You're too dam tired to bring it home with you.
Some things will stay with me of course, like my wonderful time with Mr.and Mrs.Spit, who is a Girlfriend of the highest water from her rubbing my back when I got carsick from driving around a parking garage in the backseat, to being such a fun shopping, dining, and sightseeing companion. Her lovely Mr.Spit too, who was subjected to our two teen boys hopped up on sugar and new places and handled it with aplomb.
I totally don't "GET" gambling, and Mrs.Spit and I both agree that we want to walk away from spending money with some sense of value, (perhaps a pair of purple lace up shoes?), which is hard to do from a flashing, noisy machine that eats your money. (Including the Dance Dance Rev.olution game in the arcade, go figure.) Plus we can play flashing, noisy games at home for free without getting inundated with cigarette smoke, blech!!
Hoover Dam is an engineering marvel, worthy of its tag as one of the Seven Manmade Wonders of The World. As my Dh points out, Las Vegas would not exist without the Dam, which not only provides the liquid gold of the desert, water, but also cheap electricity.
Our family's weekend in Vegas wasn't only spent with the Spits, but also a herd of Cowboys in town for the National Rodeo Finals. I have never seen so many cowboy hats in my life. Ever. Also, there is an apparent fabric shortage in L.V., as many women were wearing next to nothing and you could practically see their "pupick" as my Grandma used to say. Another fashion trend is skintight black leggings either worn with boots or high heeled sandals. A highlight of the trip was sharing an elevator with one boogying, very curvaceous young lady who wore black sequined leggings accessorized by a wine glass, and Man, She Owned It!! If I was single and twenty years younger, I would so be her running buddy that night.
On our short flight home back to Los Angeles, I made my usual celebrity sighting as we shared our plane with Robin Antin, creater of The Pussycat Dolls musical group and their popular song, "Don't Cha".
Thank you so much for your visit and what have you been up to besides dodging cowboys and scantily clad women?

You gave me my big smile of the day as I enjoyed Las Vegas with you. You need to be a comedy writer..you're good. * big smiles
Wow! Sounds like a great trip. I would love to go to Vegas, but I'm not into gambling either. I'd love to see some shows. And awesome celebrity sighting!!!
Um...nothing exciting like hanging with a bunch of cowboys and buying purple lace up shoes.
I wanna be YOUR running buddy :)
i love reading of this.. so glad ya'll had such a great time, minus the carsickness that is, hate that..
Dam puns...sigh.
I'm glad you had a good time in Vegas (aside from the cigarette smoke and scantily clad women. And the gambling, which I also do not get). Welcome back!
So glad you are home! Sounds like a great time - except the getting car sick part!
Don't you just wish you could wear that stuff? Not that you would but that you could. Well, maybe you can. I can't.
Sounds like a wonderful getaway (except the car sick part and the smoke!)
Take care
nice getaway..
Oh it sounds like you had a great time. John and I spent 3 weeks working in LV, what seems like a lifetime ago and had so much fun. i'm with you about the gambling. I don't see how putting your hard earned cash into a machine in the hope of winning some of it back can be classed as fun!!
LOL at the comments about lack of material and skin tight leggins. believe me when i say it isn't just LV :0)
I don't get gambling...especially the machines. Why not just roll down your window while driving on the freeway, and throw your money into the wind?
Ah! I'm so jealous! Vegas in on my Bucket List.
Wooo woooo! Celebrity sighting!
I always like going to Vegas, and I don't gamble, and I don't smoke. But something about it is a lot of fun anyway. The food? Walking down the street with a beer in my hand? The big fancy hotels?
I'm so glad you had fun with your blog friends.
My husband loves to tell the story of how he puked at the Hoover Dam when he was 7. It's very compelling. :)
It sounds like a wonderful trip for you all!!
I have the same gambling philosophy. I think the most I've ever thrown away on gambling is spending 25 cents playing Bars n Bells at a church festival...
