Viva Las Vegas 2011After 7 years of working the Cowboy Christmas...this year I had the oppurtunity to go play in Vegas for a few days. I learned that cramming 15 days worth of fun into 3....isn't as easy as it sounds but I managed to have a little fun :)
Dad and I ...best traveling partners ever!
....unless you ask my sister....who drove the ENTIRE way to VEGAS! ;)
