Back to the cold and work.....



I am sad to say that I am back to work today. It always sucks coming back after a wonderful vacation. It really sucks to come back to such cold weather after being in 70 degree weather for 5 days.
So the vacation went great. We got into Vegas about 6:00. By the time we got to the hotel and all checked in everyone was starving. So a bunch of us went out for a late supper. By then we were all shot so we headed off to bed.
Thursday Rick and I took a limo ride to the courthouse to get our marriage license. The hotel takes you there for free when you get married in there chapel. After that we walked down the strip and just did a little sight seeing. At 3:45 we headed down to the chapel for the wedding. The wedding went great. We had 32 people there. It was great to see so many people there to be with us on our day. After the wedding about 24 of us all headed to the Belagio for supper. We ate at the buffet. It was so good. They had everything you could think of to eat. It was some pretty fancy food. After that we walked back to the Rivera and called it a night. It was a great day.
Friday was our first day of shooting. We did not have to shoot until 4:00 so we slept in. Then we went down to the trade show and spent a little money. We also went and watch some of the other people shoot. We had to go back down to the wedding chapel and pick out our pictures. I was very happy with them. We got a bunch of pictures with our wedding package. Some of the pictures are the ones I posted yesterday. By then it was 4:00 and time to shoot. Rick and I were on the same bale so that was nice. We also shot with a guy from Canada and one more from MN. They were both fun people to shoot with. After shooting we went to the BCY party for some free food and drinks.
Saturday we had to shoot at 10:00. The days shooting did not go so well for me. But I still had lots of fun. After shooting we headed out for some more sight seeing. We stopped at New York, New York for some lunch and ran into a bunch of the MN people. There was 3 different groups of people and we all ended up at the same place for lunch, it was pretty funny. After lunch Steve Washena, Rick and I walked to the end of the strip. Once we got there we took a cab to the Welcome to Vegas sign and then back to the hotel. We finished the night off by going to the Archers Appreciation dinner. By the time that was done it was 10:00 so we headed off the bed.
Sunday we had to get up bright and early so I could shoot at 7:00. I shot better on Sunday then I did on the first two days. I got 6th place in my flight so I won $40.00. Rick shot at 1:00 and then we watched to pro's in the shoot-off. After that was done a bunch of us headed for Fremont Street to check out the old part of Vegas. When we got back Rick and I walked around some of the other hotels and casinos. Then we went out for a late night supper.
Monday we packed up everything and checked out of the hotel. We had lots of time to waste since our plane did not leave until 7:00. So Eric, Serena, Rick and I spend some time walking around and doing a little gambling. Rick won around $20. and Eric was the big winner, winning almost $200. At 4:00 we all headed to the airport and were in the air at 7:00. We got back to MN at 12:00 and got home at 2:00.
Yesterday I was so tired. I had to run up to Savage and get Dexter from Cassie. It was a long drive because I was so tired. I did not do much the rest of the day. Last night we had league in Waseca but I did not shoot a score.
Vacation time is over and it is back to work for me!
Later Sharon
