Sad to be back home.......

Rick working at the True Spot booth

Well we are back from once again a great vacation to Vegas. We had super nice weather, it was in the 70's and sunny. We could not have asked for better weather. On Thursday we rented a van and drove out to Red Rock Canyon. It was so pretty there. The pictures really do not show how pretty it was. The men decided they would do a little rock climbing as you can see in the picture. They are pretty high when I took the picture I was just zoomed way in. Friday was the first day of shooting. I got to shoot by Rick so that was fun. I always sign us up together that way we usually get to shoot near each other the first 2 days. Before shooting Rick worked in the True Spot booth for a couple hours. He had lots of fun doing it. Friday night we went to the BCY party at the top of the Rivera. It was good food and wine like always. Saturday we had to shoot at 10:00 so we got done pretty early. Rick when back to the True Spot booth to work again and went to watch Hannah get a tattoo on her back. I like it a lot. Hannah only has to shoot 2 days as she is still shooting as a young adult. She did super good winning her class! We were all very excited that she won. Sunday was the final day of shooting. I had to shoot at 7:00 in the morning. It sucks to get up early but it is nice to be done. I shot much better then last year so I was happy. I had fun shooting this year, it was much more relaxing then last year. Rick shot at 10:00. After he was done shooting we went for a walk down the strip. We walked almost to the end and back. It was a long walk but fun. We stopped along the way to eat and check out some of the casinos. I actually got to wear shorts and I got sunburned. It was great!!! Monday we slept in and then had to pack up our bags. We met a few people and went out for a late breakfast and then walked down the strip aways. Another archer got married on Monday so we went to the wedding. It was funny when we got there and told them that we had gotten married there last year. The lady who runs the place was so excited. She had to gives us both big hugs and then gave me a rose. It was fun to see someone else get married there.  We  gambled a little all weekend. I left being up $4 and Rick lift being up just over $100. He was a lucky gambler all weekend. We left for the airport and were on our way back home at 7:10. We go back to the snow and cold at 12:10. I was glad that it was 35 degrees here but it still felt cold to me. Yesterday I spent all day unpacking and doing laundry. I am back to work today and sad to be back. It is always hard to come back after a great vacation. I think a need another few days off!!
Later Sharon
