Las Vegas

I had a conference out in Las Vegas (SAP Reporting & Analytics). Ella went to stay with Mimi and PawPaw and Clint and Mary Catherine went out to Nevada with me. Well, Mary Catherine and I flew out there together mid-day on Wed and Clint didn't fly out until Wed night. She did extremely well flying - much better than I would have ever thought! She played, she slept, she met a lot of people. It was all in all, a good day.

While I was at the conference all day, Mary Catherine and Clint got to play a lot. They hung out in the hotel, they walked around the strip, they drove around the area. Just a lot of great daddy-daughter time. Can't beat that!!

The conference was at the Rio, but we had to stay at Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. I couldn't believe how big it was. There were tons of restaurants and shopping in this one casino alone. It was quite unbelievable.

Thursday afternoon, Clint and Mary Catherine drove out to the Hoover Dam. I thought this picture was awesome. I wish I could have seen it myself. I just sit in awe looking at this beauty that God has given us!

I am glad that I can say that I have been to Las Vegas, but I can't say that I am ready to go back. The landscape was beautiful - the rocky, rough mountains were just not anything I ever expected to see. The strip was neat to see - from a distance.

On Thursday night, we walked down the strip to see some light shows at a couple of the casinos. It was pretty cool. But, in general, the strip was so crowded with people - most of which were just rude. It was unpredictably predictable. That's about all I can say about the strip.

I only uploaded a couple of pictures to the blog. There are over a 100 on snapfish - so here is a link.
