Viva Las Vegas

I'm back! Vegas was a lot of fun. Ty and I had a good time together. I don't think either of us has a desire to go back. It was very crowded, hot, and expensive. It wasn't quite our cup of tea. BUT, we had a good time! We walked around a lot, spent a lot of dollars at the slot machines, and ate even more. Ty was on his own for two days while I was at my conference. He visited a lot of different casinos, rode the bus from place to place, and made enough money off the slot machines to buy his own lunches. He can entertain himself and have fun anywhere! He made the whole trip very fun! Even at the Dallas airport he was ready to explore. I'm glad he got to go with me. My conference was great! I met some interesting people and learned a lot. In my downtime, we went to an outlet mall, where I only bought one thing! :( We went to this great Italian restaurant called, Battista's. It was a great hole in the wall place. You ordered your main entree and no matter what you ordered you also got salad, bread, all you can drink house wine, and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was the best I have ever had. I would give anything to find a place here that sells cappuccinos like that! We went to the old part of Vegas and had .99 cents shrimp cocktails. All in all it was a good trip!
Nuts stayed with my friend Rebecca. She has a little pomeranian, Tatum. They had such a good time together. Nuts was so sad on Sunday, because he was all by himself again. He laid around all day, acting depressed. He missed Tatum!
