Audra and I decided we needed to get away for a weekend. We really have not had much chance to take a trip just the two of us. In fact, the last time we did that was almost 7 years ago, about the time I promised her I would take her to Vegas. We only stayed two nights and three days, but man did we make the most of it.
I will say that being sober made it a very different trip compared to my previous ones - of course so does being with your Wife, so it's hard to say. No drunken adventures or crazy tales like in the movies. It was okay for this purpose, which was to introduce Audra to the more wholesome side of the city. One thing I have noticed about staying sober is that it is much easier to do in a larger group. If you are with only one or two other people, and those people are drinking, time behaves differently. It makes sense, there seems to be so much more to talk about when there is alcohol involved.
Vegas removes barriers - you can drink on the street, you never have to drive, and sure the drinks are expensive, but so is the diet coke:) This post will contrast the last post by saying that this trip made the positive side of drinking very evident, but that didn't mean I was about to have one - even though what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas;)
She didn't mind either, she will come back later with her girlfriends and misbehave. At least she will know her way around now!
Remember, you can always click the "240p" under the video frame and select "720p" for higher quality. I wish they made that more obvious for people who don't know what 240p means...
ReplyDeleteWow. Audra with a Heiny in the street.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun place! I'm sure you'll want to go there again.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine was just there and got married by an Elvis minister! You name it, they got it.
