Nikki and I spent the weekend in Las Vegas. My friend and college roommate, Tad, turned 40 this year, and his wife Lindsay wanted to surprise him with a trip to Vegas with his old friends. Chris and I were more than happy to oblige. We managed to keep our appearance a complete surprise and Tad had a really unexpected Friday night. We talked about old times, current times and fantasy times. We managed to watch the Imax version of ‘Watchmen‘ and we caught the Cirque du Soleil show Mystere. Pretty sure Nikki wasn’t wowed with Watchmen like the boys and I were, but she certainly enjoyed Mystere. We were in a front row seat and the clown pulled us into his last act with Chris and I getting taped up so we couldn’t turn around, and Tad being stuck as a candelabra for the clown’s attempted seduction of the cute blond behind us. One of the performers managed to scare Nikki by coming up behind her and staring at her about 3 inches from her face. She ‘felt’ something there, turned, and lept in surprise, much to the enjoyment of all the other patrons. Good times!
Wish we could have stayed one more day.
