Viva Las Vegas



To start off our trip out west we spent the long weekend in St. George (Utah) with everyone in Megster's family (except for Jenny). We had a great time hanging out and hiking. The landscape was beautiful and there was no snow and that is always a plus when you are coming from Michigan in the middle of winter.



This is a picture taken in Snow Canyon just up the street from Craig and Debbie's place. It was a fantastic place to explore. After a day of exploring it was nice to come home to a house and just relax.



After leaving St. George we headed south to Las Vegas. The whole reason for our trip out west was for James to attend the Western Veterinary Conference. He attended sessions Monday through Thursday focusing mostly on seminars dealing with practice management. He found them very interesting and was glad to be able to attend them because vet school is not known for their business teaching. :) We found a great condo to stay in (for only $99 a night!) with a full kitchen, dining room (pictured above) and two LCD TVs.



While James was at his conference Megan and Brielle explored the city. They went to every major hotel on the strip and went to all the free shows. We were also able to attend a LeAnn Rimes concert that was sponsored by James' conference.

Megs, you look great in those photos! Looks like a fun trip. I'm jealous of your snow-less adventures. I don't think this stuff is ever going to leave! Maybe we should plan a trip to St. George to visit my sis!

What a fun trip! I've got spring fever so bad- I'm secretly trying to figure out a cheap way to make it down to So Cal for a little trip. Not likely it will happen, but fun to think about. :)

You do look great! Brielle is such a cutie, and growing up so fast.

Thanks for the recommendation of podcasts. I just downloaded a couple of the MormomMomCasts... very cool.
