My 30th Birthday & Las Vegas!

I reached the ripe old age of 30 on the 11th November so to show how grown up and mature I have become I thought I would celebrate in Hooters!, well it was “Wingsday Wednesday” and the chicken baskets were on special..

After the meal was finished the girls of Hooters all came over and sung a birthday song for me and I got a souvenir photo:

(all Heather’s idea – honest! She joke’s that I told her Hooter’s was an '’Owl Sanctuary!”)

The best man at my wedding, was in Houston for the week so he visited NASA (Heathers third visit with guests in as many weeks!) and shopped till’ he dropped.  On Thursday we flew to Las Vegas to meet another old friend of mine living in Chicago.  We were all joined on Friday by two work colleagues and friends and has a really great, childish, barely sober time.  We stayed at the Flamingo – because it was a decent cheap hotel right on the strip and not because Donnie and Marie Osmond were playing!, but my favourite casinos were the Bellagio, Paris and New York, New York.

The spectacular fountains outside the Bellagio 

Somehow after three very late nights of eating, drinking  and a fair bit of gambling I managed to leave Las Vegas with $400 more in my pocket than when I left Houston! Must be birthday luck ;o)

Some more photos are available here

Now I am back in the baby zone and we are attending classes, buying everything we will need and we are both looking forward to January!
