Vegas was a good time! We got there in 5.5 hours Tuesday night after that last bball game.

And we got home last night (Sat.) around 7 p.m. after picking up our cutie dog at my asst. coach mom of girl on team lady in Madera, CA, who has 5 dogs that loved Bo!

A bball season note: 8-0 in the (stinky) league, and like 14-6 overall. Not too shabby.

Anyways, his parents were just about to sleep at a 1 a.m. arrival to the absololutely gorgeous Monte Carlo. My new personal favorite hotel of Las Vegas. Will book there if it's cheap and whenever going back.

Most of the trip involved relaxing, walking up and down the strip, catching up with his parents, and eat, eat, eating! WOO! BUFFETS RULE!

We only played the slots a tiny bit, and his dad played some blackjack briefly. It was sunny one day, but rainy and windy the other days---that was gross b/c we were looking forward to playing some tennis.

All in all it was a good get away! Much needed to stick out these last 60 school days till summer. That's right a count down just got posted there! OH YEAH! YES!

One funny highlight was Casey and I going to a time share talk. We got $75 bucks, and a "supposed" 2 night, 3 day Vegas return to a strip hotel.

The time share thing was like 2 hours and you may know how it goes, with telling them No, No, No, and No, we don't have money for this hilarity :) Give us the free money for being here 2 HOURS NOW!

It was very educational and perhaps tempting if we were 10 years older, but not as tempting as buying 5 (cheap) acres on the big island of Hawaii and building a beautiful little shack for 10 grand.

Well, the rest of this weekend was full of taking Nordictracks back to their dumb business owners, taking Bo to do that travelling (and him getting car sick presumably b/c he upchucked 3 times), and much, much discussion of moving to Alaska.

In about 1 year from now, we will be up there, and the getting readies are starting to boil up----but real serious prep will be this fall! Let's get some summer fun going on before all that preoccupation though :)

Summer = 5 days in San Diego hopefully, Oregon for a slow 3 weeks, a cross country trip to Mt. Rushmore and all the Cabelas (guess who wants to go there), time with Ohioans, and England!

BOOOOOOYA!

That's all I got for now. Will get Vegas pics up tonight I hope.

Sidenote:It was grand reading up on all the blogs. It seems spring and summer fever are exploding for everyone with plans getting up on blogs and elsewhats galore.

Softball (baseball) coaching and spring it is full go tomorrow for us! Happy sunshine and more than 10 degree weather I hope for most of these readers :)
