightlife (Pure which is located within Caesars Palace and is absolutely huge, including a huge outdoor area that overlooks the strip), we had a an absolute blast and were not looking forward to returning home to gloomy and cold Seattle (rumor has it that it actually snowed here while we were gone).

We're now all recovering from late nights out (we didn't go to bed before 3 a.m. any of the three nights we were there) and are planning our next getaway - perhaps to California this summer.

Here are some photos from our trip. The rest can be found on Flickr.
