Vegas!

The first week of December found mom and I in Vegas! The weather wasn't hot but a lot nicer than the rain and cold in Seattle.



Our hotel pool...we were the only ones laying out in the sun. People must have thought us crazy.

See me in the reflection?

The amazing ceiling in the Belagio entrance, all hand blown glass.

The decor behind the check in counter.

Belagio atrium.


Chocolate fountain!!

mmmm....

Pastries of art.


Mom and Vi Brown in the Belagio shopping strip.

Caesars Palace


Ah, Paris

The Venitian water way.

The men and ladies running the gondolas would each have a turn singing as they came to this turn around spot in the water canal. It was beautiful.

Belagio.

We watched a water fountain show but it's so fast and amazing it's hard to take pictures!

I'm thinking a mom-daughter trip should be a yearly thing! It was a wonderful trip, relaxing and so fun. We saw one show while we were there, 'ICE' was a Russian troupe of ice skaters that did acrobatics and dancing on the ice stage. It was really good!!

Thanksgiving 07....first one at our house!

This picture might have been a warning photo of disasters to come, but it actually turned out wonderful!... with lots of help from others, might I add.

SO ready to eat!
And dessert was just as wonderful.
Most of us went for a walk after dinner because of the amount of food we stuffed into ourselves.
Yummy memories.
