The good: Traveling with Alex's basketball team. Fun families!
The bad: The day after hosting Christmas? Crazy!
The good: All my boys together on the trip there.
The bad: Gilligan style...the 4 hour drive became 7 hours, thanks to every single person in southern California deciding to travel to Vegas that day, too.
The good: Our boys (with MY boy being the high scorer!) win a big game, defeating the state champions.
The bad: I miss the big game because Brian gets food poisoning and quite literally barfs for 9 hours straight. Poor thing. Let's just say that I will NEVER again use a hotel ice bucket without first lining it with a plastic bag. And you shouldn't either.
The good: Christmas in Vegas is pretty cool...all those fancy schmancy hotels all gussied up.
The bad: People, people everywhere...including one very bad person who stole my friends wallet and charged thousands in the one hour it took for her to realize and cancel her cards.
The good: Buffets. An all suites hotel. The Wizard of Oz slot machine that went crazy when I won 2,000 pennies! Maggiano's take out. Books on an iPad.
The bad: Realizing that this season in life is winding down and coming to an end. The smell of smoke in my hair. The smell of smoke, period.
The good: Brian recovers! The fountains at the Bellagio. Salt and butter NY pretzels.
The bad: So many cool things to see...not enough time. Having to miss dinner reservations at Rao's. Losing a big game by close to 30.
The good: A safe and quick and easy trip home.
The bad: After listening to Alex cough all the way home, we drive straight to the DR. Hello, bronchitis.
It feels good to be home.

Smoke? They allow smoking in Nevada? One good thing about IL is that there is NO smoking in indoor public places (restaurants, malls, offices, etc). I kinda forget about smoke, as I never have to deal with it (thankfully).
