Viva Las Vegas!!!

Justin's 30th birthday was on Thursday so to celebrate we went to Vegas with my sister & Travis. We had an early flight to catch on Friday morning so on Thursday night we stayed by the airport in Seattle. We had birthday dinner at 13 Coins (one of our favorite restaurants!) then headed to the hotel. We woke up at 5am to Travis yelling "VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!" Anyone that knows Travis knows that there is nothing quiet about him, even at 5am! :) When we got to the airport our step-brother, Zack, was there flying to Yakima for mom & Jim to pick him up. We were able to get him from his gate, take him to breakfast & visit with him until we had to catch our flight. He lives in Montana so we don't get to see him very often - it was great to be able to see him!!

When we got to Vegas on Friday we walked around & looked at everything that was on The Strip. Justin LOVED that we could buy beer & drink it while we were walking around outside or in the mall! We had dinner at Cheesburger in Paradise then needless to say, after drinking & some crazy cab rides we were all exhausted so we called it an early night & headed to bed.

Saturday we were up early, ate breakfast at the buffet at out hotel then headed out to The Strip again. While we were walking through the casino at Ceasar's Palace we saw Lori from Real Housewives of Orange County! Travis was SO excited (I don't think he has missed an episode!) & asked if he could take a picture with her! HAHA - he was so star-struck!!! She was very nice & excited that Travis watches the show.

We did more walking around & ended up at a piano bar inside Harrah's. We were hanging out there when Travis spotted John from Deadliest Catch (captain of the Time Bandit). He pulled a table & chairs to his table & asked us to join him! Travis couldn't believe it - first Lori, now John!! We stayed there for a couple of hours then we all headed to Toby Keith's bar upstairs where we stayed for the rest of our night.
