Aaron and I taking a break at the Sacramento RiverWell i've been keeping myself pretty busy these days and my schedule is only getting busier.... April 2-7 Aaron and I went to Vegas for a vacation and to visit some of my family. It was a great trip other than the flying part (I just hate flying!) I was able to visit with my Aunt, Uncle and Cousins, so that was really nice. We got there Thursday and went to dinner with my Cousins for my cousin Jen's b-day, it was super good! Then Friday Aaron and I went to a Cirque de Soleil show "Ka" at the MGM Grand, it was okay, but I think Mystere is better. Then we went down to Freemont Street to the free concerts by Jake Owen and Jason Aldean. Saturday we went to the tournament of Kings at the Excaliber and then headed back down to Freemont Street for free concerts by Kellie Pickler and Leann Rimes. Sunday we went bowling and to dinner with my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin Jen, I love buffets :) Monday was Bass Pro Shops day, we spent over 3 hours in that store and then gambled a little at the Casino there and ate dinner since it was much cheaper than on the strip. Tuesday we had a nice breakfast and then got ready to head home. We slept in late and did a little gambling here and there, i mostly stick to the penny machines, lol. And just an FYI, never use the public transportation bus in Vegas! Its called the deuce and its horrible, we rode it twice and it took us an hour to get from the strip to Freemont Street! Will never ride it again, not to mention the annoying drunk people that ride it. The $20 taxi ride is so worth it!
April 17-18 was the Kool April Nights car show in Redding. I had a bunch of friends come into town and visit so that was fun. I had to work friday night so I slept most of Saturday but we all went out to dinner Saturday and then to the bar.... it was a fun night but the bars just aren't as fun as they used to be. I was missing Aaron the whole time we were there...( he had gotten up really early to go fishing and was too tired to go out) But I did have a blast with all my girl friends that were in town, it was great to see them all.
Aaron and I were able to go on a few bike rides this last weekend through the Anderson River park area. There are some really fun trails and its a great work out. Aaron and I are still getting used to riding but we're getting better. Aaron has been going a lot after work with some of his co-workers, finding new trails for us to ride on.
Other than that I've been working, cooking yummy dinners and spending time with Aaron cuddled up on the couch watching tv. I'm going on a cruise this sunday for 4 days for a bachelorette party. We are flying down to San diego on Sunday (yikes!) and then the ship docks at Catalina for a day and Ensenada for a day, however as of right now, Carnival is not docking in Mexican ports so we may not go to Ensenada. Even if we do dock there, I don't plan on getting off the ship, but i'm sure if one person picks up the swine flu, everyone on board will get it because ships are such close quarters. I'm not very concerned about it though, no one in the US has even died from the swine flu yet and the regular human flu kills 40,000 people in the US every year. I'm just watching the news and seeing what happens by this weekend.....
