Vegas and Vegas

Pete and I had two trips to Las Vegas in one week! The first, we took my room mate Laura to the Airport when her contract ended so she could fly back to Milwaukee and would not have to suffer the shuttles from Cedar City to St. George and St. George to Vegas. Since I had no rehearsals that day and we were in town anyway, we decided to have lunch and see the Bellagio fountains which we had not gotten a chance to see the last time we were in Vegas two summers ago.

We had lunch at the buffet in Paris where Pete's parents had taken us for our anniversary a couple of years ago. It's pretty wonderful, the whole thing is broken up by province and the food is fantastic. After lunch, we walked across the street to the fountains and although it took three tries, we finally saw a whole song of the dancing water.

The end of this same week, we were supposed to go up to Salt Lake City and Orem, to see the Bees and Owls baseball teams. But the stage manager that I am understudying got a flu bug that has been going around the company so we decided to stay close to home in case I had to cover any of her rehearsals. Luckily, it was only a 24 hour flu and she was better the next day.





So instead of Bees and Owls, we drove to Vegas on Sunday and saw an Area 51s game. I wasn't sure if we would get a game in, and it wasn't a big deal because we saw the 51s a couple of years ago, but it was a perfect day for Baseball. It was 102 degrees, so we got seats in the shade which also had misters and ceiling fans. The Area 51s beat the Sacramento River Cats and all in all, it was a great day.

We were HOT when we finally made it back to Cedar City, luckily, there is a pool right on the other side of our apartment!!
