So, we're home now. Our flight landed in Reading airport at 1 AM this morning....its 4 AM now and we're still up...still on Pacific time in our heads. We had a GREAT time! RadioShack threw a great party (which is why we were in Vegas in the first place). Stephen made something called the "Leaders Club" for the entire year last year and everyone who did that got honored with an entire week at Peak of Performance (which was the name of the event for the entire week). He got his Leader's Club ring (10K gold with 1/4 carat diamond) and he is very proud of it. We got to meet Vanessa Williams, Howie Long, and Terry Bradshaw at the reception that Stephen got his ring. We got pictures taken with them too. They were there b/c they do commercials for RS. We stayed at the Aladdin, which is right across the street from the Bellagio. Did LOTS of walking!!! I took 130 pictures while we were there! On Tuesday night, RS rented the ESPN Zone which is a sports bar in New York New York. Its 2 floors, the bottom is more of a bar and the top was a game room. There was all we could eat buffet, an open bar (RS picked up the tab), and then they gave us game cards where we could play as many games as we wanted to and didn't have to pay for it. So, that night, there was 5 hours of great fun there. On Wednesday, we had the whole day to ourselves. We walked the stripe, watched the fountains at the Bellagio, watched the show in front of Treasure Island, saw the volcano erupt at the Mirage (saw the white tigers), and looked at the eifle tower. On Thursday we went to see the Blue Man Group. That was a GREAT show! If we don't go back for anything else, it will be to see that show again. I totally reccommend it for anyone who goes to Vegas. We saw that at the Luxor. So...anyways, we had agreat week. I'll post pictures in a couple of days...after I've done ALL of our laundry and straightened up the house (our luggage exploded when I tore into the bags to find all the stuff that I got from vegas!!!)

Just one idea. I like teacups.I kind of collect them...I only really buy them when I see them at auctions...but I do like them. A few months ago a shelf that I used to display some of my favorite cups fell off the wall and a few of them broke. After I dealt with the shock and sadness (I really loved some of the cups that broke), I picked the pieces up and threw them away. Stephen dug through the garbage and hid them from me hoping to find duplicates on-line and buy them for me. Well, we were walking down the stripe one evening and something caught my eye in the landscaping of the Bellagio. There was a huge pot that looked like it was half buried in the soil. There weren't flowers coming out of it or anything, it was just there as an accent. So, I decided that I'm going to do that in my side yard....the one that I'm getting the shady perrenials (hostas, bleeding hearts, etc.) and I'm going to put my lovely broken cups as accents there.
