CES

in january we took a road trip to Vegas with our best buds greg and jalaine. we went for the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES). the show is all about the cool new electronic gadgets for '08. This is our 3rd time going and we always have a blast... ever since eric's been with best buy we haven't missed a show. i mean with eric working there it's almost a given that we go...he just has to know about all the cool stuff he's gonna be installing in cars. it's fun to see the latest and greatest of everything electronic...like the new microsoft surface. we saw a demonstration and it was pretty amazing! we usually go to the show for a day and spend the rest of the time bumming around. whenever we go to vegas it's our tradition to hit up the cheesecake factory! we absolutely love it! we've been talking about opening a franchise in utah...but someone beat us to it...and we're glad b/c now we can enjoy it anytime (not just when we're in vegas, cali or hawaii). eventhough we have one here now we still went to the one in vegas. we also went to the m&m factory, the belagio buffet and...of course we went shopping!

we stayed at the southpoint hotel & casino, it's on the strip but about 5 miles south (which is nice b/c we avoid the craziness of the main strip). we loved it b/c it had so many fun things to do, like a 24 hour bowling alley. in one of the pictures you can see greg and eric racing up to the top of the stairs -where the bowling alley was - it looked like a tie, but i think greg one (i mean he does have a couple inches on eric so his long legs beat him by a hair). in bowling, greg came in first, jalaine second, me third and eric LAST! sad for him...but wonderful for me b/c that was the first time i'd ever beaten him! haha...i think i bet him a massage but never got it of course!

in our shopping adventure we went to h&m...i was sorely disappointed and didn't buy a thing! the one in san francisco was gynormous and amazing...i wanted to buy the whole store, but this one was a lot smaller than my express. oh well...i just spent all my money at urban outfitters b/c that's one of my favortie stores.

our trip to vegas was a short, fun 3 day trip. we can only handle so much of vegas at once so 3 days was long enough.
