Julie and I met some of my cousins again in LasVegas! It's been while due to Amy & Jeff's wedding last October. Since we all had varied vacation plans throughout 2012, summer was the only time that worked for everyone. It was around 105 degrees every day because we went just before July 4th, which allowed us to see some fireworks, a first in Vegas for us! Mariah turned 21 in March so she joined us this year for a whirlwind 36 hour visit. We showed her our version of Vegas, gamble some, eat a lot, and drink a little. We started out at Ricardo's for a fabulous mexican lunch buffet with tequila shots for dessert. The other amazing meals we had were at BLT Burger in the Mirage, Jamm's Restaurant for breakfast/brunch, and Broadway Pizzeria for NY style pizza. Yum!

Amy won twice at Bingo in the same session! That was also a first for any of us. We took Mariah downtown for the Freemont Street Experience on Saturday night. There were some crazy freaks out so we quickly exited the area after one show. I chose for us to go see a water and light show at Sam's Town. It was a pretty neat show but would have been even better at night. Obviously we did a lot more but we need to keep some secrets, right?! A great time as always!
