New Year's 2008

And yet another year has come upon us! The last few have been full of good times, but this year we thought doing it Vegas style would be the way to go to ring in the new year! We headed down to the Strip with all good intention to do all we could to ring in the new year in style. Unfortunately, we forgot how crazy people really are. 250,000 showed up on the Strip this year...believably fewer than last year! We watched the big jump over the Arch d Triumph...luckily we didn't go over to the Rio to watch the truck do a back flip. In case you didn't see that one...he didn't do so well. The motorcyle jump wasn't too shabby. People crowded around and cheered him on. There were no bottles (plastic or glass) allowed on the Strip...so everyone walked around with 2 liter bottles of Beer and gallon pitchers full of Budwiser. The clubs were off the hook and the hotels locked down. We rang in the new year in style...and realized we're not that young anymore to really love the scene we found in Vegas. Definately worth the trip...probably won't do another NYE in Vegas. Next year it's on to Rio!

May this next year bring you much happiness and peace. And may all your resolutions be ones you intend to keep and are able to give your all to.

With love and blessings for the new year!
