Vegas, Bakersfield and Travel Mania
Ξ June 28th, 2009 | → | ∇ Griffin Updates |
Well I am finally getting caught up to more current times. This last month I spent mostly in other places. It has been pretty crazy due to this fact. Plus I am taking a summer class, but since Jonathan and I only have the one computer I had to work my butt off on the class over the weekends so that I would not need to take our family computer with us on my work trips. The first work trip I went on was one to Vegas. Here are a couple of pictures of the area. And of course, again there will be quite a few with no people. I know guys. I am a weirdo.
This is a picture at the M&M store. They have a lot of fun little things in there. They even had a 3D movie about how red lost his M. It was worth it, if for nothing else than the air conditioning.
What was even more fun is I got to see the Bellagio water show for my first time. I have been to Vegas 3 times total and always missed it before. The first time I was there they weren’t running it because it was too windy and I am not sure why or how I missed it the second time. But it was great to watch it this time.
I have a partial video of the show, but unfortunately I am not 100% sure on how to post it on this blog. So, maybe i will figure it out later and update this post. In the meantime this picture will have to do.
The best part of my trip to Vegas was our awesome experience at the Bellagio. Thanks to my parents I was able to go with a coworker to see “Cirque Du Soleil, O”, it was so amazing. Here are a few pictures of the Bellagio conservatory. My coworker and I did some walking around just before we went to the show.
This was the ceiling in the O auditorium. It was really neat because at the beginning a woman was suspended in the middle of that little twisty thing and was spinning around as it was lowered down. I didn’t get any pictures of the show itself, but that was of course because they were very adamant about people putting their cameras away. I didn’t want to get kicked out because of a few pictures. And the great thing is I was able to fit all of this in between all of my conferences I had to go to most of the day on both days we were there. It was well worth it though! The conference was great, I learned a lot, and the show was amazing!!! Thanks Mom and Dad!!!
I don’t have any pictures of Bakersfield, but the following week I had to go to Bakersfield for training and a meeting with my team. Most all of my team is located in Bakersfield so the 3 of us that are remote traveled there in order to meet the rest of the team.
This week for the 4th, Jonathan and I are excited because we are going to be able to go visit our friends Paul and Robyn and then we are all going to drive to Myrtle Beach for the 4th. Whew! The last few weeks have been crazy, but they have been a lot of fun. We are just excited to finally get out of town for vacation. It has been a while since both Jonathan and I have left town for any kind of rest and relaxation so this is going to be great!!!
