Well, I am back from Las Vegas. Actually I have been back for a few days. I had a business conference down in Las Vegas that started last Sunday and went through Wednesday. My mom went with me for it -- I figured since I could have someone come with me and stay at the hotel with that it would be super fun!So she drove down Friday night and we went to the Strawberry Days Rodeo in Pleasant Grove. It was so much fun--we bought several cups of strawberries and cream for 1 BUCK, Dollar, Peso. So cool! I love Strawberry Days for that reason.
And then we took off for Vegas Saturday morning -- we got there in time to head straight for Caesars Palace for dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and then Celine Dion. Awesome show. The music was great, the dancing fabulous, the staging and lighting was phenomenal.
We had a fabulous buffet at the Bellagio. The lobster raviolis, shrimp and prime rib were delectable. The Crème brûlée? Not so great. Paris and Bryce National Park Lodge still take the gold for best Crème brûlée. Go figure on Bryce. I must also add, that Jason made a delicious Crème brûlée. Mmmm.If you've never seen the Bellagio fountains, check out this clip for a little preview (sadly, it isn't one that I took. Mine is over the size limit to upload to YouTube.) The fountains are one of my favorite things to do in Las Vegas.
Then the conference began and with a bang! Lance Armstrong was the opening general session speaker and then we also heard from the teacher that the movie "Freedom Writers" was based on. The conference was great. I learned a lot and have already been able to apply it at work! So that is it!
I think I am going to head off to bed now. Have a happy Sabbath!
