Vegas Trip

We had a 6:30am flight the day after Christmas for Vegas to visit Craig's family.  It was a quick last minute trip so were only there for three nights.  The first night we took his whole family to dinner at an Italian restaurant.  We had a great time seeing his family.  We were so exhausted from our early flight so we went back to our hotel (Mandalay Bay) after dinner.  We started to watch a movie and I pretty much crashed.  Craig went gambling for a little bit and won some money.

The second day Craig went gambling with his Dad at the local casino while his Mom & I went to the movies.  We saw The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  I read all three books so I was so excited to see it and it was really good.  I can't wait for the next movie to come out.  Afterwards we went to dinner with Craig's parents and Aunt Violet.  Then we went home and changed and went out for drinks, but I forgot to take pictures.

The last night we went to dinner at Jaleo, which is in the Cosmopolitan.  We met Craig's client/friend Matt and his wife Kim, Kim's sister Tiffany and her husband Colin.  They all live in Chicago, but Kim and Tiffany's parents have a house in Vegas and they are there part of the year.  It was my first time meeting Kim, Tiffany and Colin and they were all so nice and fun to hang out with.  It was great seeing Matt again too.  We've been talking about getting together forever so it's funny it happened in Vegas.  We had dinner and then had a few drinks in another bar in the hotel.  We hope to see them again in Chicago soon.
