But Did We Become Wayniacs?

Sooo......Vegas. In true Illingworth style, our trip out to Vegas was a bit bumpy and included irritating waiting and flooded floors of hotel rooms and exhaust inhalation and the usual travel drama. But there was some other stuff too.

We stayed at the MGM Grand........so grand they put "grand" right in the title!

Then we went to New York City, ya'll!

Then we went to Paris France and saw a big fountain.

Then we were caged like the wild animals we are.....
Caged

Then Ryan fought a mighty dragon!

Then the mighty dragon forced Ryan to play the Slot Machine So Big only Dragons Can Play It.

Then I won!........................(one cent)
Winner!

Then Ryan lost.....................(all our money)
Loser....

We also ate free Nathan's Hot Dogs and watched the fountain at the Bellagio and walked 52 miles and gawked at the high rollers and were crushed by all the idiots on top of the Eiffel Tower and saw a bizarre show in the middle of the Forum Shops at Ceasar's Palace and went to the Shark's Reef and almost got suckered into a two hour time share presentation and saw a dude drinking two beers on the elevator at 9am and ordered room service. It was definitely better than our original honeymoon which is another story for another lifetime. We laughed a lot. We ate a lot. We lost a little.

But friends....there's more. Perfect Ryan did something for me that will get him out of trouble for the next ten years. Something so self-less....so surprising....so out of character.

RYAN TOOK ME TO SEE CELINE DION.

And now....I can die happy.
