Our trip to Vegas, aka Sin City, in the fall of 2003 was a perfect example. What started out as a fortuitous opportunity to see a brother visiting from Europe on business, quickly turned into a full-fledged long weekend getaway for a bunch of friends.
Despite the computer convention turning out to be a complete bust, the friend-convention held immediately after that with Kley, Karen, Dirk, Kat, Mark, Sunnee, Chris and Lori was the most fun any of us have had in years.
The ongoing party of casino hopping, shopping, gambling, and eating — foibles and all — lasted 3 days straight. We had so much fun, we instituted a new tradition right there and then. Each fall, all of us get away (sans kids) for a week. Which is how we wound up in Zihua a year later, but that's another story.
We hope you enjoy these pics, we sure did.
