Vegas
So far, Vegas has been good to us. It's been sort of like Rachael and Lori's trip to Oklahoma this summer with tons of deals and freebies. First we got the nicest, biggest hotel, (but we had to attend a 2 hour presentation and tour). After 2 hours, we were like... it's been a long time, we just are not interested, good-bye. It stretched to about 2.5 hours in all. But we got a 1 bedroom condo with a washer and drier, dishwasher, full size refrigerator, giant bathtub, and all the things you love about home, only better because you are on vacation and you don't have to clean up after anyone and its still clean when you get back. This place would be a nightmare to clean for our maid if we actually had food to cook. Right now, I am brewing Starbucks* coffee and looking out our giant window at the strip while I blog as fast as I can because Adam takes a fast shower when he wants to get going. ( It's half decaf mom! Secondly, we rented a car, and it gave us problems, so we took it back, and they couldn't find anything to rent us, it was taking a long time to process the others, or something like that, not sure, so the lady looks at us and says "it's your lucky day" we got a convertible Audi A4!! I am all for American cars to support the economy, but I have not an ounce of guilt for being a trader for a weekend. (Actually, Adam's the trader, I haven't touched the gas peddle.) Then at the SEMA* show yesterday, we were walking around the audio section and I was looking at the ipod* accessories and the guy was like... "you like those pink headphones? Take them; what kind of Ipod* do you have? Here, take this case too, oh, (to Adam) unless you like the pink headphones, take these black ones." He just GAVE them to us. Then we also found this really cool rope type gadget to polish the dull boat tower Adam made at work, that takes minutes to make the whole thing look brand new and shiny like a mirror, and the lady was like, "Oh, I'll give it to you for 5 bucks because the show is over in an hour" I was like.....Oh I want one, really bad, it's exactly what we need, but I will have to pass on your offer, and buy it online when I get home, because I have no cash on me, ( I really didn't I wasn't trying to get a freebie, I promise) and she just said.. "well then just take it!" Thanks! Gotta get going, we are heading out for the desert for the afternoon, I'll post pictures later.

Are you on vacation or there for a trade show? Sounds like you both are having a good time. Hope you get time to go to Hoover Dam. Very interesting.
Don't you mean "traitor?" Although, I guess "trader" gets the idea across! :)
Glad you guys are having fun. The freebies sure add to the fun factor, huh?!
I love Audi's! That's awesome! :-)
Have fun on your vacation! Can't wait to see photos! :-)
Awesome!!! Can't wait to see photos ~ post many, even if you have to wait until you get home. Enjoy your time!
Yes Tina, we are in LV for the Sema show that our work goes to every year, but this year was more for pleasure than business. But certainly a little of both.
Hey Rach, IS that what I meant? I guess I missed that one in English class because it doesn't even ring a bell... I'll have to pull out the dictionary and freshen up.
I love it when things like that happen. Although you have to admit the hassels are a bit of a pain.
I'm glad you didn't get suckered into buying a timeshare. I have heard they can be rather pushy with their talks.
Man, I really missed out! Didn't even realize you actually blogged until today! When do you get back?
