After spending a little less than a week in Texas with our family, we flew back to California for our last two weeks together before Chris deployed. The next day we took off again...this time for Las Vegas! It's only about a 5 hour drive from where we lived in California, so we took advantage and had a quick mini-vacation. We visited several different casinos (mostly playing video blackjack...our favorite), enjoyed the nightlife, and saw Blue Man Group one night. We both would really recommend seeing Blue Man Group to anyone going to Vegas...very entertaining!! I was only asked for my ID in one casino...the guy thought I was still in high school :( Oh well...I'm told I'll appreciate it when I'm older! We didn't walk away with any money, but we had a really good time getting away and just spending time with each other!
Here's some pictures of our first visit to Vegas...

When we left, we decided to make a stop at the Hoover Dam on our way home. It was only about 30 minutes away and we were glad we took advantage! Neither of us had ever been and we were both just amazed!
We were very blessed to be able to get away together before Chris deployed! We made some great memories and I can't wait for him to come home so we can make many more!
