Travelicious Treats
January 26th, 2007This weekend Stevel and I went to Las Vegas to meet up with Kelly and her boyfriend, Blake. We stayed in the very cool MGM Grand West Wing. This was a surprise to us, as I didn’t even realize this was what I had reserved. Contemporary rooms. Neat! One highlight of the trip was a visit to see the dolphins and big cats at the Mirage—well worth the entrance fee. Kelly seems to be doing really well. How wonderful to see her and to meet Blake. Overall, I think this was the most enjoyable time I’ve had in Vegas. Here are photos from the trip.
Yesterday David and I took advantage of some vacation time he had and headed down to the San Diego Zoo. No matter how many times I visit this place, I am never tired of it. We saw lots of baby animals, had an encounter with a playful jaguar, and walked our legs off. Here are photos from that trip. And a very special treat, my debut on YouTube: SWAMP MONKEYS!

YAY! Yesterday I scrapbooked the pictures from our trip to the San Diego Zoo. Such a fun place.

[...] I only mention this sort of lame exchange becuase later that evening I ran into another one of Kristan’s blog entries, or rather, the subject of one. After a lovely evening at the ball, Dave agreed to get the car and pick me up at the door. The orientation of the lobby of the William Penn means that you can’t really see out into the street, so I took a swing out through the revolving doors to check the street. No Dave. But on my way back in, I caught out of the corner of my eye Kelly coming into the hotel behind me! It was such a crazy coincidence. Kelly, who is from Baltimore, was not only in Pittsburgh for a wedding reception, but she just happened to be entering the hotel at that exact moment I was leaving–at nearly midnight. It was so fun to see her and catch for a too-brief moment. Thanks Kristan, as I somehow feel your blog is at the root of this! [...]
