I am a Vegas virgin no more!!!! Brent and I just got back from my very first trip to Las Vegas, Brent had to go for a Corptax training, and I went to have some fun!!! It was so nice to just be by myself, doing what I want, not having to check with anyone or answer to anyone!!! So basically, I relaxed and shopped. Oh yeah, and we went and saw this:


It was fantastic!!! We both loved it. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good musical, and who grew up listening to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. (disclaimer: it said that it was not suitable for children under 12, but I would make that 16. After all, these guys were from Jersey!!!!)

I absolutley LOVE Philadelphia!!! Since both Brent and I love history, it was one of our most favorite trips. Standing in Independance Hall, where the Declaration of Independance was signed gave both of us chills (the good kind). Touring Eastern State Penitentiary (the oldest penitentiary in the country) gave us chills as well... the not so good kind. It totally creeped both of us out!!! We didn't spend too much time standing in the cells!!! On Sunday we walked around Philly and ended up at the best park!!! I think it was called Rittenhouse Square? It was so cool, and made me decide that we needed to move to the east coast, stat!!!!

City Hall with the statue of William Penn atop it...


The room where the Declaration of Independance was signed....


The actual chair that George Washington sat in...


Independance Hall...


The oldest residential street in the country, Elfreth's Alley, where people still live (it would get so annoying with all the tourists!!!)
