Vegas: Night life edition

 Our first night on the strip we just walked around a bunch.  We saw this lame show that the Treasure Island put on.  We got our feet nice and tired.  We ate at a buffet.  It was a nice, typical Vegas night.


 The second night we went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner at the Cesar's Forum shops.  We hung out at the Planet Hollywood checking out some fun stuff.  Clare and I tried the oxygen bar and water massage beds.  The massage was nice, the oxygen was weird and pretty pointless.  We had a fun time getting to know Clare and Mark a little better, stayed up way too late, and had an amazingly fun night.

 The animated show at Caesar's Palace.




 When we left the Cesar's, we noticed a huge crowd of people so we stopped to check it out and they were waiting for Celine Dion to get out of her show and ride home in her Roles Royce.  We waited for a little while but didn't have the patience to wait long enough to see her.

 Our third night was the best.  We ate an awesome dinner at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill and then went to see the Cirque de Sollie "O" at Bellagio.  The show did not disappoint.  Two years ago we saw Ka and loved it so we chose to watch O this time.  It was really amazing and I loved the water aspect and how the stage moved up and down to different depths.

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
