The Happiest Place On Earth















Ted met his sister, brother-in-law, and their two sons in Anaheim last night and joined them for a Disney character breakfast at Disneyland this morning. Ted brought me these to little guys as souvenirs since I was not able to join them.

It's Really Happening... Gulp




















My race packet for the P.F. Chang's 1/2 marathon arrived via email today. Hard to believe it's less than three weeks away.

DMB















Ted surprised me with the new DMB CD last night. He forgot he bought it for me for Christmas so it was a nice post holiday surprise.

Vegas Reminder















I bought this snow globe for Ted as a reminder of our trip to Vegas. He's not a big knick knack guy but I'm hoping he will put it in his office.

Happy Birthday Carol











































Today is Carol's birthday. Carol and Adam left Las Vegas yesterday so we celebrated Carol's birthday at breakfast yesterday.

Vegas Baby





































































































Today was another fun day in Las Vegas. Carol, Adam, and Heather all left today so Ted and I headed to the Wynn and Palazzo casinos to check them out. After that we met Ed and Stacy for lunch at P.F. Chang's in the Planet Hollywood casino and from there we headed to the Monte Carlo casino where I once again found a comfy spot in the sports room while everyone else played poker and blackjack.
Pictures #1-2: The lobby of the Wynn casino. These pictures do not do the casino justice the interior is beautiful.
Picture #3: Polar bears made out of poinsettias in the lobby of the Palazzo casino.
Picture #4: Stacey and Ed in front of a sculpture at the Aria casino.
Picture #5: I won 300 quarters at this slot machine at the Monte Carlo. I know that's only $75 but for me that is a huge win.
Picture 6: No trip to Las Vegas is complete without at least one sighting of Elvis.

Merry Christmas















































































I know it's Christmas but it doesn't feel like it. We started the day with breakfast at the Pyramid Cafe in the Luxor casino. After breakfast we checked out the new casino Aria and then we ended up at the Monte Carlo casino where Ted, Carol, Adam, and Heather played poker. I took a well deserved nap in the sports room amid all the people placing bets on the basketball games.
