Viva Las Vegas..

So.. this week Jason and I embarked on what we like to refer to as "THE DRIVE". The 8 hour car trip between lush San Jose, and the deserts of Las Vegas. We have made this drive MANY times..Jason lived in Vegas our whole engagement, we lived there for a year and a half, and my dad and little brother Cody live there now. This used to be a time where Jason and I would spend hours and hours telling stories and passing the time with conversation..but since we have 2 kids we like to do the whole drive overnight, so they are sleeping the whole time. Let me reiterate.."WE" are sleeping the whole night:) I really try so hard to stay awake for Jason, but I get so sleepy in the car even in broad day light, the shortest drive can knock me out. So, Jason, Bless his heart, made this trip to Vegas and back only with the company of his sunflower seeds. We went to Las Vegas for WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International). A yearly convention where photographers all around the world head to the bright lights of Las Vegas to listen to other great photographers teach,and speak, and to see an ENORMOUS trade show of the latest photography products, albums,gear, photo labs..etc.. It's incredible.. We went to the trade show only this year..we were going to have limited babysitting time, and we were really anxious to compare the companies were currently use, to all the others that are out there.. This also was a week to visit my dad and Cody:) My dad tries to fly out to San Jose to visit us once a month, or every other month, but we hadn't gone out to visit him in almost 2 years..so we were very excited to stay with him at his house, that used to be "our house" when we lived in Vegas..the house we lived in when Ky Ky was born:) My dad took us to a great little shopping district called "Town Square" which in San Jose, would translate to a "Santana Row"..Where we had incredible lunch and watched the kids play on the most AMAZING little park in the middle of the shopping area..I hadn't posted any recent pics of the kids lately, so here is a few of whom we like to refer to as "brother and sister"..no one really has names anymore..just like the Bernstein Bears:)
