back to the real world

First day back after spending time in Vegas with Mom and Dad. I really enjoyed it...it was the first time I've been on a vacation with my parents as a grown-up, and it was a lot of fun. Gambling, slot machines, showing off Vegas, laughing and shaking our heads at what some women will wear, drinking margaritas and strawberry daiquiris, getting into that "Vegas zone" where the hours blur, bills become Monopoly money, and you eat like you just normally wouldn't. Like I said: fun.

As birthday presents to myself go, this was one of my favorites.
