The Three Musketeers!: May 2009

Tubing!

What a Blast!
This was Joe's first time tubing and he did an awesome job! Of course Dave did everything he could to throw us off and was successful several times! Then Joe took over the boat so Dave could have a turn!

Me trying to ski!

Well, I did pretty well but I did have one major issue!
AUTOMIC WEDGY!!
Wholly cow did it hurt. I only tried 3 times and decided that my behind had had enough!

Going down!

Chillin' out while the guys did all of the work!
Now this is a vacation!

After doing all of the tubing and skiing but before we headed back to the docks we decided just to take a very relaxing boat ride around the lake! The scenery was just beautiful!

Joe took over the boat while we dropped off Dave to get the truck and trailer! He and Dave worked extremely well together and got the boat on the trailer perfectly straight the first time!

I think Jacob was pooped.
What do you think?

Takin' a walk in Reno, NV!

I love her to pieces!

Awww! I think it's safe to say we missed each other....ALOT!

Isn't she beautiful?

Cindy pushing Kelly in the fountain!

JAPANESE STEAKHOUSE!

For dinner we all went out to a Japanese steakhouse! We had delicious food and a ton of fun together!

The Girls!

Our awesome chef setting an onion on fire!
Very Cool!

WINE WALK!

While visiting Cindy, her friend Kelly wanted to have a girl's day out for her birthday and decided to take us all to a "wine walk"! I had no clue what that was... I just figured it had something to do with wine and walking, LOL! I was pretty close with that assumption but didn't realize how fun it would be! We got our adorable wine glasses at this boutique and then from there you go door to door to all of these stores and sample a ton of different wines. I had so much fun getting to know Cindy's friends! Thank you Kelly for an awesome time!

PARIS!

The Paris Hotel!
We did not spend much time in this hotel but it was beautiful from the outside! It is so neat how they incorporated the Eiffel Tower over the other buildings. They also had the "Arc de Triumph" right beside this building but I didn't take a pic. of it!

Inside Paris!
I took a pic. of this bridge because I have seen the actual bridge in Paris. It was so cool to see a replica of a place I have actually been to!

Paris at night was gorgeous!

THE VENETIAN!

The following 3 posts were all taken from The Venetian! This was probably our favorite hotel out of all of them! It was amazing! Inside looked like a beautiful city in Italy with a canal running through it. Gondalas were constantly taking people through the canal and the Gondaliers were singing beautiful Italian operas. We ate at a wonderful Mexican restaurant located right on the canal so we were serenaded all through dinner!

Human Statue!

Wax replicas of the Blue Man Group!

THE BLUE MAN GROUP!

Our first show that we went to was The Blue Man Group! I have always wanted to see them perform but have never gotten the chance and that went for Joe as well. So when I saw that they were performing at The Ventian I told Joe and he bought tickets right away. We had incredible seats (front section on the isle). The reason the isle was so cool was because they actually go through the audience and choose members to help in their act. One of them stopped right beside me and just stared at me for like 2 min. It was so awesome to be that close!

The INCREDIBLE band! These suits lit up when they were playing!

One of the blue men! I was the first to get something signed too. I had a Las Vegas t-shirt with me so he put a huge blue hand print on the back!
The show was amazing!

These 2 pics of the bathtubs were takin' at the entrance of a club in the Venetian! It was such a strange decoration to me. There were about 5 on each side and they were devided by these huge partitions. I guess only in Vegas will you see bathtubs as decoration!

The next 2 pics were takin' in front of Maddame Tussaud's wax musuem. It was actually closed at the time so I took these through the window. I thought they were extremely realistic!
