Las Vegas Baby!

In an interesting turn of events two weekends ago (the first weekend in May), Jonathan and I were able to take a trip to visit Curtis, Jenny, and Thomas in Las Vegas!

Thursday evening, May 3rd, we found out that our kickball game for that Saturday had been cancelled due to the opposing team forfeiting.

A couple of hours later, Jonathan mused, "I wonder what Jenny would say if we showed up in Las Vegas tomorrow for a visit..."

My response was something to the effect of: "Well, there's one way to find out for sure..."

Jenny seemed to think it was an alright idea :-)

So, we went searching for tickets to fly out the next day... Luckily I managed to find a nice couple of flights direct to Las Vegas with my recently acquired free Southwest roundtrip ticket. Jonathan found a ticket using American Airlines miles leaving an hour before me from BWI and arriving an hour after me.

We were off on the crazy last-minute trip, and very excited at the prospect of seeing everyone, especially Thomas who was just approaching his five-week-iversary!

Most of the weekend was spent visiting with Curtis & Jenny and playing with the baby, who is completely adorable. He seems quite strong already and active as well :-) I was also quite impressed with how strong his neck muscles are already; he can really hold his head up!

Saturday night, Curtis and Jenny sent us out to see Penn & Teller's show at the Rio Hotel, which was fantastic! They did some truly innovative magic tricks, along with their versions of some of the most classic tricks. In any case, we had a fun time, and maybe we'll get to see their show again sometime :-)
It was incredibly kind and generous of C & J to welcome us on such short notice and even to send us off on an evening by ourselves as well! We had an absolutely fabulous time and are looking forward to seeing them again this summer.

While we were visiting, we managed to snap several photos of the new baby!

I must admit I was quite smitten with Thomas. My comment to Jenny about all the photos I was taking was: "He'll only be the age he is right now. Tomorrow he'll be older and different!"

Yes, I believe my new nickname could very well be Captain Obvious.
