As usual we had a great time on our annual trip to Vegas for NASCAR weekend. We made it in time on Thursday to catch the hauler parade. It was pretty sweet. I'll have a video of it on my you tube page. Friday dawn and I drove to Chinatown to check out a few stores and a couple of our favorite restaurants. I'll do a food update next. Friday evening my mom and dad flew into town. Saturday we and lunch at the Stage Deli at the Mirage and lunch dessert at Max Brenner in the Forum Shops. Wow Max Brenner was good. For dinner Saturday we had planned on driving to Joe's Crab Shack but the gps took us to a closed location so we ended up at Landry's Seafood. I had some great Oysters there. Sunday was race day and even tho Jeff Gordon blew a tire and slammed the wall we still had a great time. We finally have some really good seats after going to the race for 10 years. Sunday night and the drive home were rather taxing but that is for another post. We can't wait for our next trip to Vegas...the best place for a quick get a way in the country. We may take the kids in July or August. They love the pool at the Mirage.

The food, the gambling, the Strip,
