After Katie's wedding on Saturday, I left from Torrance to drive to
Las Vegas and meet Jaime's dad, Gary, his wife, Connie, and his sister, Diane, for a visit with Jaime. Sunday we all met up and went to explore the strip. Connie and I were interested in seeing the Venetian, so we found it and went inside.
They had it decorated for year of the tiger. The inside is decorated like Venice, with the canals and buildings and it was cool. We wandered around there and had dinner at an Italian restaurant, which was in a plaza with people singing opera nearby.
Here's the group: Gary, Jaime, Connie, and Diane.
The canals of the Venetian, complete with gondola rides.
We had parked by the
Bellagio and as we headed through the casino to catch the fountain show, we ran into a parade with tigers and a dragon.
They also had these glass flowers that were beautiful.
We had to wait awhile for the fountain show to start, but it was cool and worth the wait.
Jaime and I bought chocolate covered fruit, which we indulged in once we got back to her room;
mmmm, it was so good. The next day, Jaime's family left and we hung out mostly on the base, I got to see a little more of where she is living. Then she drove home with me because she had a couple more days off.
We had a nice drive and some of it was really pretty. Believe it or not, I took this picture through the open window as we were driving on the freeway.
Tuesday we got to bake together, which was especially fun now that both of us are bakers at work. Jaime came to school with me today and we hung out during my long afternoon break, then she headed back to Vegas.
