what happens in Vegas goes on the internet

The soundclash was the main event, but it's not like we'd go all the way to Vegas and only go to a concert

 

even if Elvis did show up!

We checked out some of what Sin City had to offer such as the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas (fancy), which was pretty cool. Andrea even got the opportunity to check out the inside of a huge shoe!

We also stopped by the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens.

We made the mistake of going to eat fast food Filipino/Chinese food... blech, never again.

On the plus side the market that was attached to the little gastronomical nightmare had some gigantic pomelos that would be great to get a picture with:

It was all fine and nice, and then it came time to comeback home... yeah, never leaving Sunday morning ever again!  I think we were parked on the highway for at least an hour and rarely were going over 20 until we left Nevada.

What could be more fun than seeing Cee Lo Green?

How about The Ting Tings?

What about seeing them play together, literally?

Yes, that would be OK.  It would probably have to be one of those red bull soundclash shows. 

I might enjoy that, but it would be really cool if they play some songs by the Clash.

The only thing that would make that better would be if the tickets were only $15.

I guess we could go with somebody.

That would be fun!

Maybe someday...

back to the future: lost vegas

WHAT?!?! now we're in Las Vegas again?

Now I remember, we're on our honeymoon! That was fun: seeing all the fun free stuff, bumping into friends and family, what a grand time to be had by all.

(Jaala and Harrison were shrunk with us when we went to see visit the flower garden)
(world's biggest chocolate fountain, or something like that. I swear we're not obsessed with the delicious cocoa bean treat from the heavens)

WORD

UP!

wax.

breakfast of champions!!

here's the recipe:

1) drive through the ghetto to find a grocery store in the middle of the night

1a) find tastiest cookies in the whole world (or at least Andrea's fav) ON SALE!!!

2) realize there's no fridge in the room

3) fill the sink with ice

4) insert milk into sink of ice

5) call room service for extra glasses

6) pour milk

7) dunk cookies

8) enjoi!

oh yeah, and it IS possible to have the world spin in Vegas with out alcohol or illegal substances.

It's fun to get pictures with random German tourists.

I also recommend watching the Bellagio fountain show from the top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris, then you don't have to battle smelly tourists for a good view.

MY BIRTHDAY - by andre

Is it Labor Day weekend already? Then I guess it's time for a road trip. And what better way is there to start a trip than the proper way, with In-N-Out!!!

Yup, cheeseburgers animal style, pink lemonade, chocolate milkshake, and fries. This would be the fuel for the 4 1/2 hours ride to the city of sin. (take that Google maps, beat ya by an hour!)

When we finally got there we went to the mecca of chocolate. It was DELICIOUS!!!!! If you ever get a chance to find yourself in such far flung locals as Vegas, Philly, or NYC in the States, or you find yourself in South East Asia in the Philippines or Singapore, a little further south in Australia, or in Israel (all the places you would expect a chocolate based restaurant would set up shop) you should stop in for the best peanut butter shake of your life.

(thanks to Jaala for the photographic evidence and sharing her Mexican Hot Chocolate)

So that was all nice and good, but THEN we went to... THE PINBALL HALL OF FAME!!!!

It was pretty sick (good sick, not bad sick).

so far, so good.
