poor neglected blog

So much has been going on lately!  We have been on the go-go-go.  Vegas was a blast.  We stayed at the Stratosphere, this is the third time now.  Whenever we go to Vegas, we check in, then hit the Strip after a short rest.  That first day, when we see the other hotels (Mirage, Caesar's Palace) I always vow to stay there the next time.  We walk through the casinos, check out the pools and that's when I realize why we always stay at the Stratosphere - the pool is [basically] empty.  At the Mirage the pool was FULL of people.  It was standing room only, and no kids.  The pool at the "S" is nice with room to swim and play.  Yes, you have to drive when you want to go to the strip, but I think it's worth it.  Besides we are not gamblers or drinkers (not since the boys anyway) so we are happy to swim, visit the white tigers, swim, have dinner on the Strip, then home by 10 or 11.  Boring to some, fun and relaxing for us.  

  We also got some great tickets to a Dodger game.  We invited Erica and had such a good time.  I think good seats make all the difference to my enjoyment of a game.  Here are some pix:
