Aloha, everyone!
The boys & I are in Las Vegas for a little R&R and also to celebrate their birthdays. This has become a tradition of sorts ever since they turned 21 yrs. old and is strictly boys-only. It’s been non-stop since we landed and I’m already starting to feel a little tired since I don’t sleep very well in hotels. The weather’s been pretty nice, though … cold, but clear and sunny.  
 We started off the morning with breakfast at Hash House a Go-G0, a place we saw on the Travel Channel which serves enormous portions food. Check out the photo of my pork tenderloin Benedict – awesome! That evening we decided to hang on the Strip and had dinner at the City Center – what a HUGE place! It really is like a miniature city with hotels, shopping, dining, and offices and condos – very modern and sort of reminds me of Tokyo. After we were done, we walked over to the Bellagio and Caesar’s Palace. We checked out the atrium in the Bellagio … the flowers and decor were stunning! Many of the lobby decorations featured the Chinese New Year with dragons and stuff … pretty nice! 
We’re going to head downtown today … maybe do a little shopping at the Premium Outlets Mall. Probably hit Main Street Station’s Triple 7 pub first … great brewskies and their sushi and fish & chips are awesome!
Aloha, “D”
