Valentine's Day

John and I usually end up working on Valentine's day. The first two we spent together we were both working, all day. This year we both worked, but at 9 pm we packed our bags and headed for Vegas. We only got to stay for two days but it was worth it. We drove all night, slept in the back seat of the car when we got tired, and had a blast driving up and down The Strip. We spent alot of our time hanging out at the Arcade at Circus Circus (we won two lava lamps) and went to the Adventuredome and road all the rides, twice.

There was this exhibit at the Luxor hotel called "Bodies" that we went to as well. Long story short, it is an exhibit where real humans have donated their bodies to be cut up and preserved so we can look at them and see what is inside our bodies. All the muscles, tendons, bones, brains, you name it its there. And you get to walk through and look at them. You can tell they are real. Its not hard at all. They still have their toenails and fingernails. You can see the hair foliciles. Some of them still had bits and pieces of their eyebrows. It was really gross and disgusting but very education as well.

All in all, it was a great vacation. Even though we only got to stay for a few days, it was a well needed vacation and well needed time to spend together. John and I work so much we hardly ever have time to enojoy each other. I can't wait for the first week of March to get here, we leave for Maui then. And will be gone for an entire week!
