It's never easy coming home from vacation, but it was particularly difficult for me to go from sunny Las Vegas to 10 degrees and snowy in Cincinnati. I also seemed to have brought back a nasty cold with me. To cheer me up, I've been looking at some of my trip photos and thought I'd share some with you.
Sporting my Rock N Roll Las Vegas marathon t-shirt after the race.
One of my favorite places in Vegas - The Wine Cellar at the Rio.
A beautiful Christmas tree at the Aria.
A random guy at Caesar's Palace who was dressed as Santa Claus, with a (real) monkey, who was also dressed as Santa. Seriously. Only in Vegas.
Fancy-pants dinner at N9ne Steakhouse. Great dinner, but Jeff Ruby's is still better.
Surrounded by penguins at the Bellagio! First monkeys, now penguins! (It's a real zoo out there.)
While I planned a lot of the trip in advance, sometimes the best things are the ones you just stumble into. I found out while heading up the elevator to do zip lining on Fremont St. (no pictures, unfortunately), that Louis Prima Jr. and his swing band were playing a free concert! It was a great show... it would have been his father's 100th birthday.
Mount Charleston. It was 70 degrees in Vegas that afternoon, but a 30-minute drive up the mountain and there was snow on the ground. I am amazed by this phenomenon.
What a festive intersection! I wonder if Santa lives there?
Or maybe this little guy?
