Vegas weekend

The first over night out of town trip with Ryan, success!  He and I had a ball while in Vegas.  He took me down the Fremont Street Experience.  Many shops and casinos and kiosks. Casinos obviously since it is Vegas!  Even zip-liners overhead.  Looked pretty cool.  Might have to try it next time we go. :)    Then we went back to the hotel and just hung out.  Very relaxing.

Monday morning we met up with my world traveler friend Amber.  Was great to see her again, she seems to be enjoying the area.  She gave us some coupons to some of the exhibits in the area.  The one I really wanted to see was the DaVinci exhibit.  Did a bit of searching online, found out it wasn't open til Tuesday.  Made me sad.  So instead we went to the Titanic exhibit at the Luxor Hotel.  That was quite the site.  The artifacts from such a sad piece of history.  Even a piece of her side was on display there.  It took two years to desalt the metal and keep it from rusting out.  The pieces that belonged to passengers, some survived, most not.  Chilling to see.

Also, before we even took our tour, we had our pictures taken.  The guy doing it really has the personality to do the job.  I am ordering a copy of one of our photos.  Gonna be an anniversary gift for Ryan.  In honor of this trip. *smile*
